HILL CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA

Reading edition

Hill City is situated on the Burlington Railroad, and is right in the midst of the mining district of the Southern Black Hills, it is surrounded by fine mountain ranches, that have suffered only one crop failure in 25 years. These ranches produce 60 to 70 bushels of oats per acre that weigh from 40 to 48 lbs. to the bushel, wild and timothy hay grow abundantly, as well as potatoes, all without irrigation.

Hill City being the half way point on the Scenic Highway north and south through the Hills makes it the ideal point for a noon or night stop for automobilists, there being first-class hotels and restaurants to provide comfort and good meals for the tourists. By the opening of the season of 1913 the town will be equipped with a garage at which can be had gas, oil and minor repairs.
