Idle Treasure in India.

Boston Gazette.
1t is estimated in the AUahabad Pioneer that
the treasure lying idle in India in the shape of
hoards or ornaments amounts to 81, $50, 600, ,O0O
A competent authority guesses that sin Am
ritsar City alone there are jewels to the value
of two million pounds sterling" AS regards
some other districts, the figures that have been
furnished are not less astonishing. The mis-
cradle waste of Montgomery is estimated to
possess about fifty lakhs in ornaments. The
hillsides and valleys of Kulu are put at three
lakhs and half. In Jehlum two-tifths of the
wealth of the district is said to be vested in
property of this nature, and in Kohat, 'prob-
ably one of the poorest districts of the pro-
vince in this respect, the estimate is taken at
500 rupees for each Hindoo family and ten
rupees for each Mussulman family, and a lakh
in the aggregate for the Nawab and other
Raises, making total for the district of
seventy-five lakhs.n A lakh is worth about
$35, 900.
