Notes
- ↑ The 1885 Coal Report (p. 69) stated that an air & escape shaft was constructed for Ellsworth No. 4 Mine (mine index 3694) that also served to ventilate portions of Ellsworth No. 2 Mine, which was connected underground. These portions are shown in the SW SW of section 17, T19N-R11W and E ½ SE section 18, T19N-R11W.
- ↑ The 1885 Coal Report listed a death that occurred while drawing pillars. The extent of this practice throughout the mine is not known.
- ↑ Production prior to 1882 is unknown. 1883 & 1884 production included in production reported for Ellsworth No. 1 (mine index 3691)
- ↑ Production after map date; however, the map shows only a small part of the mine.
