opening up some rich tin districts. There are about 500 miles of telegraph and telephone wires in use.
The country is well suited for coffee, and there are two plantations owned by Europeans doing well, besides smaller ones owned by natives. Chinese tea of good quality is grown on the higher mountain ranges and pepper flourishes at lower levels. The Government are encouraging planting, and with the facilities of transit offered by the new railways and roads, it is expected that planting will become a very important industry in the state. The chief drawback at present is the cost of imported labour.
The only duties levied on exports are a royalty of $10 per bhara (400 lbs.) on tin, and a royalty of one-tenth on timber, ataps, and other jungle produce. The value of the trade in 1891 was $26,447,232, showing an increase of $1,759,309 over that of the previous year. Tin is the principal export. The revenue in 1894 was $3,542,114 and the expenditure $3,587,224, besides a special expenditure of over a million dollars on railway construction and roads.
