Notes

  1. 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.
  2. The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized.
