The coal miners in the Bullet- district are settling down to work after the holidays, and producing coal in fairly large quantities (says the Westport News). If the demand continues good, Westport’s shipping should speedily come up to what it was in the pre-war days when the coal output ran up to 20,000 tons and over for the week. The co-operative coal-mining parties at Seddonville are finding a good demand for the coal (says the Westport News). The sample orders sent to Auckland turned out very satisfactory, with the result that orders exceeding the present ability of the miners to supply are flowing in. Development work at several of the mines is in hand, ensuring a much larger output in the near future.
