WEST COAST COAL MINES.
Representation to Government (By Telegraph.-Press Association.) Brunnebton, Saturday. A meeting of ratepayers, convened by the Mayor to consider tbe critical position of the Brunnerton coal mines was largely attended A eories of resolutions were carried unanimously, to be forwarded to the Premier, for presentatisn to the Ministry. These showed the mines to be fault bound, and unless concessions were made to the Company for prospecting cogl, it might be worked out in two years' time, and should the Grey Valley Coal Company throw up its lease, it would leave a worthless mine for the Government to resume. The result, such as that, meant ruin to Brunnerton, and would reduce Greymouth also, rendering the railway and port non-payable. A strong committee was formed to remain in office till the matter is settled.
