eokhara's Ameer Hal, tho Largest Pri.
vate Hoard In the World.
The largest private hoard in the
world Is probably that owned by the
ameer Of Bokhara, the Russian vas
sal state In central Asia. According
to the Turkestanskive Kraj, the ameer
possesses In his stronghold q vault
completely filed with gold bars and
coined gold.
Some years ago the ameer had an
other vault built to hold his savings,
and the new storehouse is now almost
full. There is at the Bokharan court
an enormous cash book, which has
served for generations and in which
all revenues and expenditures are sup
posed to be put down, but also for gen.
erations 1t has never been checked with
the "cash in hand
Grating is the easiest thing in the
world at Bokhara. The ameers OH
cials draw no salary. They are ap-
pointed on the understanding that they.
must keep themselves on what they
can make out Of their various offices.
There is no budget, and the largest per-
mament charge on the ameer's income
is one Of $4,000 annually for local
hospital. Then there is small con-
trtbution toward the upkeep Of the
Russian police in the protectorate and
the maintenance Of the Bokharan
army" which has shrunk to q mere
bodyguard.
The ameer's annual savings, It is cal
culated, amount to more than $780,
