Notes
- ↑ Production indicates approximately 24 acres were mined. The size difference may be from poor source maps or the coal thickness may not have been as high as reported.
- ↑ Some portion of this tonnage was mined by Vinyard Coal Company from January to June of 1957. Liberty Coal Company operated the mine during June and July of 1957 and then ownership was transferred back to Vinyard Coal Company in August. The Coal Report did not split the 1957 production listed for Vinyard Coal Company, and it is all listed for the August-October time period.
