Geological Problems Reported
The mine notes described the roof as “dangerous”, with interbedded coal and clay directly above the seam. This interbedding did not adhere to the sandy gray shale above the coal and the roof tended to come down easily.

- ↑ The air shaft is presumed to be near the hoist shaft, but was not shown on the source map. No air shafts were shown on the source map, but the 1899 Coal Report listed the completion of an escape shaft and the dimensions.
