M r . J. S. NAVARRA'S REPORT DATED 17 th DECEMBER 3921 ON THE CONDI
TION OF THE COUNTRY BETWEEN BIYABAN AND BAHU.
B iyaban D istrict.
Mir Burkat is still Zabit of the district and his methods of administration
have been very satisfactory. After many years he has now resumed entering
Jask station as already reported and his relations with us continue to be very
cordial. He has had some trouble with Mirza Khan of Rudbar and a few of
the Bashakard tribes and they were contemplating a fight but fortunately
they have come to peaceful terms now and Mir Burkat has returned to his
seat of administration at Goshki.
Minab is administered by Abbas Khan a relative of Mir BurVat and as
they are on very good terms I think the peace between Biyabanies and Mina-
bies will be kept up.
J ask D istrict.
Jask district is managed by Mir Mustafa Khan and his son Murad. The
junior sons also control certain other sections of his district. From recent
informations obtained, the Jask district extends from Koh Mobarak to
Malkani Chedag or the west bank of the river Sadaich. Mir Burkat has also
a half share in the revenue. As previously reported by my predecessor in 1920
regarding Mir Mustafa Khan*s weakness and lack of influence in the adminis
tration of Jask district, I am sorry to have to say that is absolutely the case.
When Mir Burkat called at Jask the matter was represented to him and they
had a meeting in which Mir Burkat gave Mir Mustafa Khan a sound bit of
advice and told him that if they could not manage the district he (Mir
Burkat) would have to come to Jask. Mustafa Khan and Murad assured him
that they would do their best and if Mir Burkat intended to come to Jask,
Mustafa*Khan would emigrate to the Arab coast. As Mir Burkat has a great
brotherly affection towards Mustafa Khan they decided to let him stay on.
Since then the matter has slightly improved. I have met Mirs Murad Chiragh
and Mir Noor Mohamed of Gabreg (latter is a half brother to Mir Burkat).
They all havo shewn signs of extreme friendship and have assured me that
they would be loyal to the Government and assist us as much as possible.
In matter of fact all the abovenamed chiefs appeared to me quite nice, respect
able and stately looking, but the trouble is that they are surrounded by a
handful of followers, of the lowest human type, a mixture of Africans and
Baluchies who misguide these headmen and invariably get them into trouble.
As the chief's life is in the hands of his followers, he has to keep quiet.
Mir Hoti of Jask, a subsidised chief is a brother-in-law to Burkat and
Mustafa Khan. He tries to do his best but unfortunately he has very little
influence in the district. He is very loyal to our Government.
B int D istrict.
From information obtained, this district extends from Sadaich river to
Balband 3 miles west of Bir. I believe this division has been made since Syed
Khan's death. It is managed by the sons of Islam Khan and his brother Mir
Nagdi Khan. One of the sons, Mir Yahya Khan is subsidised and Mir Nabi
Bukhsh, a relative of Mir Burkat and a half brother to Yahya and Ayub has
