Geological Problems Reported
Slips similar to horsebacks were common in this mine. The black shale above the coal was up to 10 feet thick over the thickest coal, and contained many concretions. Where the black shale was thick, rolls and other offsets were present in the coal, often with cracks up to 12 inches filled with gouge material. The underclay floor heaved a little in some places.
