Notes
- ↑ Because the operating company is not known, coal production could not be tracked. The years of operation are from the survey dates on the source map. The 1920 plat showed the ownership of this parcel of land to be Effie Bradley. Production is known for Clauda Bradley (1922-1923, listed in the unlocated mines at the back of this directory), which may or may not go with this mine location.
