This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1893 Excerpt: ...the excellent quartz crystals which they have furnished to all the mineralogical collections of this and other lands.2 2.05.09. Example 23. Southeast Missouri. Galena accom panied by nickeliferous pyrite, disseminated through beds of the Third or Lower Magnesian limestone of the Missouri geologists, which is doubtless Cambrian in age. The mines are at Bonne Terre, Mine La Motte, and Doe Run, twenty-five miles west of the Mississippi River and forty to one hundred miles south of St. Louis. The strata lie almost horizontal, and are known to carry lead through over 200 feet in thickness. The productive places fade out into barren rock and appear to be local enrichments of the limestone, of which the galena forms an integral part. At Bonne Terre they are of enormous size, one working running 3000 feet, and being 100 to 200 feet broad and 25 to 60 feet high. No zinc, however, occurs with the lead, and the silver contents are very small, being about four ounces to the ton of lead. At Mine La Motte some copper is found, and considerable nickel and cobalt. The rare mineral siegenite, a variety of linnaeite, impregnates a sandstone supposed to be the equivalent of the Potsdam. Pyrite accompanies the galena both at Mine La Motte and at the other mines, and carries the nickel and cobalt, wdiich is obtained as a by-product in the lead smelting. All the ore bodies are crossed by small faults, adjoining which the rock is invariably barren. Knobs of Archaean granite, containing diabase dikes, crop out near the mines both at Mine La Motte and at Doe Run. But the dikes never penetrate the limestone, and were evidently intruded before it was deposited. 1 J. C.
