Notes

  1. Surface mining took place the first two years (1914-1916), then, as depth increased, a drift entry was made off the highwall.
  2. Production less than 10,000 tons was not reported in 1922.
  3. The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized.
