| Production Indicated Acres:

Production indicates that 3 to 4 acres were mined. The source map is poor and some difficulties with the map scale may have resulted with the polygon shown on the accompanying map being smaller than the predicted acreage. An earlier map also indicates that Kedas mined in other areas as well; the tonnage shown below may be from several locations.
