Notes
- ↑ A shaft is not shown on the source map, but the shape of the workings shown indicate a shaft was likely present.
- ↑ The map was not coded as Secondary source because the Murphy, Linsky and Kasher source map for mine index 0215 was presumed to have come from the common ownership of Diamond Coal Company and Brady Coal Company(previous owners of Murphy, Linsky and Kasher Coal Company).
