The Louis Frost Notes 1685 to 1962

Dominion Coal Company Limited

The Company, on its formation in 1893, acquired a number of collieries which had been in operation for a long time and the areas allotted to them were largely worked out.

In a number of instances the collieries working small land areas of limited extent were in close proximity along the outcrops of the seams. Therefore, in keeping with the policy of the Dominion Coal Company at the time of its formation, to consolidate the smaller mining ventures, some of the smaller mines were closed and in due course others opened in localities more suitable to the most complete mining of the whole field.
