Correspondence and other papers relating to rock salt extraction at Salif [As Salif] in Yemen. The correspondence chiefly concerns various efforts on the part of British interests to agree a concession for the extraction of rock salt at Salif, a concession operated prior to the First World War by the Ottoman Public Debt Administration (also referred to in the volume by its French name, Administration de la Dette Publique Ottomane). The volume includes: correspondence from the British company Balmer Lawrie & Company, and Adam Samuel James Block, Representative for British Bondholders in Turkey, enquiring after the rock salt concession, 1917; the sale of Salif rock salt by the Government of India, and the investment of the proceeds in Exchequer Bonds, 1917; arrangements for the repayment of bonds back to the Ottoman Public Debt Administration, facilitated by the Imperial Ottoman Bank, 1920-24; papers and draft agreements relating to a new concession for the extraction of rock salt at Salif, negotiated between the British company Steel Brothers & Company Limited and the Imam of Yemen, and brokered by Commander Charles Edward Vereker Crauford, 1929.
The volume contains several items written in French.
The volume includes a divider which gives the subject number, the year the subject file was opened, the subject heading, and a list of correspondence references by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
