The Ozark-Mahoning Company was the largest producer of fluorite and was the last major producer to operate in the region. This company operated a group of mines primarily northeast of Spar Mountain, but workings were connected to the older adjacent Spar Mountain Mines, making it difficult to identify individual mine boundaries (Figure 19). These Mahoning Mines had several shafts, four of which (No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5) were active in 1950 (Davis 1953).
