Notes

  1. * Not shown on accompanying map due to later surface mining. Pulley No. 1 Mine was abandoned 8-1-1937. When the mine was re-opened, a new slope was constructed that entered an old room in the south part of the mine. The source maps for the No. 2 Mine do not show an air shaft, so the old slope may have been used for ventilation.
