Geological Problems Reported

Several roof falls are labeled on the source map in all parts of the mine. This suggests poor roof conditions that are probably related to the mine’s proximity to the surface, as well as the abandonment of that portion of the old Peabody No. 1 Mine workings (1895-1901).
