Agreement between Great Britain and Persia regarding the Limits of the
British Telegraph Station at Jask (1887).
(Translation.)
With regard to the boundaries of the Telegraph Establishment at Jask, in accordance
with the information received by the Persian Government and the British Legation, it has
been decided as follows under date of the month of Jamadi A. H. 1304 (25th Februarv
1887). *
That the Telegraph Establishment, which is situated at a distance of 300 yards from
the point take possession of 600 yards more to the north of the Telegraph Establishment,
i.e., 400 yards from the present boundary fence between which and the Telegraph Establish
ment is a distance of 200 yards, making a total from the end of the promontory to the
limits of 900 yards ; at the end of these 900 yards a wire boundary will be drawn and the
Government of Jask shall have no right whatsoever on any account whatever to interfere in
the interior of those limits.
As the Telegraph Establishment well is about 1,000 yards distant from the boundary
agreed upon, it is decided that the road and water-way from the well to the place where
they meet the limits be protected and no one shall build upon, destroy or interfere with
them; and for the preservation of the well itself it is agreed to set aside a space around
the well to be walled in at a distance all round of 100 yards from the well.
The customs and other buildings of the Persian Government Agent must be without
the limits above agreed upon and be built on the place agreed upon between Mr. Ffinch
