chou, near Ta-tung, turning out some 20 tons a day. Th Chih-chou mines are worked with Western appliances and machinery. The export in 1886 was 4,079 tons. There is a large trade in Timber in Wuhu, but that like all other trade, is in the hands of the Chinese. The total value of the trade of the port for 1886 was Tls. 7,989,833 as against Tls. 5,255,360 in 1885.
The town is fairly well built, with rather broader streets than most Chinese cities possess, and is tolerably paved. The tract of land selected for the British Settlement, though admirably suited for the purpose, with good deep water frontage, has not yet been availed of, and there are few foreign houses in the place. The population of Wuhu is estimated at 60,000 inhabitants.
