Geology[edit | edit source]

Geological Problems Reported:[edit | edit source]

The immediate roof was commonly 2 to 3 feet of black shale under limestone. A limey shale "rock" was locally present between the black shale and the coal. The "rock" was 1.5 to 2 feet thick and 25 to 100 feet across, and contained concretions of lime carbonate. The coal thinned under these wedges, the thinning about the same as the thickness of the wedge. The "rock" wedges were the major problem in the mine, with good roof otherwise and a uniform coal seam. Pyrite was present in lenses and in some vertical fractures (not persistent or numerous), and not easily removed from the coal at the face. A ½ inch thick clay band was common about 3 feet below the top of the coal. The blue band was 1 to 2 inches thick, and usually 4 inches above the bottom of the seam. The mine was generally dry, but the oldest entries were entirely closed off due to heaving. The bench of coal under the blue band was not mined in some parts of the mine, perhaps to keep the heaving to a minimum. The mine was closed due to a serious cave-in at the shaft. This was the oldest operating mine through modern times.
