Notes
- ↑ The location and mine name are from the mine notes, which also stated that the mine was “not yet operating” in June 1918. The Coal Reports never listed a company of this name, and no unlocated mines (see the back of this report) began production in 1919, 1920 or 1921. The mine may have never operated.
- ↑ The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized.
