- ↑ includes the area for R. & N. No. 2 Mine (mine index 2439). The northern part of the pit is R. & N. No. 2 Mine and the southern portion of the pit is Ajax Mine. 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.
