Notes
- ↑ This outline includes Bryden No. 5 (mine index 2464). Production for Murphysboro-Big Muddy No. 1 Mine indicates approximately 87 acres were mined.
- ↑ The mine was known to have an old slope (1885-1893) and probably an air shaft. No company maps of this mine has been found, and the location of these features is not known.
