ELECTRICAI POWER FOR MINES.
A DUNEDIN SCHEME. [I 1 sim- Pbes? Assooiation.] DUNEDIN, Saturday. The Green Island lignite industry is likely to receive a great impetus by a scheme formulated by the local collieries to erect powerful electrical plant on the coal field, which will supply the mining companies and kindred industries around Dunedin with power. It is proposed to utilise the slack hitherto buried as waste, to generate power. If the scheme bo successfully developed, (which is practically assured), thousands of tons of slack iv abandoned workings will be profitably employed to such use. It is calculated that the profit will improve mine conditions as regards minimising spontaneous combustion.
