Notes

  1. Labeled on the source map as an air shaft, this shaft may have originally been used as the main shaft and later converted to an air shaft.
  2. The company name has been assumed based on other mining in the area and the source map. This mine appears to connect underground to Diamond No. 4 Mine (mine index 3556). The years have been assumed since no production for a mine with this name was reported.
  3. Original map is mounted on the wall of the Coal City Public Library, Coal City, Illinois.
