SELF-HELP COLLIERY.
The Trefach Colliery, Heolycyw, near Bridgend, Wales, is to reopen, after ten years, through the combined efforts of the villagers themselves. Investigations directed by mining engineers were financed through a subscription list raised in the district. The pennies of unemployed, as well as the shillings and pounds of those who are better off, have swelled the fund. Miners have been engaged #i preliminary operations. So much progress has been made that more men are likely to be absorbed within a few weeks, while 150 miners, the 1926 complement, are expected to be employed before the end of this year.
