ing Company has been the most consistent producer year by 
year, and, without doubt, in the aggregate surpasses that of 
any other equal area. The following table, taken from a 
paper by Miss Irene G. Stone, now Mrs. GC. L. Clapp, of 
Kansas City, Mo., shows the amount and value of ore taken 
from this land from 1877 to 1901, inclusive. The production 
since 1901 has not fallen off to any considerable extent, so 
that its high standing as a producer is still maintained.

The Ores. 
The two most important ores in the Galena district are 
galena, for lead ore, and blende, or sphalerite, for zinc ore. 
No other lead or ore occurs in commercial quantities, excepting 
small beds of carbonate or sulphate, or the ‘‘dry bone”’ of 
the miner, which in early times was found to a limited ex- 
tent in a few places where an open, dry ground was mined. 
Likewise, no zinc ore occurs in the entire Galena district of 
any commercial value excepting zinc blende, or sphalerite. 
In a few places zinc carbonate has been found and, rarely, 
traces of zinc silicate. But neither has yet been found in Kan- 
sas in sufficient quantity to have any commercial importance 
whatever. 
Of all minerals or ores associated with those above named, 
pyrite and marcasite are by far the most abundant. These
