Notes
- ↑ Later used as air shaft for Standard No. 1 Mine (mine index 0187).
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ Production prior to 1878 is unknown. Production July 1879 to June 1881 is unknown.
- ↑ No production, operation ceased due to lack of an escapement shaft
