Notes
- ↑ The area shown (before later surface mining) is too small for the reported production. Production indicates the area mined before the map date should be approximately 17 acres. The area near the mine outline (general area of mining shade on the accompanying map) may have been mined by Phillips.
- ↑ Idle 1903-1905
- ↑ Production not reported in 1922 for mines producing less than 10,000 tons.
- ↑ Production after map date
