This is a Prepared Opium Divan of the 2nd.
). It is one of the busiest Divans in the Colony,
and has been in existence for about 8 years. The books are well
kept, but contain a great deal of matter unconnected with the
opium business.
The capital is estimated at something over $500. The business belongs to one man and it is impossible to
get at any figures from the books.
