CHAPTER V.
'ADMINISTRATION REPORT FOR THE PERSIAN MEKRAN COAST
FOR THE YEAR 1909.
Including the Districts of Biyaban, Jask, Gaih, Dashtyaei and Bahd.
[For approximate boundaries of these Divisions see Administration Report of 1905-06.J
Mir Barkat has been the recognised chief of the district up to the end
of February, but I understand the
Biyaban District. Governor of Bushire has had consider
able difficulty in recovering anything towards the annual tax money for which
Barkat is responsible. Mir Barkat was much annoyed at the refusal of the
inhabitants of Minab to meet his demand for 4,000 krans for protecting
them against the raids made by the Chief of Rudbar last year. Through
out the summer Barkat's followers made petty raids in the Minab district
and altogether looted 37 camels, and other property belonging to the inhabi
tants of Minab. On the 8th March 1910, His Excellency the Darya Begi
arrived at Jask. Major Austin proved to His Excellency that Mir Barkat
had been taking a very active part in the arms traffic, and induced him to
deport Mir Barkat. The Darya Begi and Mir Barkat are close friends,
' and it is therefore extremely doubtful whether Mir Barkat would ever have
gone further than Bandar Abbas, had not the Resident gone there in the
" Lawrence " and personally taken the matter in hand. The deportation of
Mir Barkat has had very great effect, and it is now thought that the Afghans
will experience some difficulty in getting help of any description from
Baluchis.
Slaves.—Two cases of traffic in slaves, from the Biyaban to the Arabian
Coast, were reported during the year. On the Mth April 1909, one Bash-
kardi girl was sent by boat (Nakhoda Muhammad Ali) frona Bunji by Mir
Barkat as a present to Ali Khan, an arms dealer in Maskat On the 7th J my
1909, two Baluch slaves (one male and one female) were shipped to Maskat
from Gunari by a Baluch subject of Biyaban, named Hasham. The proceeds
of the sale were to be invested in the purchase of rifles.
Mir Mustapha Khan and Mir Barkat were more friendly during the
early part of the year, but m August,
Jask District. while ^ f orm er was in Bashakird, two
of his sons, Cheragh Khan and Murad (aged 22 and 20 years respectively),
looted some camels belonging to a subject of Mir Barkat. Cheragh Knan
and Murad made rather a determined stand against, Barkat, the inci(1 ^
nearly causing a fight, but they were eventually persuaded to return e
looted property. During the months of May, June, July and August about
1,200 Baluchis migrated from the Jask district to the Arab Coast on account
of the scarcity of food. Many have since returned but quite halt nave
remained on the Arab Coast. All chiefs and inhabitants of the is nc
have been greatly impressed by the action taken this season m the suppres
sion of the arms traffic, and are willing to submit to any proposals ot tne
Government.
Slaves. —Only one case of traffic in slaves in the J ask district was repor e
during the year. On the 27th October, Murad, son of Mir Mustapha Kiia ,
shipped two female slaves to Burkeh on the Oman Coast.
