Notes

  1. Not shown on accompanying map
  2. Production was not reported in 1930 and 1931 for mines producing less than 1,000 tons per year.
  3. A microfilm map exists (document 352290, reel 03138, frame 361), but the map could not be georegistered to the land surface and was not usable. That map was not final, extended to mining as of February 6, 1935.
