Notes

  1. ↑ The area mined in the Danville Coal is unknown. No map was found of workings in the Danville Coal, and the years of operation in that seam are uncertain. The Coal Reports indicate the earliest mining took place in the Danville Coal (1882 to 1885), and the mining from 1933 to 1936 was in the upper seam.
  2. ↑ The main hoist shaft was sunk in 1894 and the original hoist shaft was then used for ventilation and escapement. The air shaft was also used to hoist coal from the Danville Coal from 1933 to 1936.
