Geological Problems Reported
The roof was 1 to 4 feet of draw slate. The chief impurity in the coal came from the numerous horsebacks in the upper part of the seam. A few pyrite concretions and nodules were noticed. The source maps show a sandstone channel in the southwest corner of the mine, faults in the eastern and northwestern areas, and “faulty sand rock” in the eastern part of the mine. Some of the areas labeled “faulty” may be erosional sandstone channels rather than geologic faults.
