Notes
- ↑ A new shaft opened in 1937, using an old shaft that was 75 to 100 yards west as an air shaft. The locationdescription and timing supports the usage of Tallman No. 2 Mine for an air shaft by a later mine.
- ↑ In 1931 and 1932, production was reported under Tallman No. 1 Mine (mine index 3469).
- ↑ The shaft location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the shaft location description and digitized.
