fulfilled the expectations formed of it. The produce of Brunei finds a market in Labuan, but the volume of the trade is small. There are three sago manufactories on the island where the raw material is converted into flour, for export chiefly to Singapore. The Government is now administered by the British North Borneo Company, having been handed over to it by the Imperial Government in 1889. The population in 1890 was 5,853, of whom 25 were Europeans and 17 Eurasians, the remainder being chiefly Chinese and Malays. The Chinese, who number over a thousand, are the chief traders, and most of the industries of the island are in their hands. There are over thirty Europeans now, including Government Officials, the staff of the Eastern Extension Telegraphi Company, the Coal Point mines and traders. The New Central Borneo Company, are lessees of the Coal Mines in the island and are developing a considerable trade in the coal, which is largely supplied to H. M's ships. The revenue is chiefly derived from the farming out of licences to sell tobacco, spirits, opium, and fish. Mr. L. P. Beaufort, Governor of British North Borneo, is also Governor and Commander-in-chief of Labuan.
