Cullman, Ala, July 2S.-Queen VIII
helmina Of Holland has recently IN
vested about $750,O00 in coal lands In
this section of Alabama, and her
agents are willing TO make further
investments. AS result of Queen
Wihelmina's investment there has
been organized the Cullman Coal and
Coke company with a capital of 81
100000. The queen owns nearly half
the stock of the company, and the re-
mainder Is held by Holland capitalists.
This company will mine the coal. the
bulk of which will be shipped to
Holland from Mobile. The queen was
induced to make the investment by a
relative who visited Cullman. When
this relative returned to Holland he
told the queen Of the coal deposits and
she was so much impressed that she
not only invested her own money. but
! induced Holland capitalists to invest
| theirs. Cullman and the adjoining
country is largely settled by Dutch and
