Geological Problems Reported
In the west and southwest part of the mine, the streams on the surface eroded down to the coal and sometimes into the coal itself. In this area, the mine was shallow and as soon as the coal was mined, the roof came down, filling the entries with the yellow sand and plastic clay deposited by the stream. The roof in the other areas of the mine was a light gray shale that slaked off readily; top coal was left to help support the roof. The source map noted rolls in the northwestern part of the mine. The floor clay became soft when wet, but did not tend to heave.

Caption: Surface breaks in a field near Carterville, 300 yards SW of Hafer Washed Coal Co. The shaft is 120 feet deep and a 7 foot bed of coal is being mined. The roof is slate and the overburden is clay; no quicksand has been noted. The breaks are about 20 feet in diameter and from a few feet to as much as 20 feet deep.
