Lead and Central City, South Dakota

Today I am going to write a little about the town
of Lead (pronounced Leed), South Dakota.
The town is located 18 miles south west of the
town of Sturgis and 4 miles from Deadwood. It was the home of the Homestake Gold Mine for more than 100 years and gets it's name from the word lead, which is another way of
saying ore vein.

Lead has a population of approximately
3000 people. After the Homestake Gold Mine
closed a few years ago, the town went into an
economic slump for a couple of years but is now starting to thrive again as tourists find the town and it's attractions which include two
nearby downhill ski slopes, miles and miles of
snow mobile, cross country skiing and hiking
trails.

The National Science Foundation recently
selected the Homestake Mine as the location
of it's planned deep underground science lab.
If and when it is established it will be at a
depth of nearly 8000 feet, the deepest of any
underground lab in the world.
To complement the 8000 foot NSF lab, the
state of South Dakota is in the process of developing a lab at the 4850 foot level for
those institutions and scientists who wish to
run experiments which don't require a location
any deeper than that.

Lead is located in a high valley and the slopes
on either side of the Valley. It has a recently
renovated opera house to bring back the opera glory days of 100 years ago. It also has a very
interesting gold mining museum, fine restaurants
and hotels.

The tiny hamlet of Central City is located 3 miles
from Deadwood and one mile from Lead. It has
a population of around 100 people. There isn't
a lot to say about Central City except it exists.
