Geological Problems Reported
The source maps show three faults that trend northwest-southeast. These faults are in the western half of Section 16, T8S-R2E and the eastern half of Section 17, T8S-R2E and NW NE 21-T8S-R2E. In some cases, the faults interfered with mining and some reserves were left. In others, the fault was approached on both sides and most of the coal removed. Offsets were not shown on the map.

Notes
- ↑ Shared with mine index 454, the New Monarch Mine, another Consolidated Coal Company of St. Louis mine.
- ↑ Some HER, mostly in southern part of section 16-T8S-R2E, from 8-19-1946 to 1-17-1947.
- ↑ The mined area shown on the accompanying map is the approximate size expected for the production reported. This suggests that the mine outline is complete. Most of the mining after the map date was in the Springfield Coal or removing pillars in the Herrin Coal.
