Notes

  1. The area shown on the accompanying map is smaller than expected for the reported production. The mine should be approximately 260 acres. The general area of mining on the western side of the mine (see the accompanying map) covers the oldest works that were not shown on the source maps.
  2. Idle 1907
  3. The mine was reported under the name H. Hindson, the district mine inspector, in 1931. The reported ownership of this mine appears to be an error. According to Martin Crane, Thomas Thompson was the owner of Manhattan Coal and Mining Company.
  4. Production after map date
