Geological Problems Reported
Pockets of gas were occasionally found in the coal. The roof consisted of 3 inches of clod over bone coal, with 48 to 75 feet of gray-blue shale. The top 24 inches of coal was bone coal, which was left up to form the roof of the mine. The coal contained numerous large and small clay veins, one of which measured 12 feet by 4 feet. Pyrite bands from 1/8 inch to ½ inch thick were noted.
