Iron ores and associates at Buckland\u27s Bank, Sec. 20. T. 37. R 8, W, Phelps Co. Missouri
Full text linkThe Iron deposit locally Known as Bucklands Bank is situated in the south half of Sec. 20. T. 37 R. 8 west Phelps County Missouri, about four (4) and a half (1/2) miles west of Rolla and on the line of the Atlantic and Pacific R.R.
It was opened by Sen. T. C. Buckland of St. Louis in 18--, but subsequently was leased to Mr. Wm. James of St. James, who shipped the ore for treatment at the Ozark Furnace five and a half (5 1/2) miles further westward on the railroad.
The deposit is classified by Schmidt* as a disturbed Specular ore deposit, that is, it is an aggregation of ores, which in their former state lay parallel to the enclosing rock and consequently forming a layer between any stratified or foliated rock, but which has since been disturbed by various causes --page 1

Illustrations of the treatment of nickeliferous ores at Mine La Motte, Madison County, Missouri
Full text linkThe Mine la Motte property consists of a tract of about 24000 acres situated in the counties of Madison and St. Francois, principally in the former, however. It has been worked since the year 1720, and besides its historical interest is certainly one of the most important mines in the state, as regards both the capitalist and scientist. These facts warrant a detailed description of the mines, and the methods of working which are in vogue there, these being necessary to any one who would realize their magnitude and importance. The property is situated about 100 miles southeast of St. Louis on the Iron Mountain Railroad. The principal mining is done at the village of Mine la Motte, three miles east of Mine la Motte station. The deposits of nickel and cobalt found here are the most extensive now known and operated in the United States, and yield a very large proportion of the total production of these metals in the world --Historical and Descriptive, page 3

Following this is a tangent of 400 feet. And then in succession: A 10⁰ curve, to the left; 10 chords; a tangent of 100 feet a 10⁰ curve, to the right, 8.5 chords; a tangent of 1485 feet; a 9⁰ curve, to the left; 8 chords; a tangent of 2230 feet; a 3⁰ 45’ curve, to the right; 6 chords; a tangent of 200 feet; a 6⁰ 05’ curve, to the left; 5.7 chords and a tangent of 400 feet to the fair grounds front --page 3
Limes, mortars, and cements
Full text linkLime, considered as a building material, is not usually regarded as comprehending three principal varieties - viz: Common or air lime, Hydraulic lime, and Hydraulic cement.
The common or air lime, is so called because the paste made from it with water will harden only in air. Lime is made by burning limestone in kilns suitably arranged for that purpose. Two classes of such kilns are in general use; the intermittent or flare kiln and the draw or perpetual kiln. --page 1
