For many months the Blackburn Coal Company has employed a large gang of workmen in laying a Government gauge line, building bridges, and making cuttings between the Mount Somers railway and their large coal deposits up the Woolshed Creek (a distance of about eight miles), at a cost of several thousands of pounds. As the work is now nearing completion, arrangements have been made to hold the official opening on Thursday, December 4, and the Minister of Railways, the District Traffic Manager, other prominent railwav officials, Members of Parliament, and representatives of local and business concerns, are being invited.
