Notes
- ↑ Production also indicates this mine should encompass approximately 300 acres; the area shown on the accompanying map is too small for the reported production. It is likely that part of the outline shown on the accompanying map for Saline County No. 2 (mine index 450) should be included with this mine.
- ↑ This mine appears to share an air shaft with O’Gara No. 14 Mine (mine index 128).
- ↑ Production after map date
- ↑ This map source was difficult to georegister, since the east-west scale differed from the north-south scale by 800 to 1,000 feet, and did not match other features that were on both the USGS topographic map and source map (railroads, houses). When the north-south scale was used, the topographic features matched reasonably well, but the surrounding mines shown on the source map did not match well. The mine was shifted approximately 250 feet to make a “best fit” between the mines on either side.
