Missouri’s Lead Mines.

The lead mines of Missouri, which hav4 yielded tens of millions of dollars and are not yet half worked out, were orginally discovered by a boy and a dog. The dog was chasing a rabbit and fell into a hole, and it was in getting him out that the boy found a piece of ore and took it home to show his father.
