- ↑ includes the area for Ajax Mine (mine index 2441). Ajax Mine is the southern portion and R. & N. No. 2 Mine is the northern portion. The outline shown on the accompanying map is larger than expected for the reported production. Production indicates approximately 26 acres were mined. Ajax and R. & N. No. 2 may have enlarged an earlier surface mine, or the area shown as mined may include disturbed, but not mined, land.
