QUEENSLAND GOLD DISCOVERIES.

FIGHT WITH NATIVES,

The Brisbane " Courier's" correspondent boarded mail steamer and interviewed Mr Morton, of the Sydney Museum, who has been in Goldie's party, and accompanied him in searching for gold. He Ims speci mens of good coarse gold washed out of the black sand, and goldm quartz. His state ment mainly verifies Mr Lawes' report, and there are no further discoveries. He states that he first discovered gold fifteen miles from the coast, and followed it rip sixty miles. The correspondent felt quite certain, after conversation with Mr Morton and seeing tli3 specimens, that some large fields must be opened. The black sand is very plentiful in the river bed, and the formation is bluestone and slate. Mr Morton left Cape Moresby January 19th, and reports a severe drought all along the New Guinea coast, from Port Moresby to South Cape. The plantations were destroyed, and even the forest trees were killed by it. On January Ist sighted the missionary lugger Mayri, Captain Dudfield, who reporceu as follows :—" While anchored at Stacey Island where the Rev. J. Chalmers and wife and four native teachers are stationed, on the afternoon of Saturday, 29th December sent three of my black crew to cut wood, mysel and another native only remaining on board. One Stacey Island native came off to barter. I told the cook to give him wood, and he lay down in the cabin. After a few minutes a spear was thrown into the cabin and struck me on the left side, pinning me to the deck. Another went into my right thigh. On tnrniug round for my gun I received another spear in the left shoulder and another through the hand. I fired several shots and tried to get on deck. There I found six or eight natives, and received a wound in the foot, severing all the tendons of the toes. We wounded several, and killed one. They then left, and on going on deck I saw two or three hundred natives on the shore. Mr Chalmers came off and in formed me that the natives were lauiiching war canoes and insisted upon my leaving. I pressed him to come wi' h hie wife and tlie teachers, but he refused to desert his post. Mr Goldie's party returned upon hearing this, and grave fears are entertained for the safety of Mr Chalmers and party. Captain TVdfield is maimed for life.

After some remarks from Mr Coleman (chairman), the Mayor of Par nell, and Messrs Robinson, Speight, and Leonard, the following gentlemen were elected on the new committee:—James William Melton (Mayor), John William Robinson, William Robert Ellison, Caleb Wood, William Flood, Donald Hugh McKenzie, Jonathan Winks.

The outgoing com mittee's report was read, which shewed that the number of scholars on the roll was 211, and that steps had been taken to secure a new building for the district school, the present being unsuited, and inadequate to the requirements of the district. The fol lowing gentlemen composed the new com mittee :—Messrs T. Peacock, T. L. White, G. P. Pierce, S. E. Hughes, T. Macffarlane, John Batger, and W. Chalmers. MOUNT ALBERT.

The value ot coke as a fuel, and as a means ol economy of coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coal and coke is invaluable for the ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those cooking and raising steam, as it absorbs .lie smoke or inflammable gases given oil by coal durin^ combustion, and renders the iu-c brighter clearer, and hotter. This is much more apparent where our local coals are used; indeed, owiug to the rapidity of burninf, some of these threaten to go out ol consumption altogether. Coke supplies exactly that which these coals lack—body and resistance. Every householder should buy coals and coke at the same time, and, v convenient, mix them ; smaller bills and greater satisfaction will be the result.
