Geological Problems Reported
(Springfield Coal): The limestone cap rock ranged from 4 to 12 inches thick, and was 2 to 3 feet above the coal. The interval between the coal and the cap rock was 2 to 3 feet of clod and black shale. The cap rock had cracks, and after it had been exposed for a while, it was “almost impossible” to keep up the limestone where it had cracked. Horsebacks were not very common but caused considerable waste where they were present. Pyrite nodules up to 3 inches thick and 8 inches across were noted. The most important impurity was masses of silica-rich boulders that came up from the floor, some rising up to 3 feet above the floor
