Narrative

A roof fall occurred along the old travelway of the 3W at crosscut 3 in entry #5. The cause of the fall was weak laminated shale and water was dripping from the mine roof in this area. The intersection adjacent to this fall was bolted with 8' tension rebar bolts and it did not fall. The fall was restricted to the crosscut.
