Geological Problems Reported
The roof consisted of 1 to 8 inches of clod that comes down with the coal or up to 4 feet of black shale, which was full of slips and "practically impossible to hold". The black shale was not a serious mining problem, because the condition was understood and they did not try to hold it up.
