The Government was administered by the British North Borneo Company from 1890 until January 1st, 1906, when the Colonial Office again_resumed direct control. The population in 1911 was 6,545, Europeans and 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 about thirty Europeans now, including Government officials, the staff of the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company, and traders. The Labuan Coalfields Company, Limited, are lessees of the coal mines in the island, but ceased operations in January, 1911. The output in 1910 was over 90,000 tons. The revenue is chiefly derived from the farming out of licences to sell tobacco, spirits, opium, and fish.
