Tenor of lead and zinc ore and concentrates produced in Kansas, 1913 and 1914. Total crude ore short tons Total concentrates in crude ore: Lead per cent Zinc Metal content of crude ore: Lead Zinc Average lead content of galena concentrates Average zinc content of sphalerite concentrates Average zinc content of zinc silicate and carbonate Average value per ton: Galena concentrates Sphalerite concentrates Zinc silicate and carbonate. $$$16. 40 The lead and zinc deposits of Kansas, so far as developed, arelimited to the southeastern portion of the State, in Cherokee comprise the western extension of the ore deposits of the Joplinregion and display the general characteristics of that area, exceptthat here typical sheet-ground deposits have not been extensivelydeveloped. The ores are galena and lead carbonate, sphalerite orzinc blende, and zinc carbonate and silicate. The galena is practi-cally nonargentiferous, carrying but a small fraction of an ounce ofsilver to the ton of lead concentrates. During the period of discovery and first operations of the mines inthe vicinity of Joplin small discoveries of lead ore were frequentlymade in In 1870 zinc ore was discovered on the Cook landnear Galena, and about 1872 some zinc ore from the property wassold in Joplin. In the spring of 1876 lead ore was discovered on theHarper farm, o
