Notes

  1. No air shaft was shown on the source map for the mine. The underground workings are connected to Peabody No. 52 Mine (mine index 36) in SE SW 3-T16N-R4W, which may have compensated for the lack of an escape shaft in the workings, but it is likely another air shaft exists.
  2. Idle 1912
