Geological Problems Reported
The roof shale commonly contained concretions. The upper half of the coal seam contained some very large (10-800 pounds) pyrite balls or lenses, and small pyrite concretions occurred throughout the mine. A few clay veins and slips were present, but generally did not hinder mining. The floor clay heaved to some extent, generally after a long period of exposure.
