Geological Problems Reported
Gas may have been a problem at this mine; an explosion killed one man. Top coal was left to protect the shale roof and recovered on retreat. Pillars were sometimes drawn on retreat also. Some steep grades were present due to swags in the seam. Only a few pyrite facings were found, along with a “noticeable” amount of calcite facings. The company map showed numerous northwest-southeast trending faults in the southern part of the mine. These faults had throws ranging from 2 to 8 feet.
