Geological Problems Reported
Rooms in the eastern part of the mine are labeled “all fell and full of water” on the source map. This indicates that the roof conditions were very poor, probably because it was the shallowest part of the mine.

Notes
- ↑ Later referred to as Old Burr Mine.
- ↑ May have been referred to as Burr A Mine.
- ↑ The map is a portion of an original A Mine map used as a base map for McCutcheon-Templeton Mine (mine index 3986), whose production was only from pulling pillars of the A Mine. The map may be final for this part of the mine, but is coded “not final” because the portion with the survey date and title block for the A Mine was removed.
