Notes
- ↑ ISGS field notes written by J. A. Udden indicate that the Dog Town Mine operated by Docherty Brothers (mine index 2995) on 7-24-1911 worked at the shaft location shown for Boden Mine (SW SE SW 26-T15N-R2W). It is likely that the 35-T15N-R2W location was not the site for all of the production from 1878 to 1920.
