Physical Description
The milling works at Seabrook, near Northam, were erected to enable low-grade ores to be profitably treated under circumstances not available on the fields. Erected by the Water Trust, Mining, and Public Crushing Co. of Western Australia, on the initiative of Mr. Vanzetti, the works afforded an outlet for ores of mines which have not the capital to provide separate crushing plants, or, if they have, are precluded from crushing owing to the absence of a proper fuel and water supply. Messrs. Bewick, Moreing, and Co., the decided to close the battery in late 1899 due to excessive railage rates now in operation, which prohibit the carriage of ore from the fields.
