Historical NoteReturn to Top

The origins of Homestake Mining Company date back to 1876 when Moses and Fred Manuel began prospecting for gold near Deadwood, South Dakota, in the Black Hills on the Wyoming-South Dakota border. On April 9, 1876, they established the Homestake Mine near Bobtail Gulch. On November 5, 1877, George Hearst of San Francisco, along with Lloyd Tevis and James Haggin negotiated a deal with the Manuel Brothers to incorporate and the Homestake Mining Company was formed. The Homestake Mine grew to be the largest gold mine in America. Until about 1950, the company’s main interest was in gold. After 1950 the company diversified and began to explore in the Western United States as well as the Midwest for copper, zinc, silver, lead, and uranium. By the 1960s it had expanded into world exploration in many countries including Canada, Chile, Peru, Australia, and the islands of the South Pacific. The Homestake Mine in South Dakota closed in 2002. Homestake Mining Company is headquartered in California and continues to mine for gold and silver in North America, South America and Australia.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The Homestake Mining Company records include information about mine sites and mining activities including maps, drill logs, assays, leases and claims, environmental reports, and reconnaissance. The bulk of the material relates to mining activity in the Rocky Mountain Region. A small amount of material relates to states outside of the Rocky Mountain region. The largest percentage of the material relates to uranium mining in the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming with an emphasis on the Hauber Mining District near the town of Hulett in Crook County. Other Wyoming areas include Sweetwater County, the Gas Hills, the Shirley Basin, Fremont County, Natrona County, the Big Horn Basin, Sublette County, Converse County, Johnson County and the Powder River Basin, from the period of 1952 to 1989. There is a small amount of corporate history including photographs of the Homestake Mine in South Dakota, newspaper clippings, and annual reports as well as corporate legal documents. A small amount of correspondence and photographs relate to the family of Charles S. Johnson, who was an early resident of Lead, South Dakota, and was involved with Homestake Mining. There are early Black Hills, South Dakota and Montana mining claim maps from the 1870s to the 1920s.
