Geological Problems Reported

Some problems were designated on source map, areas labeled "squeeze" and "caved", mostly in the southeastern part of the mine. The source map for the older part of the mine shows the western area was abandoned due to bad top. (There is a stream shown on the topographic map, and the bedrock was probably thin here.)
