These diggings lie in section 16, township 29N, 17W. They were first operated by Ex-Gov. J. W. McClarg in 1814, who worked here at intervals until the war. The lead was found in clay overlying magnesian limestone, and was obtained from shallow pits and shafts. Some 150 tons of galena were mined and smelted in a rude log furnace, and then hauled partly to St. Louis and partly to Linn Creek, Camden county. Since the war, the property has passed through a number of hands, and much money has been spent in prospecting for deeper runs of mineral, but so far with but scant success.
