Grey post. Total thickness ... 10 7f 
This is a section of the seam of coal lately sunk to at the Yale of 
Clwydd Colliery, in Lithgow Yalley, in the county of Cook. (See R 
on plan No. 4, and section D No. 10.) The shaft is 233 in depth, 
and the coal is 10 feet inches in thickness, with a dip 
to the east of about 1 in 20. This Company have 323 acres, 
and the shaft is connected, by a tramway of less than a quarter 
of a mile in length, with the Great AV estern Railway, at a distance 
of 95 miles from Sydney and the Harbour of Port Jackson. It 
is a splint coal, well suited for steam, household, smelting, 
gas, blacksmith, and other purposes; specific gravity about 
1‘3, and from its hard splinty nature it is a coal that will bear 
carriage well, as it will not readily break and form itself into 
small coal. The quantity of coal got in December, 1874, was 
50 tons, valued at £17 10s., and the average number of men 
employed daily was about sixteen and one boy. Mr. Wilson 
is the Colliery Manager, and A. Pairfax, Esq., the General 
Manager.
