with the Black Hills gold rush of 1875. In the early years, milling de-vices were simple, hand-run machines, but once the era of placer mining was over, milling—the process or processes whereby gold is extracted from the ore—evolved into an industry of Its own. Most Black Hills gold ore was low grade, which meant that the amount of
