The Administration's Collieries are situated in the Kaiping District of the Province of Chihli and have at present an annual output of four and a half to five million tons of bituminous coal.

The principal port of shipment is Chinwangtao on the Gulf of Chihli, which is open all the year round and which affords special facilities to ensure rapid loading. Coal is also shipped from the Administration's wharves at Tongku.

The Administration controls a fleet of steamers, maintaining a regular service between Chinwangtao and Shanghai/Hongkong, as well as with various smaller ports.

The Administration's Coal and Coke is in general use throughout China, Korea, Japan, the Philippine Islands, etc., etc., for all industrial, steam-raising and domestic purposes.

The following are the principal grades :-

Loco Lump is a good quality steam coal in use throughout the Far East as

a bunker coal.

Slack Coal is sold in three grades-Five Seam Slack, No. 1 Slack and No. 2 Slack. Run-of-Mine Coal, or a mixture of Lump and Slack coal, is in general use as

a locomotive fuel and makes an excellent bunker coal.

Linsi Lump is a good quality coal for household purposes.

Coke manufactured by the Administration is of first-class quality, close grained,

hard, heavy and free from sulphur.

Firebricks Marked K.M.A., formerly the well-known C.E.M.C.L. brand, are made in any size and shape at the Tongshan Brickworks. This brand of firebrick practically monopolizes the refractory clay trade from Netherlands India to Manchuria and is used exclusively by the large iron-producing works in the Far East as well as the prominent Municipal and Government power works throughout China.

Glazed Stoneware Pipes up to 12" diameter are manufactured by the

Administration and large stocks are held.

Glazed Tiles in a wide range of colours are manufactured by the Administration.
