This is a report To the Stockholders: Mine La Motte Company from president A. J. Meier.  Dated 31 March 1916, the report presents in favorable terms the conditions and prospects of the company’s mining and other operations in Madison and Saint Francois counties in Missouri.

 

Mine La Motte was one of Missouri’s earliest and most successful mining sites.  The com­pany of this report assumed control of the tract in June 1914.  With land holdings of 37,614 acres in two counties, the company’s operations included not only mining (lead, iron ore, limestone, copper, nickel, cobalt, granite, clay, and silica), but also a railroad, tenant farms, sawmilling. and the Mine La Motte town site with over 300 houses.

 

This 16-page booklet includes an upbeat summary of operations by president A. J. Meier, a photographic “panorama view of one of our mines,” and a categorized section concerning condi­tions as found when the company assumed control in 1914, “present conditions,” and “proposed conditions” in the near future.
