Many of our people are rejoicing over
the fact that the old Hillside workings
northeast of town, have been drained and
are now almost entirely free from the inn
mense body of water which has been
standing there for a number of years
The drainage Of these workings is a great
success as there were no lives lost and the
Elmwood colliery, whose gangways run
under the Hillside gangways, has not been
idle on account of too much water. The
life of the Elmwood colliery will now be
prolonged by about 20 years.
