Notes
- ↑ Production indicates approximately 223 acres were mined. Boundaries between separate mines could not be distinguished. The area shown includes Chicago, Wilmington & Vermilion Coal Company’s B Mine (mine index 3919), H Mine (mine index 3923), G Mine (mine index 3926), E Mine (mine index 3929) and C Mine (mine index 3931).
- ↑ Production and years of operation before July 1881 are unknown. The 1883 Coal Report indicated 500 acres had been mined by the G, H & I Mines. The production shown includes the H Mine (mine index 3923) for 1881-1883 and 1885-1886 and the I Mine (see the unlocated mines at the back of this report) for 1881-1883. The 1873 Atlas of Will County shows the shaft for this mine, indicating that mining was taking place in the early 1870s.
