These travel as far afield as Garmsel, Chagai, and Shorawak, purchasing
on the spot such local products as they can obtain, and in due course despatch
them through Nushki to Quetta. When accounts are made up, the profits
realized are equally divided between Baniah and agent. It is probably tills
system that has given rise to a misapprehension that the general indebted
ness of traders, Seistan and others, to Nushki Baniahs is so serious as to
heavily handicap trade.

About this item

Content

Report by Lieutenant Frank Cooke Webb Ware, Political Assistant, Chagai. Printed in Karachi at The Commissioner's Press, 1897. The report concerns the proposal to secure the trade route between Nushki, in what was at the time British territory, and Nasirabad [Nosratabad] in the Seistan [Sistan] region of Persia. The report is partly the result of a journey along the route undertaken by Ware himself between 27 January and 18 March 1897.

The report opens with a letter from Ware to the Agent to the Governor General in Baluchistan, Quetta, dated 15 July 1897, in which the main points of the report are summarised. The report itself consists of three appendices, as follows: I Administration and local Trade of Nushki, Chagai, and Western Sinjerani country (folios 5-9); II Quetta-Seistan Trade Route (folios 10-13); III Nushki Trade Returns for months February to June 1897 (folios 15-35). Information on the history, government, economy, geography, and tribes of the region is given.

Folio 14 is a map of the area where the Afghan-Persian, Afghan-British, and Baluch-Persian boundaries converge.
