Geological Problems Reported
Several faults were noted on the source map. Two trended northwest-southeast and one trended northeast-southwest. A 1925 explosion killed two miners in an entry where ventilation had failed. The roof was a massive gray sandy shale, cut by vertical joints. When exposed by mining, the roof tended to fall in thick layers. Top coal (16 to 24 inches) was left to support the roof, but this top coal was mined on retreat. A death occurred in 1910 as a result of pillars being pulled. Local hollows in the floor and rolls in the roof were present.
