Darkhan

Transliteration of Mongolian Дархан (Darxan).

translit

In the towns that lay next on our itinerary, the Soviet-Mongolian partnership was much in evidence. In Darkhan, for example, founded just 20 years ago on the open grasslands, we saw the factories that provide 15 percent of Mongolia's total G.N.P.; they had been built by Russians and East Europeans. At the city hall, Mayor Tumurkhoyag told us proudly that his town was an example to all developing countries. Not the least among the achievements he cited was the development of two of Mongolia's five world champions in free-style wrestling, which, along with horsemanship and archery, is a national sport. Yet about half of Darkhan's population of 60,000 live in small wooden houses and yurts that are heated by wood and coal, with outside toilets.

1908, Lawrence Dundas, 2nd Marquess of Zetland, A Wandering Student in the Far East, volume 1, William Blackwood and Sons, page xiii:

The reconstruction of the Tokyo-Shimonoseki section is of importance and ought to be done, not only because it forms a great artery of Japan, but also because it is the line which, when the Mukden-Antung standard-gauge railway is completed next November, will form part of the world’s railway highway, conveying passengers via Chosen and South Manchuria, with only 10 hours’ sea transportation, northward (Shimonoseki to Fusan) to Harbin, where the Siberian Railway is reached and the railway journey may be continued to Europe. Along this route the mails are now carried over the 2½ feet gauge mountain railway between Antung and Mukden, and thence to Harbin.

1915, Robert P. Porter, Japan, the New World-power, Oxford University Press, page 466:

In 1905, after the battles of Tsushima and Mukden, it became clear to impartial observers that Russia could accomplish nothing further at sea, and Japan could accomplish nothing further on land.
