''<br /> <br /> River of Burma, called Nam Mao by the Shans, who in <br /> ancient days first established themselves in what is now Burma along <br /> the Shweh valley. The stream rises in China in the neighbourhood <br /> of Tengyiieh, and flows first in a south-westerly and then in a northerly <br /> direction past Namhkam village, through the Shan State of Mongmil <br /> and along the northern end of the Ruby Mines District into the Irra- <br /> waddy, which it reaches at a point 20 miles south of the town of <br /> Katha. The total length of the river is about 260 miles. It abounds <br /> in rapids, and is but little used for navigation, but is employed freely <br /> for floating timber. It has no tributaries of importance.</div>
