BRITISH NORTH BORNEO.
[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Laban, BornED. GOVERNMENT BY CORPORATION.
With proft as its primary and essential object, whatever lofty or humanitarian motive may sotuate it collaterally, the government of British North Bornes has undergone ex- periences which may suggest something of value to those who count on quick and boun- tecus returns to the public treasury from Mindenne, as soon as the remora of Congres sionst checks upon corporate ofterprise shall make that land inviting to capital. Bornes blossomed into fame as a garden of the sun | while the world was yet unacquainted with the southern Philippines.

Out of the total exports last year valued at £333,600 tobacco shipments comprised nearly £170,000 in value. The forests in which the territory abounds, quite similar to those in Mindanao, and which have been con- sidered capable of supplying the South China market with choicń wood, yielded for export value of £28,000 Coffee-planting has roade no zubalantis! headway, Gatta-percha yielded £20,000, an Inoreass of £8,000 over exports for the preseding year, bat a small quantity in comparison with the amount that might be Of indiarubber, shipments were produced, valued at £7,300 Government vicourages in every possible way the development of timber and forest interests, but it has taken until now to reach this volume, although there is a ready market for products at prices that insure good profits on ail that can be sent out.
