Notes
- ↑ The shaft location is unknown. Mining for the I shaft appears to be connected underground to the D Mine (mine index 3920), which may have been re-named, or there may be a shaft between the D shaft and the northern boundary of mining.
- ↑ The southern boundary for this mine was not shown on this map and is shown on the accompanying map as incomplete.
