Not Shown On Map. The 1993 production was only listed in the "mode of shipment" table. According to Dean Spindler, DNR, this was a carbon recovery company. As such, the 1993 production may have been from a slurry pond or a stockpile of coal fines. The 1994 production was listed in the "physical characteristics" table, but may have come from the same source or they may have mined from reserves left at the site. The mine name (Burning Star) most likely refers to mine index 0684, Truax Traer Coal Co.'s Burning Star No. 1 Mine.
