↑ A general area of mining is shown on the accompanying map to indicate the approximate size, but although old works were labeled on the source map for the Ubben No. 1 Mine (mine index 3630), other mines may have operated in the vicinity (see the unlocated mines at the back of this report).
↑ The shaft location was shown on the 1873 plat map. Years of operation before 1873 are not known, and production is not known before June 1878. The 1882 Coal Report indicated 6 acres were mined.
