Seelyville The shaft was sunk 310 feet to the Seelyville Coal, but that seam was thin and was abandoned in the first year of operation. | 310 | 3.67 |
Geological Problems Reported
The mine was abandoned due to a large amount of water and sediment in the mine, the result of an excessively wet spring. No source map for this mining has been found. Since much less than an acre was mined, the maps that accompany this directory do not include a map of the Seelyville coal.
Production
Company | Mine Name | Date | Production (tons) |
Ellsworth Coal Company | Ellsworth No. 4 | 1872-1886 | 47,940 Production prior to 1884 unknown; 1882-4 production included in production for Ellsworth No. 1 (mine index 3691) |

Microfilm, document 352903 | 1888 | 1:6000 | 1:6000 | Not final The mined area shown on the accompanying map is the approximate size expected for the production reported. This suggests that the mine outline is complete. |
Microfilm, document 352943 | 5-7-1903 | 1:1200 | 1:2069 | Incomplete The mined area shown on the accompanying map is the approximate size expected for the production reported. This suggests that the mine outline is complete. |
