    The original opening was a drift driven west on the North Dip Mammoth Vein by Buckley, Moody & Company in 1857.
    In 1862, the company had driven 1,300 feet of gangway, when it was succeeded by John Jones & Company, which operated until 1864. On March 16, 1864, the Preston Coal Company was chartered.
