Production indicates less than 1 acre was mined. However, production was primarily from surface mining pillars from abandoned underground workings, and the size of the mine will be much larger. The pits are in the Johnston City Quadrangle to the north and are part of a larger surface-mined area that was mined by numerous small operations.
