Notes
- ↑ No production was listed under the name Dorthel No. 4. It is likely that the production was combined with Dorthel No. 2 Mine (mine index 111) or Dorthel No. 3 Mine (mine index 2248). The acres mined (98) is in line with the reported production, and it seems likely that production as Dorthel No. 4 was low.
