Geological Problems Reported
A large fault with a displacement of 21 feet was encountered in the eastern part of the mine. A dike was encountered in the mine, but its location was not shown on the source map. The coal was very hilly, with grades of 4% very common and slopes in all directions. The hills caused many accidents, with at least 5 drivers killed in the mine on account of the steep grades. The coal contained pyrite lenses. Calcite and gypsum were present along cleats.
