Geological Problems Reported
Faults are shown on the source map throughout the mine. The faults trended southwest-northeast and northwest-southeast. In two areas, 5 feet of displacement was noted. In one area, an entry was driven through a faulted zone only to meet with more faulting beyond. Faulting appeared to halt advancement in most parts of the mine. “Bad top” prevented advances into the southeastern part of the mine, an area later very near the surface Delta Mine (mine index 702). An area was labeled ‘soft shale no lime’ on the source map in the western part of the mine, likely indicating bad roof conditions.
