The principal mining about Neosho has been at the Mosely mines, which include a number of diggings in sections 26, 27 and 35, near where these sections corner. Swallow describes these as the most systematically conducted mines in the southwest in 1831. Large shafts and drifts were sunk in the side of a bluff of limestone, but the mining was entirely in a chert conglomerate, in which were masses of red and white clay containing galena and cerussite. Schmidt describes these diggings in 1873 as consisting of shafts sunk through surface clay and broken chert, in which were included rounded and altered masses of dark gray limestone; between these, at depths of 45 to 50 ft., were irregular seams or elongated pockets of lead and zinc ore; the galena occurred in thin sheets in soft dolomite, and also in the form of crystals adhering to chert or loose in the clay; calamine occurred, enclosing galena or blende, buried in dolomite or red clay.
Operations at these mines have been of an intermittent nature, and, at the time of visit, they were not open for examination. During the last year or two work has been started there again, and quite a large amount of ore has been taken out.
