Geological Problems Reported

A faulted area was shown on the source map in the northern part of the mine. The faults may have been eroded coal or a contemporaneous channel, but resulted in the driving of a single entry to access the northern reserves. The shape of the mine outlines indicates another geologic problem in the southern third of the mine. The roof consisted of 9 inches of draw slate ovelain by 4 inches of black shale and 18 inches of gray shale. No horsebacks were found in this mine before 1918, which is rare in this area. A very few lenses of pyrite were encountered and none of those seen were continuous.
