Notes

  1. ↑ The reported production accounts for only 5 of the 25 acres shown on the accompanying map. Mining occurred under a previous owner who is unknown (see Mines Whose Locations Are Not Known, mines near Rentchler). The 1874 Atlas of St. Clair County showed a mine at this location, indicating that mining may have occurred 13 years prior to this recorded history.
