Industrial Report On Lead Zinc And Iron Together With Notes On Shannon County And Its Copper Deposits
Author: Various

Industrial report on lead, zinc and iron, together with notes on Shannon County and its copper deposits - REPORT. His ExceZZency, CHAS. H . HARDIN Governor of missouri SIR I have the honor to forward herewith the report of the operations of the Geological Survey in the direction of an examination of the conditions surrounding certain of the prom... more »inent industries , of Missouri. The economical aspects presented in the production of two of the great staples of the State have been investigated with considerable detail by a study of the means, appliances, and the chemical problemsconnected with the manufacture of the metals, lead a7d zinc. Some attention has been given to the iron industry as well, but the general stagnation of this great business has manifested itself by such a decrease in the activity of the furnaces of this State, that facilities were wanting for the collection of sufficient data for anything approaching that comprehensive and thorough study which the importance of the subject demands. The production of charcoal iron is, however, presented with some degree of fullness. In shaping the work intrusted to me by the Board of Curators of the State University, towards the attainment of the ends indicated, I have been influenced by the fact that while a large amount of the structural geology of the State, and the special geology of its mineral deposits had already been made public in the reports of Messrs. Swallow, Pumpelly, Broadhead and others, but little had been accnmulated towards unfolding the history of the technology which the conversion of the raw materials from those mineral deposits into commercial products had created within the borders of Missouri. Further, the appropriation of five thousand dollars yearly was not ade-, quate to keeping in the field a forcesufficient for thorough and rapid work in those couiities which had not before received special attention. The material which could be collected under existing circumstances is not full enough for a geological history of those counties however, as interesting copper occurrences have long been known to exist within the litnits of Shannon county, some space has bee devoted to a geological history ol those deposits, this course being regarded as in accord with the design of this report. Notes on the supposed gold deposits of Northern Rlissouri have also been given in the appendix. I must acknowledge, in this connection, the very efficient assistance rendered in the laboratory by Mr. A. W. Hare. His zeal and industry have enabled me to make a much fuller presentation of the chemical illustrations of the work than could have been done other wise. Other aid, whenever rendered, is aclinowledged in thereport. Some of the notes on the St. Louis industrial district collected, bq Dr. Adolph Schmidt, have been used with his sanction. These notes. having been taken as early as 1872, have lost rnuch of their value in the lapse of titne and the progress and growth of the industrie, and their reproduction would only extend this report without presenting the actual conditions of the manufi ctures to which they relate. Much of present value is contained in Dr. Schmidt7s notes on the iron deposits, but as an account of these was foreign to this present work, these notes have not been reproduced. All of which is respectfully submitted. Your obedient servant, CIIAS. 1. WILIJIAMS, ROLLAN, O...
