Undated No dates are shown on this map, although the microfilm documentation suggests the map was submitted in 1923. The map is later than an earlier microfilm (document 351400) dated 7-1-1918. The mined area shown on the accompanying map is the approximate size expected for the reported production. This suggests that the mine outline is complete.
