Notes
- ↑ Production and years of operation are unknown. The name comes from microfilm document 352969 (map of Jumps Brothers Mine, mine index 3654), where the slope is labeled “Old Blakeny mine”.
- ↑ Leased from Mack Jump and/or Jump Brothers. Operated by Larson & Byerly in 1942. The ISGS mine notes indicate this mine formerly reported as the Howard Hanley mine, so production formerly recorded under mine index 3656.
