Notes
- ↑ C. B. Laning operated a mine 1881-1882 near Petersburg. Although the location for that mine is not known, the depth was reported as 65 feet, indicating that production is near Petersburg. Laning bought the Greene & Deal Mine after it went into bankruptcy, but the years of operation are not known.
