Geological Problems Reported
Crenshaw Coal Company attempted to open a No. 3 Mine, but after opening up a small pit, they closed down without mining. The coal was too weathered or otherwise unsuitable for mining. They considered going down to the Springfield seam, but the overburden was too thick for their equipment.
