The principal mines of the Carthage camp belong to a group on the north western edge of town, just south of Spring river and close to the Missouri Pacific railway depot, and to another group two or three miles southwest of these.
Mining in the vicinity of Carthage was started at quite an early date. Lead ore was dug there as far back as 1851, but the larger developments have been confined to comparatively recent years, with the exception of that at Pleasant Valley, where mining was in progress over twelve years ago.
Though the quantity of ore which has been produced from the Carthage mines is considerable, it is still very much less than that of either the Joplin or Webb City camps. The number of mines operated there at any one time has not exceeded one-half dozen.
