RemarksMine map [1] shows: 4 air shafts, 1 connecting with drain; 1 drift (drain) opening; several areas

marked "old workings," extent unknown; 1 area marked "fallen old workings."Evidently this was a

large mine. A lot of coal mined to the east and north especially. Slope with engine which pulled

the cars out was west of the road. The slope must of practically gone in on ravine. East of the

opening up the creek is an old air the coal for there is Sharon in the shaft now filled with dirt and

branches. Slope filled with dirt [5].
