of revenue collector, upkeep of road guards, etc. He never visits Kerman
and only carries out such orders of the Governor-General as happen to suit his
convenience.
Notwithstanding this unsatisfactory attitude towards the authority
of the Persian Government, the Zargham is a capable ruler, maintains good
order and prevents robberies.
Mirza Mahmud Khan, Tabatabai, held the Deputy Governorship through
out the year and maintained good order
Sir;ian ' in his charge. His attitude towards the
South Persia Rifles till its disbandment, was most helpful and friendly.
The Buchaqchi tribe was quiet through out the year under the chief ship
of Murad Khan, Sukuh-us-Sultan, cousin of Hussein Khan. At the close
of the year Murad Khan left the tribe and proceeded to Bandar Abbas owing
to oppression suffered by him at the hands of the Governor-General's mamurs.
Hussein Khan arrived in Kerman in the month of August. He has abi
ded by the conditions under which he was permitted to return i. e. that he
should reside in Kerman town and have no relations with his tribe. His
sympathies are with the Democrats and he has several times attempted both
directly and through the Governor-General, who favours him, to obtain per
mission from the Persian Government to return to his home and tribe but
without success.
No steps were taken during the year to re-establish the authority of the
Persian Government in this district and it
Persian Baluchistan. has continued as before under the independ
ent rule of its various chiefs. The most influential of these, Mir Bahram
Khan, of Bam pur, died in August and was succeeded by his nephew, Mir Dost
Mohamed Khan.

lands in the end of 1920 by Mir Dost Mohamed of Dizzak arrived in Kerman
