The reserved area is part of an extensive coalfield, and prospecting has shown the fuel available to be of the highest market value. Large quantities of coal can be got to the rise without pumping, but j the completion of a railway and other works is necessary before payable quantities can be mined. The necessary works, after the Public Works Department has surveyed the proposed railway line, will take thi;ee or four-years to complete.
