Wessington Springs Herald November 9, 1888
The lecture Monday evening by Mrs. Dr. Hall netted over $15.00 toward the much
coveted planetary globe. Exact amount will be given next week. In itself
considered the lecture was interesting and instructive and was appreciated by
all.  A number of fine specimen of minerals from the Black Hills were on
exhibition; among them the following: pyrites of iron from the Homestake Mines;
tin ore from Custer City; feldspar; schista from tin mines; mica; photograph
rock; red and white gypsum; chalcedony from Buckhorn Range; copper ore from
Deadwood; bullion and silver ore from Galena mines; rubies from Ruby Ledge;
petrified beaver dam; rose quartz; gold ore from Sitting Bull Mines, which
yields from $40,000 to $85,000 per ton. Another specimen of gold yields $12,000
to the ton. Several odd specimens from the Bad Lands: agates both from Black
Hills and Yellowstone Park.
