Geological Problems Reported
The mine was greatly troubled with gob fires. According to the 1884 and 1885 Coal Reports, the mine also worked a shale seam, and that clay product was hoisted out of an air / escape shaft. The shale was used in a tile and paving brick production operation connected with Utt's coal mine. The extent of the shale mining is not known.
