The Tri-State district of Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma was one of the foremost mining areas of the world, producing 50 percent of the zinc and 10 percent of the lead consumed in the United States from 1850 through 1950. The major ore minerals mined were sphalerite (zinc sulfide) and galena (lead sulfide).
