Paz before the French war of interven-
ton and they have always been in
great demand since the time of Cortez.
In 1858 an American ambassador to the
court of Spain said that he had seen
pearls of the size of q plover's egR

try, and that they were esteemed rs
among the most valuable Of the Spanish
Jewels. 5~i3 @;-5 ','-

of these are sufficient to pay all the ex-
penses of the fishing and the pearl 10 a
net gain when found. Several years
ago it was quite problem to find some
use for the pearl oyster shells, and they
accumulated rapidly on the hands Of
their owners. But now they are sent
to Europe, whence they are returned to
America In the form Of buttons, knife.
handles and several other articles. The
traveller who should expect to drive
good bargains at Ia Paz or Guaymas in

cheaper in New York and Paris than at

cause their production is lesser and
more regular. At present the black
pearls are held in greater esteem than
the white ones, although they are much
