Geological Problems Reported
One man was killed as the result of a 1911 gas explosion; a 1912 gas explosion killed 2 men. Little timbering was required in this mine. Faults having throws of up to 30 feet were found, with most of the displacement being vertical. At least one steep grade in the mine necessitated the purchase of a special slope hoist. The source map shows that the faults trended northwest-southeast, with subsidiary faults roughly perpendicular. These faults show clearly on the accompanying map in the interruption of the mining pattern. One 25 to 30-foot wide igneous dike was found to cut through the coal along the west section line (30- T8S-R7E). It did not displace the coal but did naturally coke the coal for about 40 feet. Some calcite and pyrite veins and nodules were found throughout the coal, but they were not persistent.
