This is located on the north line of section 5, township 40 N. 1 W. It is here that the first operations in the county are reported to have been started by the Spaniards before the Louisiana purchase and a great deal of work was done in later years Since 1840 it is estimated that at least 7500 tons of lead ore have been produced. Records of the conditions of occurrence of the ore or descriptions of the mine have not been preserved, and no opportunities are now afforded for making this omission good.
