The beginnings of the present-day Mineral Palace extend to Deadwood's early days. In 1876 a shrewd and cunning entrepreneur named Al Swearengen arrived in rowdy Deadwood and the following year he established The Gem Theatre on the site now occupied by the Mineral Palace. It seems that the term "theatre" was loosely used, because the Gem was actually a house of prostitution.
Always packed with fortune-hunters, the Gem survived fires, floods and wild patrons to become one of Deadwood's most venerable and longest-operating entertainment establishments. Legend has it that in its prime the Gem was an immensely profitable venture, taking in at least $5,000 on most nights, and $10,000 on some.
