Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geology and Mineral Products of Missouri The State of Missouri is located in the central portion of the United States, in that region known as the Mississippi valley. It is bounded on the east by the Mississippi river, on the south by the lines 36 and 30 30 of north latitude, and on the west by the meridian which passes through the mouth of the Kansas river at latitude 39 7', and longitude 94 37'. Thence the boundary line follows the Missouri river in a northwesterly direction to a point at about latitude 40 34 2/3', longitude 95 . This is the northwestern corner of the State, and thence the northern boundary line extends eastwards approximately along the line of same latitude to the Des Moines river, which it intersects at longitude 91-1, about 25 miles above the mouth of that stream. The area of the State, according to the figures of the eleventh census of the United States, is 69,415 square miles. Physiography. Generally speaking, the whole State is an incised plain; no great mountain ranges traverse it. The maximum difference of absolute elevation within the whole area is only 1,500 feet; the local and relative differences are still less, and do not exceed 700 feet. More closely speaking, the following four topographic divisions may be recognized: (1.) A plain or prairie country. (2.) A plateau country. (3.) A highland or semi-mountainous country. (4.) An alluvial or swamp country. (1.) The Prairie Country. - The prairie country of the State is principally represented in the northern portion, and in that part north of the Missouri river; it also occupies, however, nearly all of the two tiers of counties south of that stream which extend along the Kansas line. Adjacent to the Missouri river and to other large streams this country loses its prairie features and is rugged and characterized by steep, timbered slopes and bluffs adjacent to and bordering the flood plains of these streams. Away from the channels, however, the country assumes the character of a broad plain, sometimes flat, but generally undulating. In fact the local differences of elevation often amount to 100 feet or more, but the slopes are so gentle that the country does not lose the aspect of a plain. The growth of trees is here not abundant, excepting along the streams. It must, however, be understood that, though a comparatively level and treeless country, it is of a very different type from the great flat plains of Western Kansas. (2.) The Plateau Country. - The plateau country of the State occupies the central southern part, south of the Missouri river. This is the area known as the Ozark Mountains, and is essentially a dome-shaped uplift, with very gentle quaquaversal slopes. It differs from the prairie country chiefly in its greater relative altitude, and in that it is not covered by a protecting and modifying coat of glacial material. As a result the land is more pronouncedly sculptured. The valleys are cut deeper, and the slopes are more abrupt; the area is made up of a series of long ridges and hills, divided by deep narrow valleys, often oi carbon-like dimensions. Timber is abundant, but, on the other hand, the land is generally less fertile than that of the northern portion of the State. Near the crest of the Ozarks the type of topography is not nearly so pronounced, and we have here quite a large expanse of undulating country; thence, in all directions, however, the streams cut deeper and deeper, and the profile becomes more serrated. (3.) The Highland Country. - What we term for convenience the highland or semi-mountainous country, lies in Southeastern Missouri, and includes what we have named the St. Francois mountains. These are a series of knobs and domes of Archean porphyry and granite which rise to altitudes of from 1,700 to 1,800 feet, A.T., and some 700 feet above the surrounding valleys. The whole area covered by these mountains is not over 1,000 square miles. These are d."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geological Survey of Missouri: Bulletin No; 1 This publication is the first of a series of bulletins which it is the purpose of the Geological Survey to issue at intervals. They are not intended to embody final results, nor are they to be taken as reports of progress to date. The material in them will represent such portion of the results of the work of the Survey, as can be provisionally and brie y presented in a serviceable form; the aim will be to make the matter such as the demand is most urgent for. But it must be distinctly understood that no such publication, or series of publications, represents the total product of the Survey's expenditure of money or labor, as is more fully explained in the following administrative report. In the present instance, in addition to what is here presented, a large amount of work, the short time considered, has been done on the zinc and lead deposits of the State, some of the results of which, it is the intention, shall appear in the next bulletin; further, a large part of Lafayette county has been examined and mapped in detail, and similarly portions of Iron and adjoining counties, and work has been done and facts have been collected relating to the geology of Jackson and Johnson counties. A general ia spection has been made of the quarry industry of the State, preliminary to future work, and considerable progress has also been made in the examination of the clays in the vicinity of St. Louis. In addition to this a large amount of work has been done in the office in draughting and correspondence, and in the laboratory in the examination and arrangement of specimens.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preliminary Report on the Structural and Economic Geology of Missouri: Bureau of Geology and Mines Having collected a large amount of information that is new and interesting to practical men, my aim was to have made this the most valuable report issued by this survey. But the correspondence of the office became such a burden during the winter months that nearly all of my time was thus consumed. A severe affliction came upon me in the meantime, and I have had very little time to put on the report. Yet, not withstanding the unfavorable conditions under which it was written, 1 feel some pride in submitting this preliminary re port to the people of Missouri. When the reader has read it and analyzed it, he will doubtless conclude that we have been going directly after fundamental facts in Missouri geology. Proceeding on the plan, outlined in the Biennial Report for 1897 the Survey is getting the information first and reporting it afterwards.

Book excerpt: NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS The Common Rocks And Minerals Of Missouri This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!
