Shaft (1875)The earliest known location for this mine was a shaft shown on the 1875 Atlas of Macoupin County. This shaft was referred to as the main shaft on the Sanborn-Perris Map Company fire insurance map in 1886. In 1900 and 1906 this shaft was referred to as an escapement shaft. The 1893, 1900 and 1906 Sanborn-Perris maps referred to the shaft in the NE SW NW as the shaft for this mine. Sometime between 1886 and 1893 the second shaft must have been constructed and the original 1875 shaft became the escapement shaft for this mine.
