The Grape Creek mines (No.s 1 through 5, mine index numbers 3756, 3755, 3750, 3745 and 3719) reported production at various times under only one or two mine names. The total area shown for these Grape Creek mines is in line with the production of all the Grape Creek mines. This shaft location was later stripped out by mine index 6770. |
