Lead,
A valuable mineral found in various parts of the world and in the United States in Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Missouri, Kansas, Wisconsin, Montana, and Illinois.
In the calendar year 1899 the total production in the United States was 304,392 short tons, and the net production of refined lead was 210,500 short tons.
The following is a brief history of the lead industry in the United States: It was first discovered in the Mississippi Valley by Le Sueur in 1700-1, but not mined till 1788, when Julien Dubuque staked a claim near the present site of Dubuque, Ia. The mining of lead, however, did not become general till 1826-27, and all the localities where the mineral had been discovered were not thrown open for sale till 1847.
