Notes

  1. The 1927 field note indicated the mine opened in 1926, but the Coal Reports did not list any Yocums opening that year. The mine may have been leased and listed in the Coal Reports under the owners name, or under a company name that differed from the operator’s name. Production and years of operation are not known.
