Geological Problems Reported

At least one roll was seen in this mine. The roof was clod, up to 1.5 inches thick, with black shale above. An unknown thickness of top coal was left to keep the roof shale up. The coal contained a few small slips, with maximum displacement of 6 inches. The underclay heaved in some places.
