Geological Problems Reported

The roof was a fine gray sandy shale. Coal stringers made the roof treacherous. Northeast-southwest trending faults were common. Rolls were common enough to be considered as having a “very important” effect on mining. The source map show a large area designated “not workable” southwest of the shaft.
