Notes
- ↑ The mine’s location within the section is not known. By convention, a point was placed in the center of the section. However, the mine may have been later surface-mined by Middle Grove Mine (mine index 621), and may no longer exist.
- ↑ Idle 1929; production was not listed from 1930 to 1933 for mines producing less than 1,000 tons per year
- ↑ Idle 1936 and 1937
- ↑ The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized.
