Geological Problems Reported
The northern part of the mine had northwest trending faults of the Cottage Grove Fault System and north-northwest-trending high-angle normal faults of the White Ash Fault Zone in the western part of the mine. The roof was a massive gray shale over the entire mine, ranging from 2 inches to over 10 feet. In the eastern part of the mine, it ranged from 2 to 36 inches and came down readily. Where possible, 1 to 2 feet of coal were left to support the roof. The upper surface of the coal was very irregular. There were many slips in the roof, which allowed much water to come into the mine. Some slips and rolls were present in the coal. Slips also necessitated timbering. One roll came down into the coal 2 feet and was 50 feet long. The coal remained full thickness. Pyrite lenses and stringers, and calcite and gypsum fracture fillings were present in the coal. The floor was 2 inches to 4 feet of hard brittle dark gray shale. Where this clay shale was thick and the rooms were cut too wide, the floor tended to heave if it became wet, or else the roof came down.
