A United Stormy Days in the Black Hills Custer Here s Gold in these hear Hills but that s not what makes conversation around Here today. The most controversial subject in the Black Hills of South Dakota today is a 500-foot-tall dream in a Man s head. The head that holds the dream is on the shoulders of Korczak Ziol Kowski Boston born sculptor Andwar Veteran. The figure in the dream is a Gigantic memorial statue of crazy horse famous Sioux Warrior a statue so huge2000 people could stand on the chief s out Flung Arm. To to make his dream come True. Ziolkowski must carve it out himself from thunderhead Moun Tain and that is what is causing the controversy. These magic mountains were once sacred ground to the Sioux. Today they Are less venerated but no Les loved by the White victors who have turned the Black Hills into year round vacation land. They have stocked the area with wild game pheasant Deer. Elk. Buffalo Beaver and want to keep it fresh and unspoiled. For this reason Many grumble when Gutzon Borglum conceived the mount Rushmore Are glad now he carried it out. The great shrine carrying the faces of Washington Jefferson Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt draws 6000 tourist visitors a Day during the summer. The people of South Dakota Are proud of crazy horse Monument proposal however is meeting perhaps even sturdier criticism than did Borglum s Rushmore project in. The Early 20 _ Don t want to turn our Black Hills into a sculptor s Gal Lery said one elderly resident behind the objection also is feeling that the Indian memorial might Dwarf Rushmore. Which i about 20-Miles away. Others think on the other hand it would serve a a twin drawing card for of those who question Ziolkowski s plan question his competency or his courage. His head of Paderewski was voted by spectators As the most popular sculptural exhibit at the Newyork world s fair. He also worked for a Short time with Borglum on mount Rushmore. The sculptor. 39, fiery Boyish and determined lives in a spa Cious wooden Lodge he designed and built himself near Thunder head Mountain. His hair is shaggy and tousled he still wears the old i boots he wore likes to talk about his crazy horse memorial and loves to arguments against it. It has Cost me �81.000 so far and i Haven t put my chisel to Stone he says cheerfully. Buti la finish it if it takes 30 Ziolkowski said he was first asked in 1939 by chief Henry standing Bear to carve the me Morial because we want the White Man to know the red Man had heroes so the sculptor went out and bought a Gold we mentioned a ways Back is just about the re verse in size of Ziolkowski s Monument. In fact a Gold miners about As Likely to see an ele Phant underground As he is if he did see it he probably would t recognize it. This is on of the oddities of digging out the yellow Metal that gives the boy sat fort Knox something to guard and provides the nation s dentist something to fill a tooth with. It is very rare to find free specks of Gold says Harlan Walker assistant general manager of the Home stake mine in Lead South Dakota largest in the americas. A Miner can work years Here and never see Gold mining is an intricate Industry comparable in Many ways to an automobile factory. Intakes Many skills to glean from one ton of Ore its final product barely enough Gold to make a wedding ring and it May cost�200,000 or More to blast through Rock to reach an Ore body wort working. Practically everything taken out of the mine is put Back i wifi one noteworthy exception the Gold. After the Ore has been crushed and passed through meshes of a screen finer than the sifting cloth used in flour Mills the waste Sand is pumped Bac Kinto the mine As fill to prevent Wall collapses.
