The pine covered hills are much the same as they were in '76. Some of them have been levelled to make way for houses jmd stores but mostly the houses just go up the mountainside to cling where they can.

Main street is the same road the bullwhackers drove oxen over to bring the Camille necessities and luxuries to the camp. White-wood Creek flows through the heart of the city but its banks are walled now and the crystal clear water is muddy and black. Deadwood residents are mighty glad that it is for the only time it is clear is when the great Home-stake mills are not in operation. The water is dirty because of chemicals from the gold mining process. It's been clean only once in the memory of most of us and that was during World War II when the government halted gold mining in an effort (not very successful) to get the men to the copper mines.

i In 1876, the stranger was greeted with a hearty "hello, make yourself at home." It didn't matter who he was or what no one asked "and what was your name in the States?" Folks went about their affairs, let others do the same. Only in times of crisis or emergency did they pay much attention and then the hearts of the miners were as big as the Hills. If a man needed money for an illness, if a widow had to go back to her people, round went the hat, and the sum was forthcoming. In that respect Deadwood hasn't changed very much. It welcomes as heartily as ever the strangers, thousands of whom will be here in a few days.

It says "Hi, friend, light and sit." But It isn't indifferent to the comfort or 'entertainment of the visitors. We, the folks who are privileged to live in Deadwood all year, welcome you enthusiastically. Make our city yours. Ask us anything you wish take advantage of the entertainment we are offering visit our parks, public buildings, our meandering, sur-priseful streets. Stay a day or two after the formal celebration ends and let us leisurely show you more of our way of life.
