1864.
The Chief of the Jashk and Biyaban districts about this time was
Mir 'Abdun Nabi, who had usurped possession of them and of the fort of
Old Jashk on the death of Mir Husaiuj an earlier chief. He was an ener
getic and influential man, and was soon confirmed in the position whicli
he had made for himself by the ruler of ; Oman.
The only local chiefs of importance between Gwadar and the Jashk
district in 1864) were those of Gaih ; Dashtyari and Bahu, of which
districts the last two ; though actually governed by separate rulers, seem
to have been regarded as forming one chiefdom. The chief of Gaih
was still Mir ^Abdullah^ who received Rs. 200 a year from the Sultan of
^Oman for protecting Chahbar; and Dashtyari and Bahu were ruled by
Mir Din Muhammad and Mir Mahammad "'Ali; Jadgals, of whom the
former was paid Rs. 900 a year by the Sultan of 'Oman from the
revenues of Chahbar, while the latter appears to have been in direct
charge of Gwatar. These two chiefs were near collateral relatives of
one another; and Din Muhammad was married at this time, or not
much later, to a sister of Mir ^Abdullah of Gaih. Mir ; Abdullah was
revenue collector, on the part of the Persian Government, for all three
districts. At Gwatar liability to pay revenue to Persia was repudiated,
in theory but not in practice, as an unjust innovation resulting in a
double collection of taxes, one in the name of the Persian Government
and a second time for the benefit of the local chief.
Meanwhile Gwadar and Chahbar continued to be administered and
taxed, without the interference of any Persian agent, by representatives
of the Sultan of 'Oman on their master's behalf.
Further proceedings with reference to the telegraph in Makran,
and question of the border between Persia and Kalat,

in regard to the extreme limit to which a aI1
line might be extended westwards from Gwadar without encountering
