Notes

↑ The air shaft for Consolidated No. 10 was the main shaft for Consolidated No. 9 (mine index 2895, closed in 1891), and was also used as an air shaft for Consolidated No. 8 (mine index 0761). This point is shown as a main shaft on the accompanying map.
↑ Production and ownership prior to 1878 are unknown. The Coal Report of 1882 indicates 20 acres were mined. According to the History of Macoupin County, A. J. and C. J. Keiser, the owners of Mt. Olive Coal Company, sunk a shaft in 1877 that appears to correspond best to this mine.
