Notes
- ↑ Production indicates approximately 4 acres were mined.
- ↑ The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized. The digitized location coincided with a general area of mining on the Federal Land Bank Report, which does not identify the mine owner.
