Mine Notes
Mine Images
- ↑ The mine is smaller than expected for the reported production. Production indicates approximately 200 acres were mined.
- ↑ Production and years of operation before 1882 are not known. The 1882 Coal Report indicates 13 acres were mined.
- ↑ The mine outline was dated 1898, and would be a “not final” boundary.
