Details:
THE Seaham Colliery is situated 15 miles west of Newcastle. The plant and equipment are modern. The property consists of 4016 acres of freehold coal bearing land, out of which only 350 acres have been worked. The seam is the well-known Borehole. The mine is worked by two vertical shafts, the down cast being 450ft. deep and the upcast 470ft. deep, and employs 380 men and boys; the fortnightly pay sheets amount to between £1800 and £2000. The output of coal at the present time is 1000 tons daily. For one mile underground the main and tail rope system of haulage, together with electric signals and telephones, is installed. The coal is specially cleaned by two travelling belts each 80ft. long and 4ft. wide, and shaking screens. The coal is conveyed over the colliery s private line, a distance of 5 1/2 miles, by the company s two 60-ton locomotives to Cockle Creek, where the Government engines take charge of it and run it on to the Dyke. The company has 411 7-ton hopper waggons, which are equal to a capacity of 2877 tons, also a coal box for the stowage of small coal capable of holding 1000 tons, and with these facilities the colliery can give the best possible despatch to vessels. The mechanical ventilation of the colliery is effected by a Waddle fan 30ft. diameter, capable of producing 150,000 cubic feet of air per minute. There are also spacious offices, black smith and carpenter s shops, besides the large buildings for the storage of fodder and materials. The colliery, which is under the able management of Mr. Arch. Fairley, is kept in a highly satisfactory condition. The output, which is over 200,000 tons of large coal per annum, is used regularly by the Government railways of several of the colonies and by many of the principal intercolonial steamship companies, with whom the colliery has large con tracts, and is also extensively shipped to Manila, West Coast of South America, San Francisco, Honolulu, Singapore, Java, etc. Seaham coal, being equally good for steam, smelting, or household purposes, is of a very high quality, and specially adapted for marine and railway purposes, yielding most satisfactory practical results, both as regards economy in consumption and evaporative power. To meet the constantly-growing demand the output is being increased, and the reputation which the colliery has acquired for prompt loading is more than likely to be fully maintained. The coal also gives satisfactory results for gas purposes.
