What reading level is British North Borneo : An Account of Its History, Resources, And Native Tribes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Pavitt, the Chief Surveyor, was worked, and in 1898 a syndicate obtained a concession to exploit the coal in Sandakan Bay, but in spite of promising beginnings it met with the same fate that had dogged the footsteps of every mining enterprise in the country. In rgoa Mr. D. Viezee, discovered extensive deposits of young coal on the Melobong peninsula in the Marudu Bay district. It was thought that this would be of assistance in working the manganese and another sjmdicate was formed, but on exami...nation the coal was found to contain too much iron pyrites, which rendered it liable to spontaneous com- bustion and also, owing to its comparatively recent geological age, it had too small a percentage of fixed carbon for it to be profitable to work. When Mr. Viezee regretfully told his natives that the coal on which they had built such hopes was too young to be of any use, they only smiled and said reassur- ingly, " Never mind, Tuan, wait another ten years and then all will be well." Further hopes were raised in 1905, when the Exploration Company discovered what was declared to be smokeless coal on the island of Jambongan, off the north-east coast.
