Notes
- ↑ No production was listed under this name in the Coal Reports from 1929 to 1932. However, the mine may not have been idle. Gaines Henderson, of Henderson & Kerrick, operators of the East Peoria Coal Company, was killed by falling coal in August 1932. Mines producing less than 1,000 tons per year were not reported 1930-1934, and this mine was probably one of those small producers in 1932.
- ↑ The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized.
