Geological Problems Reported
Gas was present in the mine (four men were killed in a 1930 explosion, one man was asphyxiated in 1945). The roof was a light gray shale that was full of slips, but it was considered troublesome only in the eastern part of the mine. Rolls were present. One roll was 20 feet long. A great number of calcite facings were present in the seam. In addition, there was a considerable number of tiny pyrite veinlets throughout the seam. The source map showed an area of (unminable) split coal in 11-T6S-R1E. The underclay floor was 8 inches to 10 feet thick and heaved when wet.
