BORAZJtJN (District)—
Description. —This district forms part of Dashtistan, and is part of the
province of Fars. It is bounded on the north by the river Rudhilleh form
Haft Jush, where it meets Angal territory, to Durudgah, and thence by the
Daliki or Shur River to some few miles past Buneh Mirza. The boundary
with Daliki is about 3 miles past Qaraul Khan, at a sulphur stream crossing
the caravan road, and this boundary line then mounts to the summit of
the hills. East, the boundary is along the summit of the Giseh Khan range
past Kuh-i-Bagh-i-Taj. South, the boundary crosses the entrance to the
Haft Mulla ravine, south of Nanizak and Jamileh : between Sarkurreh and
Sami and Gulangun in Tangistan : then north of Bulfariz and Gandumriz
in Tangistan : north of Ab-i-Tavil in Chahkutah and south of Tsavand.
West, the boundary is north-east from Tsawand, Nokal being in Angali and
Jarrafi in Borazjun, to Haft Jush.
Resources. —The district is entirely agricultural, a quantity of tobacco
being produced besides grain.
Administration. —The mdlidt of Borazjun is 5,300 tumdns : the revenue
of the Khan is said to be some 16,000 tumdns by taxation of land under
cultivation, and 20,000 tumdns, from rahddri, alafi and the taxation of
caravans, besides sale of monopolies of gum, etc.
Communications. —There are paths, practicable for lightly laden animals,
up the Giseh Khan range (i) by Lardeh, (ii) by Khurmi to the foot of the
Kuh-i-Bagh Taj, whence the track is too difficult for animals. The Bagh-i-
Taj crest is known by several names : from east to west Kamar-i-Zardak,
Kamar-i-Shainahu, Kamar-i-Dubareh, Kamar-i-Bardisar. The two last
paths to the top of the crest are Rah-i-Kardak, and Rah or Puk-i-Bariki.—
