Notes

  1. The outline shown on the accompanying map shows the White Ash Mine contiguous to the White Ash Mine (mine index 150) and Carterville No. 6 Mine (mine index 323). The boundaries between these mines may be approximate; the area shown is approximately what would have been mined by the combined production of the three mines. In addition, a general area of mining designates an area that could have been mined.
  2. The Coal Section mine notes indicate that Lumaghi Brothers owned or operated Slogo Coal Company. The mine was also known under several names, such as Black Briar No. 1 Mine, White Ash Mine, and Goddard Mine.
  3. Reported abandoned in 1913, reopened in 1917; idle 1925
