Geological Problems Reported
The roof was 15 to 20 feet of light and dark gray shale. Numerous pyrite lenses and nodules were present, at and above the blue band. This pyrite was easily separated from the coal. A good deal of calcite was found in facings, particularly in the upper part of the seam, and also in horizontal sheets. This raised the ash content of the coal. The mine was connected underground to the Sunlight No. 7 Mine (mine index 2339).
