Note Date Short Description Note Text
2888 1899 The mine was purchased by the James Horn syndicate.

In June, the James Horn syndicate purchased Mr Prydes three coal leases (#183, #255 and #386). This was the first move to amalgamate the coal mines in Bannockburn. It is unclear if this syndicate was a holding company for the later floated Cromwell & Bannockburn Colliery Company or if it did any coal mining. It appears that Mr J C Campbell worked both the Adams Creek mines (#255 and #386) and employed 12 miners. At some stage the 'Kawarau Mine' #386 was connected underground to the Bannockburn Coal Pit #504, and from then on the mine was just known as the 'Kawarau Mine'

2889 1900 Formation of the Cromwell & Bannockburn Colliery Company

In April 1900 the Cromwell & Bannockburn Colliery Company was formed and purchased the assets of the James Horn syndicate, which included location #255.
