Before this i informed you to stop working in the mines of the red oxide of iron in
the Island ot Abu Musa; we understand you do not listen; therefore we send you just
bow , on our behalf, a certain Isa-bin-Ahmed, who has a notice from us to you. We

In the name of God!
In accordance with our contract dated the 18th Zilkada, 1315, corresponding to
the 11th April, 1898, we agreed to lease the oxide of iron mines situated in the Island
Abu Musa to Hage Hassan-ben-Ali Semey, Abdulla-ben-Hassan, and Isa-ben-Abdul
Latif. The contract does not contain a clause authorizing you to give the whole output
of oxide of iron to one stranger without our consent.
Because Hage' Hassan-beu-Ali Semey made a contract without our consent with
Eobert Wonckhaus in Lingah on the 1st June, 1906, and gave him right of purchase of
all this output of the mines in Abu Musa; we informed the said Hage Hassan-ben-Ali
Semey in our letter dated the 9th Muharrem, 1326, corresponding to the 21st February,
1907, that this leasehold, dated the 18th Zilkada, 1316, had expired, and that he had no
right to make use of the mines in Abu Musa in future.
We learn that, in spite of our prohibition, he still works the oxide mines in Abu
Musa and enjoys the profits. On this account we hereby proclaim to the said Hage
Hassan-ben-Ali Semey, and demand from him the immediate cession of work in the
mines and removal of himself, his employed, and all his mining implements from the
Island of Abu Musa within ten days from the date that tbis notice reacEes him. Let
this be known.
Written and dated the 25th Shaban, 1326.
