What the codes mean
The small print at the bottom of the The Dark card (#116).
Printed before collector numbers, which started with Exodus in 1998. The bottom shows only the artist credit ("Illus.") and the copyright. Set symbols were all black before Exodus, and core sets before Sixth Edition have none.

The storage counters aren't removed when you activate the mana ability.
October 1, 2009
You can activate City of Shadows's second ability while it has no storage counters on it, though it won't add any mana in this case. You did not tap it for mana, though, in case any abilities (such as the ability of a Fertile Ground enchanting it) care about that.
