Geological Problems Reported
A company mine map noted that Six Mile Creek broke through a north-south entry in March 1923 and flooded the mine or a portion of the mine. The source map used for the mine outline on the accompanying map shows areas under the creek and the pond that were not mined because of the potential for water damage. The roof was gray shale. Top coal was left to support the roof.
