Geological Problems Reported
The mine had some gas. An explosion in 1923 killed one man. Top coal (15 to 24 inches) was generally left to protect the gray shale roof. The underclay showed a tendency to heave and squeeze, sometimes even before mining was completed.

| Old Ben Coal Corporation | Old Ben No. 9 | 1913-1968 Idle 1929-1943. One of the shafts was used for disposal of acid water after 1968. | 42,588,301 |
