This is a listing of all names on the February 1-15, 1907 payroll for George's Creek Coal and Iron Company. Each name has an occupation next to it. To see the tons a miner dug, the deductions for rent, the smith and the doctor, go to the individual miner's record, using the search feature.

Some names are repeated. All of the names are included as they may represent different individuals or show payments received by one individual for different tasks, for example mining and providing ties or props. In addition, since this was a snowy February, a large number of the men also received payment for shovelling snow, either by the hour or by the day.
