Geological Problems Reported
The roof was a very good black shale and required no top coal to hold it up. The coal from this mine was of a superior quality, even compared to the Peabody No. 9 Mine (mine index 219) nearby. The visible impurities were in the form of pyrite bands in the middle band of the seam and were few and easily removed, which was not the case with the visible impurities of the coal from the Peabody No. 9 Mine coal.

Notes
- ↑ Although the Coal Report indicates that Springfield No. 6 Mine (mine index 731) had a name change to Springfield District No. 8, the reserves were combined with the recently closed Taylorville Mine, and the coal was hoisted from this shaft. The production from the No. 8 Mine is assigned to this index number by the ISGS convention of shafts retaining the same index number.
