Montour No. 1

Here are the maps for No. 1 Mine. Coal seam was between 950 and 930 MSL, dipping to the south. That's why Montour No.1 was the first shaft mine on the Montour. Ground elevation near Southview was around 1090, so the mine was probably 100 feet deep and followed the seam up-dip to the north. It abutted Primrose and Jumbo mines, which were drift entries.
