Geological Problems Reported
A 1924 gas explosion killed 33 men. The source map shows a fault in the northeastern part of the mine. Many unmined areas may indicate faulting or other geologic problems. The roof was a soft gray shale that required timbering. Top coal was left to support the roof, but it was soft and often fell. Numerous “charcoal” (fusain) lenses were present throughout the coal, as well as pyrite stringers and lenses. Slips were also present throughout the coal. The source map shows two areas where squeezes apparently limited mining, both in the center of the southernmost portion of the mine (SE SE 19-T8S-R3E).
