Geology
Geological Problems Reported
The roof was a gray shale that required about a foot of top coal left to support it. The source map traced from the Vermilion County Recorder’s Office indicates several areas of the mine were filled with water and had to be sealed from the active portions of the mine.

Notes
- ↑ ISGS records indicate M. & B. is an abbreviation for Mauck & Bock Coal Company. Other owners were Louis Bock in 1938, Roy Smith (also in 1938), and C. L. Foster in November 1939 (no production under this owner). The mine was leased in 1939 by a Mr. Gaston, but the mine was idle (due to a foot of water in the works) from February to June 1939.
