Burma image, WAA0150. [A Chinese Muleteer.] (Researcher's notes in brackets)
"Mule transport in this part of Burma is exclusively in Chinese hands. Kachins never own or hire mules. There is a great and increasing demand for mules, and breeding would certainly be profitable if conducted high up in the hills above the surra zone. The cost of transport has gradually risen by four annas and eight annas at a time, until the hire of a mule, which used to be a rupee a day, was on this occasion Rs 4-8-0, and is sometimes even Rs5. Many mules die of surra and a comparatively insignificant number were at this time (December 1918) employed on the Chin Hills Expedition, but if the cost of transport rises much more, it will seriously prejudice frontier trade." ['Races of Burma', Major C. M. Enriquez, Meiktila, 1920, p.19]
