[[underlined]]Sundance[[/underlined]]

Oaks, Pines other trees come down to Spearfish which is the prettiest located town in the Hills. It is at the mouth of a fine canon & at edge of timber. There is a fine stream of water as clear as crystal. The town itself is rather nice. There are many good cottages with trees & shrubbery. The valley below town is full of good irrigated farms. The view from all sides is pleasing.

Bulah is a only a little died out town but is on a splendid stream & in a good farming valley.
