Notes
- ↑ Field notes written in 1931 indicate the mine was active before reported production. Production was not reported for mines producing less than 1,000 tons per year from 1930 to 1933.
- ↑ The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized.
