Notes
- ↑ A photograph taken circa 1915 shows an active mine, and states the owner is John Meyer. The Coal Reports do not list production under that name in 1915. The operating name may have differed, or the date of the photograph may have been incorrect.
- ↑ The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized.
