Notes
- ↑ This mine is shown within the boundary of Chicago, Wilmington & Vermilion Coal Company’s F Mine (mine index 3922). This outline may represent two different mines, but the source map used for the F Mine was a generalized secondary map made 30 years after this mine closed and over 50 years after the F Mine closed.
- ↑ This mine was located based on the location of a mine dump on the topographic map and a note in the Coal Reports that said this mine was located ¼ mile north of Murphy, Keenan & Company No. 2 Mine (mine index 3921).
- ↑ Murphy, Linskey and Kasher operated four mines referred to as The Shamrocks. This mine is likely one of the “Shamrocks”, as the mine number and years of production fit the sequence of Murphy, Linskey and Kasher mines.
