Notes
- ↑ Production indicates approximately 1acre was mined, but the mined area is most likely larger because 12 years of possible mining before the production history was reported.
- ↑ The point was placed in the center of the southwest quarter of section 19, but this mine may be located anywhere within the southwest part of section 19
- ↑ Idle 1886. This mine was noted in an 1873 report, and probably opened at least a year before the reports publication. Production before 1884 is not known.
- ↑ The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized.
