Causes Boom In Queensland Town BY LESLIE BRDDIE- Canadlan Press Correspondent SYDNEY. Australia, Nov. l7 — (CP) -— Blair Athol, a sleepy little coal mining town in the hottest part of Queensland, has become an overnight boom town reminiscent of the old gold rush towns of west- ern United States. The torwn has a population of less than l,000 but in the four square mile basin surrounding it there is enough opcmcut coal to supp] all for the next 100 years. Business men. get-richquick in- vestors and others have been streaming into the town with offers to buy the townsfolk out at in. fluted prices ever since it became known that the Electric Supply Corp., sn English company, had made a successful deal with the Queensland government to take over the working of the mine. An offer of $05,000 was made for the towns two-floored wooden hotel. The owner refused. although 06,000 would have made him happy a month or so ago. Similarly in. flated prices have been offered for the movie show, shops and building sites, but the townsfolk also realize that their piroperltes may be worth a fortune in a few years time and refine to sell. The Electric supply Corp.. is said to be agreeable to spend $57,000,000 on the mine and town alone. The company intends to build an electric railroad direct to the coast and develop the port they will use for an export base. To ship the coal they are to build a fleet of 14 colliers. The company's target is 8.503.000 tons of coal a year, as against the 900,000 of ‘the two companies working it at present. The deposit is estimated to con- tain well over 200,000,000 tons of good coal with proved seams ranging from 80 to 00 feet deep with an average of leu than 30 feet oi’ earth above the seams. The properties or! the coal il the main scam are given at: moisture, 0.8 per cent; fixed car- bon, 00.3; volatile matter, 25.7; sulphur, trace; calorific value, 11.6%.

Faced with the prospect of min- isters desertirig back country par- ishes for bigger communities and determined that “the little brown lchurch in the wildwoocl" would not disappear as the little red school- lzouses have, many mldwestcrn country parishes are offering their preachers a farm of their own.

Many a girl takes it for granted that, after marriage, her husband will continue to plan “dates?
