Mr.. Francis and His Island.

j. ]. Francis, B. G. of Hong Kong, can
be, like Defoe's immortal creation,
monarch of all he surveys when he lands
upon the island of Balambangan, off the
coast of North Borneo. The island was
conceded to Mr.. Francis during holt
day visit which that gentleman paid to
Borneo last year, and is described as
being close upon fifty miles in circum-
ference, and lying about ten or eleven
miles off the extreme northern point Of
Borneo. tits $50 miles from the port of
Sandakan, and has no inhabitants, nor
any trace of any. The northern half of
the island is sandy plain, we'll suited
for pasturing cattle or for cocoanut
planting. The other side consists of a
dense jungle of large trees, something
after the style of the dark forest which
so impeded Mr.. Stanley in his last Jour-
ney acress Africa. The shore, as is
common in the tropics, is fringed with
mangroVes. There is an abundance of
fine limestone on the hills, the highest
of which reaches over 100 feet, and in
the valleys is soil evidently very suita-
BILE for coffee planting There are two
good harbors Wild cattle are appar.
emily abundant, and there are three
species of deer, and plenty of wild pigs,
but no crocodiles. So far Mr.. Francis
has formed no definite idea as to what
he shall do with Balambangan, but he
intends to send competent man down
to examine and report upon the nlace.-

confidence in him as if he were much
older than he is? If you have, you have
seen boy that was very manly even at
six or seven years of age. Now all the
difference in the world between a boy

This rising young city is fast becoming
the Denver of western Colorado. It's loca-
ion at the junction of the Grand and the
Gunnison, the two great rivers of that state,
make it the necessary center of all railroads
reaching west through Colorado. Those
rivers and their tributaries cover the state
from north to south in their sources, and
converge through mountains at Grand juno
ton. As soon as railroad crosses the crest
of the Rockies, it strikes stream leading to
Grand Junction. Water grades being better
than tunnels and trestles, Grand Junction
becomes the gateway of all Colorado roads
to the Pacific. She is already the practical
terminus of the Denver Il Rio GTanae and
the Denver & Rio Grande Western. The
machine shops are there. The Midland and
the Denver & Rio Grande are building a
standard guage line down the Grand, over
which they and the Missouri Pacific, the
Santa Fe, the Rock Island and the Burling-
ton will be running standard guage cars to
Grand Junction by June 1st. The Denver
& South Park is sur veyed to 1t.
A survey is now in progress for railroad
down the Grand Canon of the Colorado, be-
ginning at Grand Junction and ending at
Los Angeles and San Diego. This, In con-
nection with the Marshall Pass route, will
be the grandest line in the world. The Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe has projected a
route from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to
Grand Junction.
Over twenty charters for as many differ
ent railroads, including the above. have been
fled with the county recorder, and all trans
continental except one coal road, now near
ly completed.
Grand Junction is about equi-distant be-
tween Denver and Pueblo, on the east, and
Salt Lake and Ogden on the west, far enough
from each for large city.
