Geological Problems Reported
The mine was said to have two faults, one to the north and one to the south. The description indicated that the features were more likely to be channel remnants than true faults, as the workings ran into sand, gravel, and clay. The cap rock was 4 to 10 inches of limestone, with 18 inches of black shale below. A few horsebacks were noted in the mine. The amount of pyrite in the coal was small, and was present as nodules and lenses.
