Geological Problems Reported
The Coal Report of 1884 indicates the roof was difficult to hold up (page 576). The Coal Report of 1902 stated that “the pillars had been robbed to such an extent that a general squeeze was induced, resulting in a cave-in under a small creek”, allowing a large quantity of water into the mine. The mine was abandoned two years later, when the remaining coal was in an area of thinning bedrock and the unconsolidated sediments rested directly on the coal.
