Geological Problems Reported
The roof was generally up to 4 feet of black Anna Shale topped by clod and limestone. Joints were common in the Anna Shale, and the shale broke along the joint surfaces and fell. In some places, the roof was nodular limestone that slabbed off in thicknesses of a foot or more along shaley partings and did not make a competent roof. Generally, the limestone was more solid in the eastern portion of the mine than in the western part. In some areas, the roof was gray shale, which sometimes contained concretions in the upper part of the seam. Pyrite was present in the coal along fracture faces, in thin bands, and mixed in the durain bands. Squeezing took place before 1974. In some areas, 2 feet of upheaval was noted, but a mine examiner reported that in some areas, the squeezing was all the way to the roof. This caused the pillars to crack.
