Geological Problems Reported
The roof was usually gray shale and occasionally black shale and limestone. Generally 18 to 22 inches of top coal was left to support the roof and this was drawn on retreat. Where the underclay was thickest, squeezes were common.

Notes
- ↑ This mine was connected underground to Peabody No. 16 Mine (mine index 0166), and may have used this underground connection for ventilation and escapement.
- ↑ There may have been additional operators (see the unlocated mines at the back of this report), or the mine may have been idle in 1904.
