Notes
- ↑ The ISGS mine-notes indicate there were three vertical shafts 110' deep and a sloping shaft. Locations for three of the four openings are unknown.
- ↑ Irregular section; When sections are irregular in size, the quarters remain the same size and are oriented (or “registered”) from the southeast corner of the section.
- ↑ Point plotted onto 1:24,000 USGS topographic map and digitized.
