Notes
- ↑ The mine notes indicated the source for the mine location was the Federal Land Bank Report for La Salle County. The mine probably operated 1930-1933, when mines producing less than 1,000 tons per year were not listed in the Coal Reports.
- ↑ The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized.
