Geological Problems Reported
An explosion of fire damp killed two men in 1906, and a gas explosion killed eight men in 1909. One large slip in the roof caused a roof fall of coal and shale that killed a miner in 1909. The mine map showed areas in Sections 12 and 13 of T8S-R2E that had bad top, bad conditions, and dirty coal. The shale did not make a good roof so that 18 to 24 inches (average 18 inches) of top coal was left to support the roof. The coal contained some pyrite streaks. Some water problems were noted, and said to come from the surface rather than seeping into the mine through the roof. The underclay floor was 2 to 5 feet thick. Some squeezes resulted in surface subsidence.
