Notes
- ↑ No air shafts were shown in this portion of the Kelly mines complex. Interconnection with other Kelly mines underground probably provided air and escapeways to satisfy regulations of the times.
- ↑ The mine reported in 1879 & the mine reported in 1882 may be different mines; 1882 was reputedly a surface mine. Production in 1881 and prior to 1878 is unknown.
