Notes
- ↑ Production is unknown. The mine operated during a period when the Coal Reports did not list mines producing less than 1,000 tons per year. The mine primarily produced clay from the 10 to 15 feet seam of underclay beneath the coal (50,000 tons of crude clay each year), and the coal over the clay was sold, according to the field notes.
