NOTE 3.–The mines of _Ljwurd_ (whence _l”Azur_ and _Lazuli_) have been,
like the Ruby mines, celebrated for ages. They lie in the Upper Valley of
the Kokcha, called Korn, within the Tract called _Yamgn_, of which the
popular etymology is _Hamah-Kn_, or ‘All-Mines,’ and were visited by Wood
in 1838. The produce now is said to be of very inferior quality, and in
quantity from 30 to 60 _poods_ (36 lbs each) annually. The best quality
sells at Bokhara at 30 to 60 tillas, or 12_l._ to 24_l._ the pood
(_Manphl_). Surely it is ominous when a British agent writing of
Badakhshan products finds it natural to express weights in Russian poods!
