A Pb occurrence located 6 miles S of Cole Camp.
These are in the NE 1/4 of the NE. 1/4 of section 32, township 42 N, 21 W. According to Shumard's report of 1867 to Major R. H. Melton, the owner of the land, ore was dug here from pits in the clay; later, several caves were encountered, containing galena, and a shaft was sunk to a depth of 35 ft.; at one point a lode of galena nearly one foot thick was encountered, running E.- W. Galena is found in the adjoining section 29, and large quantities of barite, also. Major Melton informs the writer that 150 tons of lead ore were produced from the Cole Camp mine before the war, and that millions of pounds of lead have been taken from these two sections altogether. A lead furnace was built here and the lead smelted, and the pigs shipped thence to St. Louis.
