Baxter Springs Heritage Center and Museum
I'm
often asked if it is true that you can (or could) drive from
the central mill to Joplin underground.
I don't know for sure, but common sense and mining maps
indicate that it was probably true.
The ore vein did not stop at the property lines and the
miners didn't either.
Most mines are interconnected as shown on many maps, so why
wouldn't it be open from
Commerce to Carthage?
