Geological Problems Reported
Clay veins, slips and rolls occur in this mine. The black shale roof contains coal balls and slips. The slips extend up into the limestone above the shale. The displacement is generally 5 or 6 inches, but the roof is bad in the vicinity of slips and comes down in massive blocks. Gas is also present in the slips, and water seeps in from the slips. The floor clay heaves badly when wet. In one case where the pillar was slightly robbed and the clay was wet, the floor heaved 3 feet.
