Jask District.
Mir Mustafa Khan continues to control this district assisted by his son Mir
Murad Khan.
Since the murder of Shahdad Gwaram lineguard by Murad Khan, Mir
Mustafa Khan has ceased to have any dealings with Murad Khan and has also
forbade Mm to enter his house. Murad Khan appears to be very hurt over Mir
Mustafa Khan's action and has promised to pay the blood money to Mir Mustafa
Khan and has also asked to be pardoned which Mir Mustafa Khan has granted.
The Biyaban and J ask Districts up to Maliki Chedag has been administered
satisfactorily and the tribesmen are friendly disposed towards us except the;
son of Hoti who still continues to trouble us.
. The Persian Government installed three Deputy Governors at Jask but
their tenure of office was a short lived one—the three of them only remaining
for about two months, which appears to have proved unsatisfactory.
Dasht of the Bint District.
This district is administered by Nagdi Khan from Maliki Chedag to Lund
assisted by the sons of the late Islam Khan, Mir Yahya Khan and Mir Ayub
Khan. Yahya Khan who was in receipt of the subsidy for the protection of the
telegraph lines has ceased to draw it. The subsidy having been transferred
to Mir Ayub Khan also the responsibility of protecting the line.
Nagdi Khan is supposed to have received orders from Sirdar Dost Mohamed
Khan of Bampur that he was to collect the whole of the revenue for this year
from Maliki Chedag to Lund and bring it personally to Gaih where Dost
Mohamed was in residence. Similar orders were issued to all headmen from
Lund to Parag. On arrival of Nagdi Khan and the headmen at Gaih, Dost
Mohamed Khan informed them'that the yearly revenue in future was to be paid
to him and nothing to Sirdar Husain Khan.
During our halt at Rapch Nagdi Khan and Ayub I&ian interviewed me and
appeared quite friendly and voluntarily offered their services to do anything
which was required by Government. The Karwan chiefs Mir Ali, Mir Hassan
Bak, Mir Shahsowar and Mir Gool Mohamed also interviewed me and appeared
to be quite friendly. They all seemed to be very upset on account of their sub
sidy being given to Nagdi Khan. I explained to them that it was through their
own fault and neglect in not protecting the line that their subsidy was stopped.
Dasht of the Gaih District.
From Balbund to Toz Hills is still administered by Sirdar Husain Khan.
I have not had the opportunity of meeting Sirdar Husain Khan but from all*
accounts heard. Sirdar Husain Khan seems very friendly disposed towards the
British Government.
On arrival at Bir, Mir Khair Mohamed, Mir Shahbeg and Moola Shah-
abdullah interviewed me and all seemed friendly. Shahabdullah enquired about
a subsidy, I informed him that I would put his request before vou. Shahabdul
lah appears to be a very respectable and honest man and offered to do anything
for Government. I have received no complaints of anv misbehaviour against
the headmen of Bandini, Bir, Khir, Sirgan or Parag and the line through these
districts has not been tampered with in any way.
Gaih District.
This district is more or less North and is under the control of Sirdar Husain
Khan. The relations between Sirdar Hus.ain Khan and Sirdar Dost Mohamed
Khan of Bampur are not at all friendly. Since Dost Mohamed Khan has taken
all the revenue from the different districts and allows Husain Khan just what
he tJainks is sufficient. The two Wazirs sent by Dost Mohamed Khan last year
to help Husain Khan have returned to Bampur.
Dashtyari District.
Sirdars Mahmud Khan and Din Mohamed are the chiefs of this district and
the relationship between them continues to be strained. A quarrel took place
between Mir Dilawar Khan, son of Mahmud Khan and Sirdar Din Mohamed
during the absence of Mahmud Khan on a pilgrimage to Mecca. Dilawar Khan
shot one of his men Ahmed by name outside the Talang fort at Dashtyari as he
