Mine Index Number: 0150
Company Name: | Johnston City Washed Coal Company | ||
---|---|---|---|
Mine Name: | White Ash Mine | ||
Start Date: | 1916 | End Date: | June 1924 |
Type of Mine: | Underground | ||
Total acres shown: | 377 The outline shown on the accompanying map shows the White Ash Mine contiguous to the Slogo Mine (mine index 151) and Carterville No. 6 Mine (mine index 323). The boundaries between these mines may be approximate; the area shown is approximately what would have been mined by the combined production of the three mines. In addition, a general area of mining designates an area that could have been mined. | ||

Geological Problems Reported
A normal fault with 15 feet of displacement (downthrown side to the northwest) was encountered 1500 feet east of the shaft bottom. A fault was found in the northeastern part of the mine and this fault allowed water to enter the mine. In some places the roof was limestone, which made for easy mining, but in other areas, the roof was “draw slate”, a gray shale that tended to come down. The top coal was usually left to support the roof. In some areas the roof was black shale that contained concretions. Rolls were present. Pyrite and calcite stringers were present throughout the coal. The floor heaved badly when wet.
