Notes
- ↑ This mine may have also mined the Colchester Coal seam, but no maps have been found.
- ↑ At least some pillars were extracted. Fatalities while removing pillars occurred in 1891 and 1892.
- ↑ The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized.
