The Louis Frost Notes 1685 to 1962 Dominion No. 3 Colliery Phalen Seam This was a slope mine located on the outcrop of the Phalen Seam in the Passchendaele area of the Town of Glace Bay. The mine was opened in 1900 to recover the Phalen Seam coal lying between No. 4 and No. 5 Collieries, and to the rise of No. 2 Colliery. The seam in this area was 7 ft. 6 ins. thick and had an average dip of 8 percent in a northerly direction. The mine, which shared a common bankhead with No. 11 Colliery, was worked on a pillar and room system, and was in continuous operation until 1915 when it was closed, all the coal tributary to it having been recovered. During its life the colliery produced 3,976,690 tons from an area of 492.8 acres.
