Geological Problems Reported
This mine encountered extensive faulting throughout. Faults trended predominantly northwest-southeast, but some subsidiary faulting trended perpendicular (northeast-southwest). The entire northern edge of the mine, as well as some areas in the southwestern part of the mine, encountered problems with bad top and water. Rolls were also reported in the southwestern portion of the mine.

Notes
- ↑ An area approximately 200 feet square was mined in the Herrin Coal along the main slope. Apparently the workings in the upper seam were not more fully developed, and this area was later surface-mined by the Delta Mine (index 702). Consequently, this mine is not shown on the accompanying map of the Herrin Coal.
