Excerpt from Industrial Report on Lead, Zinc and Iron: Together With Notes on Shannon County and Its Copper Deposits Notes on the supposed gold deposits of Northern Missouri have also been given in the appendix. I must acknowledge, in this connection, the very efficient assist ance rendered in the laboratory by Mr. A. W. Hare. His zeal and industry have enabled me to make a much fuller presentation of the chemical illustrations of the work than could have been done other wise. Other aid, whenever rendered, is acknowledged in the report. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
