Homestake Creek
Homestake Creek is a tributary of the Eagle River in Eagle County, Colorado. Homestake Dam impounds one of the creek's tributaries, Middle Fork Homestake Creek. Homestake Creek itself begins just below the dam, at the confluence of its east and middle forks. Course From its origination point just below the Homestake Dam, the creek flows northeast down the Homestake Valley, generally following Homestake Road (Forest Road 703.1). The valley ends at U.S. Highway 24, and from here the creek generally follows the highway towards the north, to its confluence with the Eagle River at Red Cliff, Colorado, below the Red Cliff Bridge. Homestake Valley The creek flows through the Homestake Valley in Eagle County, Colorado and within the White River National Forest and over some private land. The Holy Cross Wilderness surrounds the valley. A glacial valley, it is known for its diversity of animals and plants and for its fens, a type of wetland. The road through the valley, Homestake ...

Homestake Experiment
The Homestake experiment (sometimes referred to as the Davis experiment or Solar Neutrino Experiment and in original literature called Brookhaven Solar Neutrino Experiment or Brookhaven 37Cl (Chlorine) Experiment) was an experiment headed by astrophysicists Raymond Davis, Jr. and John N. Bahcall in the late 1960s. Its purpose was to collect and count neutrinos emitted by nuclear fusion taking place in the Sun. Bahcall performed the theoretical calculations and Davis designed the experiment. After Bahcall calculated the rate at which the detector should capture neutrinos, Davis's experiment turned up only one third of this figure. The experiment was the first to successfully detect and count solar neutrinos, and the discrepancy in results created the solar neutrino problem. The experiment operated continuously from 1970 until 1994. The University of Pennsylvania took it over in 1984. The discrepancy between the predicted and measured rates of neutrino detection was later found t ...

Homestake Pass
Homestake Pass is a mountain pass in the Rocky Mountains of Montana in the United States. It sits on the Continental Divide on the border between Jefferson County and Silver Bow County, six miles south-southeast of Butte in Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest at an elevation of . The pass carries Interstate 90 across the Continental Divide and is the highest point on the highway. History The pass was discovered by Edwin Harrison McHenry, a civil engineer working for the Northern Pacific Railway, who was tasked with locating a route for the NP from the main line near Logan, Montana through to Butte. The line over the pass from Logan to Garrison, Montana via Butte became the Rocky Mountain Division, Second and Fourth Subdivisions, built in 1889. This was Northern Pacific's scenic transcontinental passenger train route used by the famous '' North Coast Limited'' and its Amtrak successor, the ''North Coast Hiawatha'', which was discontinued in 1979. The line over the pass ...

Homestake Mining Company
Homestake Mining Company was one of the largest gold mining businesses in the United States and the owner of the Homestake Mine in Lead, South Dakota. Founded in 1877, it was acquired by Barrick Gold in December 2001. Homestake was the longest-listed stock in the history of the New York Stock Exchange. History On April 9, 1876 Moses and Fred Manuel established the Homestake Mine near Bobtail Gultch in South Dakota in the Black Hills. George Hearst (father of William Randolph Hearst), Lloyd Tevis, and his brother-in-law James Ben Ali Haggin bought the 10-acre Homestake Mine from its discoverer, Moses Manuel, for $70,000, and incorporated the Homestake Mining Company on November 5, 1877. On January 25, 1879, the company became a public company via an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange, the first mining stock ever listed. It grew to be the largest gold mine in the United States. In 1910 and 1917, the company established hydroelectricity plants. They were so ...
