Z ley , through the high priced agricultural land , through the
Z clu-aper Hay Lands In North Nebraska , into the cattle
ranges and nurds in Northwest Nebraska and through the

9 Oil Fields of Wyoming to the gold , silver and copper mines ,
and to the Hot Springs of South Dakota. It is the best ,
and to most of the above territory , the Only R. R. Line.
Casper , the Wyoming terminus of the Elkhorn R. R. , is in
the heart of the sheep and wool-growing section , and is the
largest wool-shipping point in the United States. The Hot
Springs of South Dakola is a pleasure and sanitary resort.
Its waters , olimato and altitude constitute a specific for cur
ing rheumatism. The gold mines of the Black Hills are being
moro extensively worked than over before. This railroad
was the pioneer to the Black Hills. It is the shortest and
best route , offering the best facilities and comforts of travel
available.
