Geology
Geological Problems Reported
The source map depicts a faulted area that apparently necessitated separate slopes and air shafts for different areas of the mine.

Notes
- ↑ Production after map date
- ↑ This date is unreliable. Another map with the same date exists and shows considerably less mining. It appears that the mine workings were surveyed and extended without changing the map date. In addition, two small mines are shown on the source map. The southern mine was abandoned 12-15-1936, but appears to be part of this ownership. Faulting halted expansion and it appears that the operators moved north of the faulted zone to access their reserves.
