This includes area for Grape Creek No. 3 Mine (mine index 3750) since the boundary between the mines could not be distinguished. 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 mines. The total area shown for these Grape Creek mines is in line with the production of all the Grape Creek mines. |

Geological Problems Reported
An explosion of fire-damp accumulated from a fault killed one man in 1884. The accumulation was not typical, but occurred after the fans had been shut down after the Saturday shift was over, and no other accidents occurred after changing the ventilation procedure (leaving fans running).
