INTRODUCTION. 
 
 This work is, in fact, what it is in name, viz., Souvenir of The 
 Saint Patrick's Day Centennial Celebration, and as such it cannot be 
 more appropriately dedicated than to the officers and men of the 
 Second Regiment, this being the day of their first parade as a regi- 
 ment. In so dedicating the book, the publisher respectfully calls on 
 all friends and readers, especially those whose means demand of 
 them to act a more manly part in looking to the financial success of 
 this, our first Irish regiment. The boys are all right, and have made 
 many sacrifices of their time and means to bring it to its present per- 
 fection. Its failure, if ever such should occur, will be to the eternal 
 disgrace to what is known as our wealthy Irish citizens. Let us hope 
 that the brand of such a crime is not to fall on them.

 How to Get to the New Eldorado -And What Yon Will Find When There 
 An Interesting: Batch of Information. 
 
 From a Correspondent of the Detroit P>-ess. 
 
 CHEYKNNK, WYOMING, March 5. Your correspondent arrived here to-day. The weather is what 
 eastern people would call fine. At this elevation it is cool, but the atmosphere is dry too dry, I should say, 
 for practical purposes, for although to-day is Sunday the bars are all in full operation and well patronized. 
 Gambling hells and theatres are also open, and Black Killers are arriving and leaving hourly. The roads 
 are as fine as you would find them in Detroit on a July day, and quite as dusty. 
 
 I have just met Mr. J. H. Chancy, of Colorado Territory, and who is connected with mining operations 
 in the hills. He went to Custer City about the 1st of February, and stayed about two weeks. Custer City 
 has 875 houses finished and 150 more under way. There are about 2,590 inhabitants now in Custer City, 
 and Hill City is about the same size. There is a new town laid out and being settled fast nine miles below 
 Hill City, on Spring creek, and another going up on Deadwood creek. There are now two saw-mills in 
 full operation in the hills, but they cannot supply lumber fast enough, Six others are reported to be on the 
 road. Lumber is selling green from the saw at $45 to $50 per M. Mr. Chancy met on the road a fair-sized 
 steamed brewery and the necessary fixtures, also a party of eight women and the necessary fixtures for 
 _ opening a dance-house, all en route for the Hills. He counted, between here and Custer City, over 1,200 
 men on their way into the Hills. They were composed of all classes a great many were miners from Salt 
 Lake, Big and Little Cottonwood and California ; also speculators, business men, and a great many of the 
 poorer classes on foot, who will suffer on account of their going in too early. 
 WHAT ABOUT GOLD ? 
 
 The miners that are going in are generally men of clear sense and sound judgment. They send men 
 ahead of them to prospect, and do not risk anything until they get a statement. Raburgh & Co., at Custer 
 City, on French creek, take from 10 to 15 per cent, to the pan, or about $25 to the man, per day, under diffi- 
 culties and disagreeable weather, only working four to five hours per day. When the warm weather opens, 
 and all can commence sluicing, the prospects will be better. Mr. Chancy went down the creek, where two 
 Swedes were working, and requested them to allow him to prospect the dirt that they were taking out and 
 packing to the stream about 75 yards. They refused, but he obtained about a fair-sized handkerchief full 
 and washed it. As nearly as he could estimate, it would yield about 30 cents to the pan, but every miner 
 knows that dirt will show good color in spots and yet prove af ailure ; that is not pay to an extraordinary 
 extent. Mr. Chancy thinks, from what he has observed, and others also, that I have conversed with, that 
 there will he 
 
 RICH AND PAYING CLAIMS. 
 opened by the middle of the summer, and good discoveries made in several different places. 
 
 On Spring creek, 15 miles from Custer, near Hill City, they have opened claims that have averaged 
 $1.50 per hour to the man, when they could work, but the water is very cold, and men cannot stand it to 
 work over four hours per day. There is an excitement on Rapid creek, and it is also claimed on good 
 authority that rich discoveries have been made recently on Iron creek, 75 miles north of Custer. All along 
 this creek, for its entire length, the proof is good. This comprises what I have so far learned about the gold 
 hills. I find that each person that has come out of the hills is going to return, sooner or later. 
 THE BLACK HILLS AS A HOME. 
 
 Mr. Chancy says it is the finest farming region in the world, and that the stock that have been there all 
 winter are fat as seals. There is plenty of grass, and no need of cattle or horses starving, even if left to 
 themselves through an entire winter. There has been no snow to amount to anything, and the creeks are all 
 open. Custer and Hill City both have corporation or municipal police and justices. The towns are very 
 quiet, no rows or troubles of any kind being prevalent. 
 
 HOW TO GET THERE. 
 
 For the benefit of people contemplating coming in here this spring, I will give an estimate of the ex- 
 pense. It will cost for first-class fare over the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific and Union Pacific railroads 
 to Cheyenne, $41 ; second-class, $33 ; emigrant, $25.50. This will be the best route to come for those con- 
 templating bringing any kind of merchandise with them, as the Chicago & Rock Island railroad have inside 
 rates on freight, and there is less delay and trouble. In getting an outfit it will be better to leave it until 
 arriving at Cheyenne, as it can be purchased here as, cheaply as in Chicago or Omaha, with the freight 
 added. The outfit, with provisions enough to last three months, will cost about $100, and the expense 
 ranges from here to the Hills all the way from $ 10 to $20. One can stage it in for $20, with 100 pounds of 
 baggage, distance 182 miles. There are established ranches every 18 miles all the way in. 
 
 COST OF LIVING. 
 
 Flour is worth in Custer City $10 for 100 Ibs. ; bacon, zoc ; sugar, A coffee, 250 ; navy beans, izc; 
 Board $12 per week. 
 
 The Inter Ocean hotel is perhaps as good a place as one could stop at in Cheyenne, while staying here. 
 It is first-class, but prices are quite reasonable, and they take pains to give reliable information. 
 
 By the way, a gentleman left here some days since for Chicago to buy a quartz mill . He is about to 
 open a fine quartz'claim of his in the Hills. Reports are favorable for quartz mining. 
 
 Business is very lively here with preparations for leaving for the Hills. The roads are dry and hard all 
 the way in, and feed is good all along the route. Everybody concedes that this is the best way to come, by 
 all means less trouble and the quickest. 
 
 DANGER OF BEING SCALPED. 
 
 There is no trouble anticipated from the Indians, and so far no depredations have been committed by 
 them of any consequence. This route is said to be free entirely of roving bands. There is really more 
 
 (danger to parties of three or four going in from whites than from Indians, and men would be foolish to go in 
 in small parties. 
 
 1 understand that it is not policy for any one to start till about the middle of April, as the spring break- 
 up will then be over and the roads better.. VAL.
