Remarkable Success of EngIishman
Who Manages an Island on the
Australian Coast.

j. Cooper, manager of Melville is
land, on behalf of E. o. Robinson, the
lessee, was in Melbourne this year.
Thirty-two years ago he went across
the Australian continent, south to
north, with horses Ever since he has
been in the north, prospecting, stock
hunting and buffalo shooting.
Has shot and skinned countless buff
falos. Lost count years ago as to how
many thousand. In the earlier days
all this hunting was on foot, but now
it Is on horseback. Horsemen dash
into the herds ana lay out the buff
faloes.
Cooper has administered Melville
island for many years. He has for a
long period been the only white man
on the island among numerous blacks.
Yet those blacks were reported to be
desperately ferocious. Sir G. Bremen
tried to make an English settlement
there in 1924. He had soldiers, but
the natives drove the party away.
In 1892 Robinson leased the island.
Subjugated by kindness, land indeed
had practically no other weapon. The
island is Of 100000 acres, together
with Bathurst island, separated by a
long narrow strait, fordable at one
end. At the other there is a harbor
fit to receive a war fleet. Bathurst
is about five hundred thousand acres,
and the natives roam over both,
They number about five hundred.
They have successfully repulsed the
Malayan and every admixture. APP

tralian in many respects.
About seventeen thousand buffaloes
on Melville island, and at least two
hundred thousand on the mainland of
Australia All descend from sixteen
buffaloes placed by Bremen on the is
land and sixteen on the mainland
1t is stated that buffaloes has swum
across the intervening thirty miles
Melville island is only that distance
from Port Darwin. What use a
force could make of it! The natives
had never touched a buffalo till
Cooper came. Now they have as much
beef as they can eat.
The island is splendidly watered
with ever flowing springs, which give
rise to fine creeks. and there are a
couple of rivers. Altogether well
grassed and timbered, with numerous
fertile valleys and much arabic land.
All experiments with tropical plants
have succeeded, but little has been
done beyond shooting about a thou
sand buffalos every year for their
skins-The Imperialist.
