The mine was not new in 1918, and is larger than shown on the accompanying map. The Coal Report listed improvements, including a new electric hoist, improved air course to the south entries, improved air course to the west entries, new timbering for the shaft and main entries. This indicates a rather extensive mine in 1918. The unlocated mines in Tazewell County include more than one possibility as precursors to Liberty Mine, such as Gustav Giebelhausen or Eastern Coal Company.
