In the wilder portions, bears, wild cats, wolves, silver foxes, and other large game may be found. Special provision has been made for re-stocking the Forest Reserve at frequent intervals with deer and elk which, together with legal protection for these animals from December 1st to November 1st makes them very plentiful. Plover, partridges, pheasants, grouse, ducks and geese may be easily had in season. Although many kinds of fish are found in the mountain streams, trout are the most common. The streams are restocked at frequent intervals from the Government Fishery at Spearfish with Brook, Locklaven, Speckled and Rainbow trout, so that fishing will continue to be one of the leading diversions of the pleasure seeker. From November 1st to May 1st when trout fishing is prohibited in South Dakota, the sport may be continued across the line in Wyoming where no such restriction exists.
SOUTH DAKOTA LAWS CONCERNING AUTOMOBILES
Residents of other states using their cars in South Dakota will not be required to re-register their cars in South Dakota providing they have complied with all laws regarding registration of automobiles in the state from which they came, and providing such state extends a similar privilege to South Dakotans.
Automobiles must be driven in a careful and prudent manner, at a rate of speed such as not to endanger the property, life or limb of any person, provided that a rate of speed in excess of 25 miles per hour is presumptive evidence of driving at a rate of speed which is not careful and prudent, in case of injury to the person or property of another. Local authorities may limit speed to a rate of 10 miles per hour provided proper notices or warnings are placed in the public highway indicating such limitation of speed.
The raising of the hand, by anyone who is leading, driving or riding a horse or other draft animal, as a signal to stop shall cause the driver of any automobile thus signalled to, to stop his car until the danger of frightening such animal is past.
DEADWOOD
Perhaps the best known city in the Northern Hills is Deadwood, the center of the industrial and mining interests of this section. Most excellent hotel and garage accommodations, its convenience to surrounding points of scenic interest, and a general spirit of genuine western hospitality toward all will continue to make it a most popular tourist center. Although high in the Hills it is connected with the plains outside by a good road of easy gradient.
RAPID CITY
At the point of entrance to the Black Hills from the east, Rapid City has become a leading industrial and railway center. Good hotel and garage accommodations make this a pleasant stopping place in the foothills. The trip westward into the Hills along Rapid Creek to Pactola by auto, or by rail to Mystic, should not be overlooked by any tourist in this territory.
