Hokutan Horonai coal mine
The is the oldest mine of the Ishikari coalfield of the Sorachi (Mikasa) mining region on the Japanese island of Hokkaido. Since its privatisation in 1889, the mine came under the management of the Hokutan company until its closure in 1989.〔(Hokkaido Colliery & Steamship Co )〕
==The Startup==
In 1868, carpenter Kimura Kichitarō (木村 吉太郎) discovered coal in Horonai, Mikasa (三 笠).〔Yoshioka Hirotaka (吉岡宏高), Shoninsha no tame no tankõkōza (初任者のための炭鉱講座, ''Eng.: Mining Lecture for Beginners'').〕 However, it took another 6 years before Chōjūrō Hayakawa a citizen of Sapporo, delivered the first coal to the colonization commission (開拓使, Kaitakushi).〔Ann B. Irish, Hokkaido: A History of Ethnic Transition and Development on Japan's Northern Island, pp. 116-117.〕 The local government took action, and the mining engineers Benjamin Smith Lyman and Takeaki Enomoto welded an investigation. Their findings were satisfactory, and the Meiji government decided to build in Horonai the first coal mine of the Ishikari coal basin.〔Kasuga Yutaka, (Transfer and Development of Coal-Mine Technology in Hokkaido ), pp. 11-20.〕 The construction of the mine was led by the American engineer L.C.E. Goujot and his disciple Edward Parry.〔L.C.E. Goujot had previously undertaken an effort to modernize the mine Kayanuma.〕 The first adit, the Daikōdō (大抗道, big adit) was opened in 1879. It was followed by the opening of the Takinosawa adit (瀧ノ沢抗) and Honsawa adit (本沢抗) in 1882, which meant the start of the coal production.〔
In the year 1882, the railway of Horonai was completed (官営幌内鉄道, Kan'ei Horonai Tetsudō), the third railway of the Japanese empire connecting the mine with the Otaru harbor.〔Horonai Tetsudō kyōryō kenkyūkai, Nihon Saiko no Amerika Seitetsudōkyō, p. 1.〕 Also, the government decided to build the prison of sorachi in Mikasa (空知監獄). Thus the problem of overcrowded prisons as well as the problem of insufficient labour power in the mine were solved. Between 1883 and 1894, this prison provided an average of 720 prison miners a year, making up 80 percent of the total workforce.〔Kasuga Yutaka, (opere citato ), pp. 25-26.〕
