REPORT ON THE ARTUSH (LOWER) BAZAAR MADE IN FEBRUARY 1874.
En route to Artush we passed Besh Kirrim, a considerable group of hamlets in the Kashghar district comprising 960 houses; this is one of the principal fruit-growing portions of the Kashghar district.
Besh Kirrim has a small bazaar of its own on Wednesdays.
From Besh Kirrim the road, which leads from the city to Lower Artush, runs through a small gap to the Artush valley on the other side of a low sand ridge : in the gorge is a small shrine to Slit Bium, the wet-nurse of Sultan Satûk Bogra Khan ; the first hamlet in the Artush valley termed Lungur is 8 miles from Besh Kirrim ; the road from this passes at 6 miles through the hamlet of Beh Ahmed at one mile from Artush proper.
In the entire district of Artush are some 2,000 houses, which are grouped in hamlets as follows :=
| 1. Altun Artush | . 300 houses. | 11. Istachi | ... 150 houses. | |
