Notes

  1. production indicates less than 2 acres were mined.
  2. This mine is not shown on the accompanying map because of later surface mining by Captain Mine (mine index 0873)
  3. Production was not reported for mines producing less than 10,000 tons in 1922.
  4. Production was not reported in 1930 & 1931 for mines producing less than 1,000 tons per year
  5. The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized. A microfilm map exists, but the map can not be registered to land surface features, and is unusable. However, the map date (7-19-1926) enables the linking of mine production to the location.
