Volume 11, Chapter 13, Section 12 -- Account of the Commanderies of
Malabar, Gallo, Java, and Bantam.

The principal places where gold is found are Trion and Manicabo, and
the way in which they procure the gold is as follows:They dig trenches
at the bottoms of the hills, so as to intercept the torrents which
roll rapidly down their sides in the winter months: and having drained
off the water from the ditches in summer, they find considerable
quantities of gold-dust in the mud which remains. It is generally
believed that this island furnishes annually 5000 pounds weight of
gold-dust,[6] yet very little of this quantity is ever brought to
Europe, being mostly employed by the servants of the East India
Company in making purchases of commodities in places where gold bears
a high price. 
The Dutch East India Company has long entertained a project of
building ships at this island, as its timber is so good that ships
built here are expected to last forty or fifty years, whereas those of
Europe seldom last more than twelve or thirteen years. The Dutch have
a strong fort and great factory at Jambee, and another at Siack, both
in this island. This last place is excessively unwholesome, owing to
the following circumstance, which certainly might be obviated. 
It stands on the great river Andragheira, into which, at one season of
the year, there come vast shoals of large shads, a third part of their
bulk being composed of their roes, which are accounted a great
delicacy. Wherefore, after taking these out, the rest of the fish is
thrown away, and as these lie in great heaps to corrupt, they exhale
pestilential vapours and infect the air. The persons, therefore, who
are sent to reside at Siack, are much of the same description with
those formerly mentioned as sent to Banda, being of abandoned
characters and desperate fortunes. 
There is another very considerable factory on the river Bencalis,
which produces a large profit from the sale of cloth and opium, for
which gold-dust is received in payment. This trade was discovered
about forty years ago, that is, about the year 1680, by a factor, who
carried it on privately for his own emolument for ten years, during
which he acquired upwards of a ton of gold yearly, a Dutch phrase
implying £10,000 sterling. He then resolved to secure what he had got
by making a disclosure of this valuable branch of traffic to the
company. There are also several Dutch establishments on what is called
the West-coast of Sumatra. 
A very powerful and warlike people subsists in this island, known to
Europeans by the name of the Free-nation, who are equally averse from
submitting either to the Sumatran sovereigns or Europeans, and have
always defended themselves valiantly against both. All the natives of
Sumatra are much more inclined to the English than the Dutch, perhaps
because they are not under subjection to the former. But the latter
use every precaution they can to prevent the natives from dealing with
any except themselves. 
For a considerable time past, the chiefs at Padang have been so
unlucky as to have their honesty much suspected, chiefly owing to
their management of the mines, which do not turn out greatly to the
profit of the company, while all their officers gain immense sums out
of them, which the councils at Batavia are much dissatisfied with, yet
cannot prevent. For this reason they change the chief very frequently,
yet to little purpose.

Sumber-sumber Sejarah Minangkabau yang berasal dari orang Belanda dari
abad ke-17, jelas membedakan "de Westcust(e) van Sumatra" dengan "het
land der Manicabers", yang didiami oleh "het volck der Manicabers"
dibawah naungan "de Coninck" atau "de Keyser der Manicabers", — yang
berkedudukan di "Pager Oujong".
Sedang "de inwoonderen van de Westcust van Sumatra" disebut menurut
kota atau daerah kediaman mereka "Ticco/Ticko/Ticcou, Priaman,
Oulaccan, Cottatenge, Padangh, Pauw" atau "de Bayangers, de Songy
Pagouwers, de Indrapouraers", dsb.
