Geological Problems Reported
Slips and rock rolls were common in the coal. The rock rolls were nodules or protrusions downward from the limestone roof. These were more common in the eastern side of the mine and decreased to the west. The western workings were very wet; one hypothesis suggested that the moisture seeped in through the slips. Some faults were present, with displacement up to 2 feet or more. In one place, the limestone cap rock was impure and a roof fall included the limestone. Concretions (some limey) were present in the southeastern part of the mine.
