The Nulsen Corporation (formerly Nulsen, Klein & Krausse Manufacturing Company), Levee and Sidney Sts., St. Louis, Mo., owns barytes rights on lots 691, 692, and 750, and in fee simple parts of 678, 691, 693, and 751, 4th district, 3d section, three-quarters of a mile northwest of Emerson. This property is in addition to the barytes rights on lots 762 and 823 which are leased to the DuPont de Nemours Company. The mine is on lot 750, just west of the Western & Atlantic Railroad. G. Miltenberger, Jr., is manager. It was first opened about 1905 as a brown iron ore mine, but so much barytes was encountered that the limonite was abandoned. The next year W. R. Satterfield sold his option on the barytes ore to Nulsen, Klein & Krausse. The Nulsen Corporation still owns the rights and produces thousands of tons of high-grade ore each year. When the mine was first opened, the ore was hauled in wagons to Emerson, but about 1908 or 1909, a spur track was laid connecting the mine and washer with the Western & Atlantic Railroad. The Nulsen mine is the oldest operating barytes mine in the State.
