Summary

Description
English: Original caption: "Fig. 24. -- Plan of individual roadway longwall mine." The three-compartment hoisting shaft is in the center of the central pillar, which is not mined in order to avoid subsidance around the hoist. The downdraft ventilation shaft is 100' left of the pillar. Arrows show directions of air flow. Access to the face is through roadways through the gob, protected by packwalls, and with the roof "brushed" to maintain clearance as the roof subsides.
