CHAPTER VII.
ROBOROVSKIJ, PRSCHEVALSKIJ AND FUTTERER ON
THE KURUK-TAGH.
On Roborovskij's map of the south shore of the Baghrasch-köl both names Kisil-sangir and Sangir-urten are entered, the former to the east of the latter. Between the two runs a route-line, labelled, »route through Sangir-urten to Sa-tschou.» To the north of both we read »Kisil-sangir-tagh», which again must in reality be the main range of the Kuruk-tagh.
Roborovskij however both in his text and on his map distinguishes between two parallel chains. In November r 900 this traveller made an excursion from Korla to Uschak-tal, round the southern and eastern shores of the Baghrasch-köl, and between the first-named town and the western extremity of the lake, where the Kontschedarja issues from it, crossed the extreme western part of the Kuruk-tagh. I will here cite his conception of the orographical relations.
»At its north-eastern edge the oasis of Korla touches the desert-like slopes, strewn with pebbles, which descend steeply from the adjacent Kuruk-tagh. At the farthest extremity of the oasis a road branches off to the south-east to the district of Kisil-sangir, five days from Korla. At that place, which lies in a broad valley between the mountain chains of the Kuruk-tagh, i 50 Kalmuck families are settled, engaged in agriculture. * In the mountain Altin-tagh, two days to the south-west of the same place, there are gold and lead mines, Altin-kan, though they are now virtually abandoned.»**
»Shortly after leaving the oasis, we crossed a little south-easterly spur of the Kuruk-tagh and on the other side of it a valley, and then entered a gloomy defile
* This statement was subsequently corrected by Kosloff, who found nobody there except Ahmed Pavan and his family. There are Kalmucks however not very far away.
** During my 1896 journey I was given the following information about this place: »Die Teile des Kurruk-tag, ein Paar Tagereisen` unterhalb Tjinalga, werden Tjong-altin-tag und Kitjik-Altintag (der Grosse und Kleine Goldberg) genannt; hier haben früher Dunganen gearbeitet, nach dem letzten Dunganenaufstand aber übernahmen die Chinesen selbst die Bearbeitung, verwenden aber nur sartische Arbeiter. Die Arbeit wird nur während des Sommers getrieben. Sogenannte kans oder Gruben werden einfach in den Betten von vertrockneten Bächen gegraben; aus dem ausgegrabenen lockeren Schutt und Sand werden die Goldkörner durch ein Sieb ausgewaschen.» (Pet. Mitt., Erghft. 13r, p. 71.)
