(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 and Selangor in whiteness and pliancy.

The administrative expenditure exceeds the income and the State is heavily in debt with a loan account standing at nearly three and a half millions of dollars, mostly advanced by the State of Selangor. Little has been done in planting beyond experimenting with tapioca and coco-nuts. Mining, however, gives encouraging results, and there is a considerable demand for mining land." Land is also in demand in the Pekan and Kuantan districts, where it is proposed to open up tin mining operations on a very extensive scale. In the Kuala Lipis district extensive areas have been applied for, which it is proposed to work for alluvial gold by improved hydraulic methods.
