Geological Problems Reported:[edit | edit source]

Some faults were present and the roof contained many slips. Roof conditions were generally bad. The mine was situated on the La Salle Anticline, and the extreme dip of the coal on the flanks of the anticline resulted in broken roof shale and hard, brittle coal. The gray shale roof contained numerous small pyrite nodules. The coal contained layers of pyrite lenses 8 inches and 16 inches from the floor. The long axis of the lenses was parallel to bedding. Some limestone boulders were reported in the coal seam in NE 30-T33N-R2E. These boulders ranged from 1 x 4 x 5 feet to 3 x 6 x 12 feet. The underclay floor was 12 to 15 feet thick and heaved badly. Sometimes the heaving completely closed an entry. The clay swelled at night whether the mine was wet or dry, and the road had to be graded each morning to allow loads to pass.
