THE BRUNNER MINE.
Nearly Worked Out.
Consequent on the pumps having been removed out of the clip workings in the Brunner Mine, the management interviewed the men for the purpose of getting them to work on Saturday afternoon so as to obtain as much coal as possible prior to the water rising and flooding them out. The men agreed to this. It will take less than two months to work the clip out. Matters are looking very serious as the principal portion of the rise is done, and the main quantity of coal to be obtained in future will be from a place locally known as Ladysmith, which is situated between the dip and rise workings. There is a fairly large' block of coal in this portion of the lease, but the output must necessarily be a good deal less in future as there are not a sufficient number of places to put the men in, who, although at present in work, must within a very short time be out of places.
