(30) At the Ceyton house I saw this afternoon 3 pair of Elephant tusks passing thru. One pair was large, the weight of the pair 9 1/2 lbs. Albertsen said that the only larger pair he had seen was 1 05 lbs the pair. The value they were was only $2.50 gold a lb. for the ivory. (31) Dry sunny in spots at noon, a short heavy thunder shower passed over the town. June 1 We departed from Tangyoch at 8 AM in a light misty rain. The road led down the Taiping river thru a narrow valley filled by rice terraces. Many Shan women were seen here with the Chinese transplanting seedling rice plants. This is the height of the rice planting season + all the fields are flooded. Two hours and we met the law fields thru which the road runs for a few miles. These fields are rough piles of lava blocks with cactus between and there is no attempt at cultivation.
