Similar occurrences of ore were found in at least half a dozen 
different places in the southern end of Leavenworth county, 
and always with practically the same condition of occurrence. 
No apparent local disturbances were observed and the regular 
stratified condition of the country rocks precludes the idea 
that such disturbances ever existed. 
ATCHISON COUNTY. 
Lead ore and zinc ore have been reported from a number 
of different places in Atchison county. At the Donald coal- 
mine on the bank of the Missouri river, two and one-half 
miles below the city, some ore was found in connection with 
the coal. The amount was so smail tbat the coal-miners 
overlooked it. But in 1901 while the Sullivan Machine Com- 
pany was drilling a prospect well for coal Mr. L. N. Mor- 
scher, who was stationed at the well to:receive the core when 
drawn and preserve it for this Survey, noticed small crystais 
of blende and galena in the dump pile thrown from the mine. 
During the few weeks he was stationed there he made a num- 
ber of excursions into the mine and carefully examined the 
walls in many places, with the result that he found both ores. 
The lead ore usually was with pyrite, or ‘‘sulphur rock,’’ in 
the coal itself or close above it. ‘The zinc ore was similarly 
located, and also in the shale above to a distance of ten feet, 
which was as far above the coal as cavings of the roof had 
made examination possible. Some of the crystals were from 
_ one-half to three-fourths of an inch in diameter, but usually 
they were considerably smaller. 
DOUGLAS COUNTY. 
Lead ore and zinc ore have been found in a great many 
different places in Douglas county. Small crystals of zinc 
ore were found near the State University building. Fairly 
good-sized crystals of both ores have been brought to the 
University by farmers living six or more miles to the south- 
west of Lawrence. During the summer of 1901 such dis- 
coveries excited sufficient interest to cause a mining company 
to be organized for the purpose of mining in that part of the 
county. The State Geologist strongly discouraged such on 
the ground that there was not sufficient prospect of finding
