[[Nelson and Son No mine of this name was listed in the annual Coal Reports and therefore production and years of operation are unknown. The survey dates on the mine map indicate the mine opened prior to July 1924. Nelson & Son were the lessee; the property owner was the McArdle Heirs. An unlocated mine at the back of this report was named McCardle & Sanavan, but the production (100 tons) is not nearly sufficient for a mine of this size, although the 1926 date accords well with the map date.]] (add)
