MINING.
THE WATPA COAL CO3IPANY
The Waipa Coal Mining Company's capital ha,s been over-subscribed. The railway connection between the mine and the Main Trunk railway (51 miles) is all but completed, and when that is ready there will be no obstacles in the way of making an early start with the actual mining and marketing of coal. This will probably be commenced towards the end of January. In view of the contemplated early start, the directors, having been taught a lesson by the recent industrial trouble, are determined that the miners employed by the company Avill be registered under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, whether they be a separate union or a branch of the Arbitration Union now forming at Huntly or not. As there is an open faco of excellent coal ready to start on, there will be no initial difficulties in connection wifh the hewing work, and by the* end of the financial year it is aticipated ttiat the mine will bo in full swing.
