Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A relatively old copper mine (SHARMA, C K 1990: 252). SITUATION 1990: Gurja Khani occurs in north-west part (note 1) of an area somewhere south of Dhaulagiri and north of Musikot [note 2] and north-west of Baglung [note 3] (SHARMA, C K 1990: 252). Musikot was the residence of the chief of this name, who had a brick-house on a hill close to the Barigar river, and, unlike the other chiefs of his race, rejected the pure doctrines of the Brahmans … There was no great mart, but near the Barigar there is a mine of copper. The great crop here is winter rice (HAMILTON BUCHANAN 1819 edited 2009: 267-268). West from Rugun [Rukum] is Musikot … West again from Musikot is Jajarkot (HAMILTON BUCHANAN 1819 edited 2009: 276). CULTURAL HISTORY: Charles Ramble (1995 personal communication) suggested to see the anthropological works by Anne de Sales for further details. CAVE LIFE: Not known (note 4).A relatively old copper mine (SHARMA, C K 1990: 252).
