Description:Excerpt from Annual Bulletin on Mineral Resources of Kansas, for 1897 For years the writer has had forced upon him in many different ways, and under many different circumstances, the fact that no publication has ever been made giving in a concise and precise form the output of the various mines and smelters of the state of Kansas. For many years hundreds of inquiries have been received from outside the state asking for printed matter relating to the mineral resources of Kansas. Similar letters of inquiry have been sent the writer by the Governor, the Secretary of State, and other state officials at Topeka, each one of whom was obliged to say in his explanatory letter: "I know of no such published documents; can you assist us?" However, the inquiries from outside the state have been few in comparison with those from within. It would probably not be overstating the matter to say that we have few citizens in our whole state who are well informed on the mineral resources which we possess. Many have a vague idea that, somewhere in the southeast part of the state, lead ores and zinc ores are mined and smelted, and have expressed great surprise that, for a period of years, not a single lead smelter was in operation within our borders. Others have thought that our lead ores were shipped to the coal fields in the vicinity of Pittsburg and Weir City, on account of the cheapness of fuel in that vicinity; not knowing, first, that coal is seldom used in smelting lead ores, and second, that the amount of fuel used in such operations is so small that it is of comparatively little importance. Still others, with whom the writer has talked, have known of the extensive zinc smelting plants near our great coal mines, and have stoutly insisted that, of course, our zinc mining and zinc smelting industries are carried on in the same localities. A similar lack of exact information regarding other mining operations is constantly met with by our own citizens and by those outside our state. Our state board of agriculture issues biennially a large volume, and lesser reports quarterly, which publish to the world the natural resources of Kansas in agriculture, stock-raising, and dairying. Our importance in those lines is thereby known and recognized all over the civilized world. This is in strong contrast with our reputation in mining and metallurgical operations.
