Nelson Gold Mine in Deadwood<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

He<\/span> was already operating a limestone mine in order to make plaster for all of the new buildings in Sioux Falls. Nels had MUCH more experience than the average man who went west looking for gold to make his fortune. It\u2019s interesting to think of the stories. Seth Bullock was still sheriff and Al Swearengen was still running the GEM saloon.<\/span>
