| Sam Martin and Martin The source map from the Vermilion County Recorder’s Office was dated 1925 and the legend stated that Sam Martin was the lessee for Jumps Brothers (owners). This mine probably operated for at least some of the years between 1926 and 1935, but the name the mine operated under is unknown (and the Jumps Brothers listing is concurrent and not sequential to the Martin listing). See the unlocated mines at the back of this report. However, the source map for the Howard workings showed the old workings in a dotted line, indicating it was traced from an older map, and a new slope was constructed by Howard Coal Company, with the old air shaft utilized. It is also possible that the mine did not operate between 1925 and 1935.
