PAHANG

377

ore having been got from the 1892 crushings. The principal gold-workings of the peninsula lie almost entirely along a not very wide line drawn from Mounts Ophir and Segamat (the southern limit of the auriferous chain), through the very heart of the peninsula, to the Kalian Mas or gold-diggings of Patani and Selepin in the north. The best tin workings of Pahang lie near the Selangor hills on the river Bentong and near the gold workings at Jelei and Talom. Pahang tin is said to be the only tin on the east coast which can rival that of Perak Selangor in whiteness and pliancy.

The revenue in 1893 amounted to $83,688 and the expenditure to $278,392. There is a state debt of $953,000. The export of gold for the year was 9,616 oz., as against 3,570 oz. in 1892 and 1,227 oz. in 1891. The total export of tin was 4,450 piculs as against 4,212 piculs in 1892 and 5,049 piculs in 1891.
