NEW STATE MINE
DEVELOPMENT PENDING
Cabinet has given authority to the Minister of Mines (the Hon. P. C. Webb) to proceed with important development work on a large proved coal area adjacent to the James Mine at Runanga, on which a new seam, twenty feet thick, of first-class coal can be [worked.
Roading will be necessary, as well as mining, and the development is expected to provide work for a number of men for about two years. It will be completed to enable the new mine to begin production when the existing James Mine reaches the end of its coal resources.
