Carper-Tscharner CollectionAfter 1929, worldwide gold production increased dramatically. The Black Hills of South Dakota output dropped to about 3% percent of the cumulative world production by the end of 2001. Nevertheless, during the period of 1875 through 2001, the Black Hills produced a significant 46.47 million ounces. Of this total, the Homestake
mine produced 39.65 million ounces and the remainder was produced by dozens of other gold mines scattered about the Hills (Cepak, 2002).They once called the Black Hills \"the richest one hundred miles square\". This was certainly not all inclusive of the Black Hills proper. In fact, it
probably included only the area around Lead, which included the Homestake as well as dozens of other mines. The Black Hills after all are more like 6,000
square miles. But consider the term \"richest\" and the validity of the previous statement holds. There probably is no place on earth, where, in such a small area, mineralized quantities exist of gold, silver, copper,
tin, columbite - tantalite, antimony, lead, bismuth, beryl, feldspar, mica, lithium minerals, tungsten, vanadium, iron, uranium, and industrial and
decorative minerals such as limestone, sand, rose quartz, granite, talc, graphite, fireclay, Fuller\'s earth and yes - coal. All of these commodities were mined at one time or another in the Hills. Gold however has always been the driving force behind the Black Hills economy. One mine, the Homestake gold mine, overshadowed all the other mines in the Hills. However, this article will not shed more glory on the Homestake, but will cast light onto a few of those all but forgotten other gold mines.Gold of Eldorado3-10-13
