Notes
- ↑ The location is from mine notes attached to Crown No. 2 Mine (mine index 3543), indicating that a map was seen in the Belleville courthouse (G. H. Cady, 11-9-1937). This is presumably the source of the mine outline, which is more detailed than the WPA or Federal Land Bank Report mine compilations.
