The Melbourne Telegraph has the following on the the probability of founding a Chinese colony m North Queensland :— " One portion of Australia is receiving population at a tolerably rapid rate, and that is Northern Queensland. It is undergoing the experience of a Chinese rush, and qnite as likely as not the rush will be on a scale unprecedented m Australia. Cooktown is barely fourteen clays steaming from Hong Kong, so that passengers can be landed very cheaply, and it is the shortest and most economical trip ever offered to the Chinese."
