Is an old working under a property here?

The mine records hold 2 mine sites inside the city or town limits: 1 site producing when the record was made, 1 processing plant, which is not a working; the old survey maps add 5 holes drawn inside the city or town limits, 0 of them shafts or tunnels.

A point in either file is a location, not a property line: the sheet shows the opening on the surface, not the rooms under it. The record that shows what runs under a parcel is the mine map. The OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds scanned underground mine maps and answers requests for a named mine or an area. The Geological Survey of Alabama coal page is a script application that gives this box no readable text, so it is not listed.
