Geological Problems Reported

The shale roof, which ranged from black laminated shale to massive light gray shale, required heavy timbering. The immediate roof was a massive black shale that was 3 inches to 5 feet thick. Above this shale was a limestone that ranged from 2 to 10 inches thick. Above this limestone was a soft, crumbly greenish-gray shale with little evidence of bedding, which was generally 3 feet thick. Above this was another limestone, which formed an excellent roof over part of the mine. In other places, 12 to 18 inches of coal was left to hold the roof, but where the coal was full of slips, most of the material up to the second limestone came down. The coal seam contained shale and charcoal in bands and lenses, rolls, pyrite bands and lenses, calcite and gypsum fracture fillings, and many small slips. The underclay floor ranged from 2 inches to 5 feet (or more) thick, and heaved very badly in abandoned rooms. There were many squeezes where rooms were driven wide under limestone top. One squeeze came up 4 feet in about 8 hours.
