A demonstration of the above nature convened in October last by one of the
Shiah. Mujtabids in the Juma Masid was a half hearted affair and failed to rouse
any enthusiasm-
The novelty of the Persian Kushun having long ago waned, nobody in
Bandar Abbas cares or troubles about its existence now-a-days.
More importance is attached to the Army in Lingah where the Commander
more or less ignores the Civil Officials and interposes his interference in purely
civil cases arising amongst the inhabitants.

Balloting for the election of a Deputy to the Mejliss at Tehran extended
througout June, July and August and resulted in the return of the sitting member
Haji Sayed Mahomed Baqir, Dast-i-Ghaib.
The proceedings resembled anything but those of a Parliamentary election
and very little interest was evinced by the man in the street. The result can
hardly be said to reflect the will of the majority and was undoubtedly attained
through the influence of the Governor Salar-i-Nizam.
No elections were held at Ling ah.
In November one, Nehmatullah arrived from Lar with ballot papers for
election of one Deputy for Lar and Lingah. The townspeople declined to record
their votes contending that as the interests of Lingah and Lar were not identical,
there should be a separate representative in the mejliss for their town.

Bandar Abhas. —Twenty slaves applied for manumission during the year
of whom seven including three Minabis were granted certificates. Most of the
others ran away after coming in to the Consulate.

'Anglo-Persian Oil Company's Wells at Salakh.
Staff : Mr. N. Sutherland continued to act as Manager on Kishm Island
throughout the year.
Test Well. No- 1 well was carried to a depth of 3305 feet Progress has been
disappointingly slow on account of adverse conditions and distance from sources
of supply. No conclusive result has yet been reached.
Towards the end of the year No. 2 Test Well was started only with a view
to getting more accurate information regarding an oil show which was encoun
tered at about 1600 feet in No. 1.
No attempt is being made to drill a deep well and the work is progressing
satisfactorily.
Salt.
During the year 7200 tons of NamaMan salt were shipped for the use of the
Abadan Refinery. Practicallv the whole of this quantity was transported m
British India Steam Navigation Compay's steamers the Company not having
had a suitable vessel for the purpose at the time.
Apart from salt, there is no mineral exploitation in Qishm Island. There
are sulphur deposits in various parts but that mineral is either too impure or too
inaccessible to justify commercial exploitation.
Imperial Bank of Persia.
Mr. A. B. Hutchison remained Manager of the Bandar Abbas Branch
throughout the year.
Commenting on the Bank's transactions, Mr. Hutchison observes that the
condition of silver Krans in circulation, in Bandar Abbas and the surrounding
districts is deplorable and causes not a little inconvenience to the Bank as also to
the customs and merchants in general.
