| Air shaft An ISGS field note indicates a Nesbit shaft in this vicinity. An unlocated mine in the back of this report operated 1924-1926, while the field note was dated 1922-1924 (uncertain date of field work). This Nesbit shaft has not been given an index number, because it seems possible but unlikely that re-mining of the Bryden mines (last operated 1893) could have taken place. The location is vague enough to be offset by up to 300 feet in any direction, or possibly more.

1889-1891 Usually mines that have overlapping years of production are given separate index numbers. However, in this case, production was simultaneous from (apparently) one underground mine with many openings.
