Geological Problems Reported
Pyritic nodules and lenses appeared throughout the seam. The lenses averaged 1 foot long and less than 6 inches thick, but one lense was 3 feet long. The maximum dimension was 3 feet thick and 20 feet long. Clay dikes were noted in the pit. The mine was closed because the coal from the mine did not meet the contract specifications, and the coal from another mine was used to fulfill the contract.
