Mine Notes
Mine Images
- ↑ Most of the mine is not shown on the accompanying map because of later surface mining by Burning Star No. 5 Mine (mine index 967).
- ↑ No air shaft was shown on the source map. However, the mine workings holed into Little Muddy No. 1 Mine (mine index 2486), and their air shaft was shown on the source map for Peacock Mine.
