recognition also, as Deputy Governor of Bijaban. The two kinsmen were
fighting the issue out among themselves when the year closed.
The politics of Biyaban are inseparable from those of the Jask districts
both having been formerly ruled by the common ancestor of the two Mirs
abovementioned.
The seat of Government in the case of Mir Haji has been always at
Sirrig, and that of Mir Barkat at Naamurdi.
Under the circumstances above described it is not surprising that Biyaban
possesses a chronic reputation for lawlessness.
Persian Customs representatives are posted at Sirrig, Briz, Sarkand and
Bunji: points of observation, under the supervision of the Mudir of Minab.
JASK DISTRICT.
The Jask district is controlled by the brother of Mir Barkat above-
mentioned, Mir Mustapha Khan bin
General. Abdul Nabi, who is regarded as the
paramount Chief, and his distant cousin Mir Boti bin Mir Ali, the latter
being specially responsible between Jask and the Jagin river, and the former
from Jagin to the Sadeeh river, which forms the eastern boundary of the
district.
Mir Mustapha Khan and his younger brother Mir Barkat are also in
charge of the country, west of Jask to Kuh-i-Mubarek.
The general condition of the district has been peaceful, no disturbances
having occurred during the year, and no damage done to the line.
GAIH DISTRICT.
The Chief of this large district,

during the year, but sent his nephew

Islam Khan to collect taxes from
the minor chiefs and headmen, who one and all complain of oppression and of
the exorbitant taxes demanded. The population continues to decrease on
account of this overbearing oppression, and the tax money demanded from
each remaining individual naturally increases.
Sardar

Said Khan on his
nart must meet the annual payment to the Persian Government at Bampur
which can only be done bv looting and overtaxation, and at the cost of driving
out the inhabitants, and the gradual ruin of the country. The rapid decrease
of the population is particularly marked by the great number of bunded
fields not in cultivation.
The condition of the country has been peaceful and no damage has been
done to the line during the year.
The district of Gaih is split up into many minor districts, the Chiefs and
headmen of which are subsidized, but as this data is contained in many previous
reports, only those sub-districts which call for special remarks are touched
upon.
The headmen of this sub-district Mir Sy dull ah is an imbecile. Early in
the year he went to Maskat where he was
Bir sub -district. arrested by His Highness the Sultan for
the supposed murder of a slave and was handed over to the Persian authori
ties at Bushire for punishment. He was released some months after and has
since returned to his district.
The management was for a time controlled by his uncle Sahib Khan,
but this gentleman declines further assistance unless he is given the Govern
ment subsidy or part of -it. Mir Sydullah has a son, Sheroo, who is only a boy
of ten but arrangements could probably be made with the uncle Sahib ^ Khan
to undertake the control of the Bir district until this boy attains his majority.
Mir Sydullah's subsidy of Es. 200 for the year ending the 31st December
1905 has been paid with his authority to Sahib Khan, who is now carrying on
the work of the district.
