Geological Problems Reported
Some small faults were observed in the mine. The roof was draw slate and white top ranging from 4 inches to 6 feet thick. Some roof falls extended upward over 18 feet, showing only the white top. In limited areas, a bastard rock made another poor roof, sometimes 7 to 8 feet thick. The mine was very dry, but the fire clay floor heaved after the coal was removed.
