| Dennis DeBruler commented on Andy's post This map shows that the eastern shaft was south of IL-351. https://wikiimage.isgs.illinois.edu/ilmines/webfiles/topo-mines/lasalle.pdf. p2 |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Andy's post But I think it was north of the road because that is the location of the tailings pile and the CB&Q spur. Production ended in 1930, and they evidently removed their buildings by this 1939 aerial photo. https://clearinghouse.isgs.illinois.edu/webdocs/ilhap/county/data/lasalle/flight11/0bwy03035.jpg |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Andy's post The .pdf file indicates that shafts #238 and #237 were escape routes for shaft #3. |

Roger Kujawa posted three photos with the comment: "1911 from Peru, Illinois coal mine, shafts and coal crusher."
[Actually, this mine was on the other side (south side) of the Illinois River.]
