Notes
- ↑ These two shafts were shown on the Federal Land Bank report map. The 1885 Coal Report indicates that an escapement shaft had been sunk, and a second hoist shaft was being sunk. The uncertain location points shown on the accompanying map may indicate the location of the escapement and second hoist shafts for this mine.
- ↑ Production before 1878 is not known.
- ↑ The location was plotted on the 1:24000 USGS topographic with reference to the streets (Broad and Elm) shown on the Sanborn Insurance Company’s maps.
