Treasureton Calcite Mine History and Expansion
The Treasureton calcite operation began after the Smith family mined manganese nearby. Howard Smith led calcite mining from 1927, moving processing to the mine and expanding to a tunnel system and ore cars. A 1952 accident killed Howard, and LeRoy and Willis Burton expanded the business with Ralston Purina as a major buyer. The 1960 expansion added a lime kiln, aiming to stockpile rock for winter use.
