    Information Sheet R Cullimore family. 1090 Collection, 1973-1992. Four folders. This collection is available at The State Historical Society of Missouri. If you would like more information, please contact us at [email protected]. These are papers of the Cullimore family of journalists and outdoor writers. The collection consists of correspondence between Donald B. “Rocky” Cullimore and Dan Saults, and a compi- lation of Saults’s articles in Branson and Springfield, Missouri, newspapers. This collection represents the first installment of what will be a much larger assemblage of Cullimore family papers. It centers on conservationist and author Dan Saults, a close friend of the Cullimore family, and supplements materials in the Saults collection (WHMC-Rolla R403). Saults was a leader in promoting conservation efforts in Missouri. A native of Knob Noster, Mis- souri, he bought the Knob Noster Weekly Gem after graduating from the University of Missouri School of Journalism. He operated the paper until World War Two. Saults served as an officer in the 339th Infantry Regiment in North Africa and Italy during the war, after which he spent a year in Texas. In 1947, Saults joined the Missouri Department of Conservation, heading the depart- ment’s information service and editing the Missouri Conservationist. Later he became the deputy director of the department. In 1964, Saults joined the U. S. Department of the Interior and moved to Washington, D.C., where he worked with the Bureau of Land Management and the Fish and Wildlife Service. He retired in 1973. Saults and his wife, Helen, a former National Park Service employee, moved to a home near Branson, Missouri.

  • Big Spring and Recharge Area and the Possibility of Lead Mining
    Big Spring and Recharge Area and the Possibility of Lead Mining BY QUINTA SCOTT 34 | The Confluence | Spring/Summer 2017 Big Spring boils up beneath caves, old outlets in a wall of Eminence Dolomite. It delivers 286,000,000 gallons of water a day to a short spring branch, which carries it east to the Current River. However, Big Spring draws its water from the Eleven Point River watershed to the west in Shannon, Oregon, and Carter counties, Missouri. Its recharge area fans out to the eastern edge of Howell County near Fanton, close to 39.5 miles away. Within the watershed Hurricane Creek, a losing stream and tributary to the Eleven Point, contributes all its water to Big Spring in eight losing sections.1 In 1983 USX, formerly U.S. Steel Corp., and Amax Exploration, Inc., applied to the U.S. Forest Service for an exploratory permit to drill for lead in the Hurricane Creek watershed. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, the application ended up in the hands of the Doe Run Corporation. It raised several issues. Geologists with the U.S. Geological Survey and its Missouri counterpart realized they had no idea how lead mining would affect a watershed in a karst landscape. They lacked the basic knowledge of the Hurricane Creek landscape beyond Thomas J. Aley’s 1975 study. Their available geological maps dated back to 1930, when Josiah Bridge completed his study of the Geology of the Eminence and Cardareva Quadrangles. Over the next 15 years, geologists brought Bridge’s maps up to date.
