Mine Images
- ↑ Production indicates approximately 1 acre was mined after the map date. This mine is not shown on the accompanying map because of later surface mining by Burning Star Surface Mine (mine index 684).
- ↑ This mine may have operated in 1930, but production was not reported 1930-1933 for mines producing less than 1,000 tons per year. The mine may have been idle 1927-1929 or may have operated under another name (see the unlocated mines at the back of this report).
- ↑ Production after map date.
