Production Notes

A. H. Bell, 9-13-1927, for Taylor's coal mine, probably drift, 20" thick, @ 1f (ne se ne) 26-15n-13w and then the 2nd page is G. H. Cady, 1916, nw ne 25-13n-12w, Charles Taylor "near Exeter" -- but Exeter is 15n-12w, 28-30" thick. T13N is therefore incorrect from Cady's field note, and R13W is incorrect from Bell's field note. I used Bell's location of NE SE NE section 26, but the mine could be in the Winchester Quadrangle in NW NE section 25.
