All three are below sea level, this dne 30. metres; but no water has yet found its way in. Here, at the lowest estimate, there must be 30,000 tons of splendid coal. The bill cut into at Nigolan therefore can be relied on for 130,000 tons even if there is no more behind what is now expored to view; and could thus pat out 30 to a day or 5.000 a month for over twe years.
