Hi, try this website it gives lots of info on mines,housing,accidents etc.
You should be able to find pits local to carfin/newarthill.

There are also a number of books about that will give both general information and fill in a lot of background

The Mineworkers   - by Robert Duncan
Lanarkshire's Mining Legacy by Guthrie Hutton
Black Faces and Tackety Boots & Pit Props and Ponies both by Wilma Bolton
Lanarkshires Mining Disasters by Matt O'Neill

P.S  Carfin had at least 3 local pits at one point
