Alaskan Story.

Man Af:or Whom 1t Is Named Tells AZ
Alaskan Story.
Mr.. John Muir, the d%iscoverer of the
great Muir glacier, writes of "The
Alaska Trip in the Century. MI.
Muir says of the glacier that bears
his name: The number Of bergs given
off varies somewhat with the weather
n he tides. For twelve consecutive
hours l counted the Number discharged
that were large enough to make them
selves heard like thunder at a distance
OF a mile or two, and found the average
rate to be II in five or six minutes.
The thunder Of the largest may be
heard, under favorable circumstances,
ten miles or more. When a large mass
sinks from the uppeY assured portion
OF the wall, there is first a keen, pierre
ing crash, then a deep, deliberate, long
ora"n-out. laundering roar, which
slowly subsidies into a comparatively
low, far-reaching, muttering growl;
then come a crowd of grating, clashing
sounds from the agitated bergs that
dance in the wave of the newcomer.
as IT in welcome, and these again are
followed by the swash and roar of the
berg-wayes as they reach the shore and
break among the boulders. But the
largest and most beautiful of the bergs,
instead Of falling from the exposed
weathered portion of the wall, rise
from the submerged portion with a/still
grander commotion, heaving aloft
nearly to the top of the wall with aw-
full roaring, tons of water streaming
like hair down their sides, while they
heave and plunge again and again he
fore they settle in poise and sail away
as blue crystal islands, free at last aft
er being held fast as part of a slow
crawling glacier for centuries. And
how wonderful it seems that the ice
formed from pressed snow on the
mountains two or three hundred years
ago should, after all it's toll and travel
in grinding down and f%ashioning the
face of the landscape, still remain pure
and fresh and lovely in color! When
the sunshine is pouring and sitting in
iris colors through the midst of all this
wilderness of angular crystal ice. and
through the grand, 1~ame-shaped lets
and sheets of radiant spray ever rising
from the blows of the falling bergs, tho
effect is indescribably glorious.

Talk of

One of the most prominent Of the
Would-be record breakers says: 81 do
not want to go for it, and l am sure
that the others have given up the idea.
10 my mind McDuf1e is the only man
that has the slightest show at present.
In 90 America had the hour records up
to and including t~wenty-four hours,
and also the mile record of the world.
England and France took the middle
and long distance marks and kept them
for the time intervening. America has
now imported some of the best riders
from over the pond, and possesses, as
the result, all the middle distance
marks except the hour against time,
most of the mile marks in which Mi
chael cut into in his competition race.
England has the mile record at a safe
figure, and it is a question whether
American riders will regain that mark
tor some years to come. OF the crack
elders John S. Johnson has beaten
Cooper and L%oughead each once, and
hat is all. But Johnson is now in
orm, and from this time on his record
will be an altogether different one.
Johnson himself is confident of this,
and, being under the care Of Billy
Young, he feels that all is in favor Of
his prediction"

10 his wife about two months ago, to
winch she replied: 1T will be a long
time before he is big enough to ride
IT. He is a fine big youngster, and
MS rather thought he might learn to
ride despite his tender age. And it
turned out as Mr.. Gilroy predicted. The
little wheel was finished about six
weeks ago, and in five days the little
prattler was able to ride from Twenty
sixth street to Sixty-seventh street, to
the home OF his aunt. It was a proud
DAY for him when he pedaled all the
way to his relatives home. His ma
chlne is a rather cumbersome thing for
SO small a one, weighing eighteen
pounds; yet this fact seems to make no
difference, for it's rider propels it as il
1t required no effort at all. "Nixy"
himself weighs forty pounds, and his
little legs measure only fifteen inches,
which fact will give a good idea of his
size. The little fellows greatest feat
on the wheel lies in his ability to ride
safely through the honeycomb passages
IN the cellar of the apartment house.
Inc passages are narrow and break in
sharp angles in several directions.
Milky" rides in all of these, turning the
sharp angles without touching the walls
or falling off. Fol one of his age he il

state, and in some places half the pop
nlatlon have been industriouslv dig
glng mussels in the hope of sudden
wealth, while the rest of the country
mas been agitating itself on the sub
Ject OF dollar wheat. A New York dia-
mona broker recently exhibited a yerv
large pearl which he'd been sent to
MN from the Arkansas field. just what
part OF it he refused to say.
The stone is II Of the finest speci-
mems OF the "sweetwater' variety ever
seen in Now York. 1t is PERFECTLY
formed oval in shape, of a pure white
ana weighs 50 grains. It is valued at
S9oO. Another broker recently re-
celved a consignment of Arkansas
pearls, which included a pink pearl
weighing 26 grains. 1t is worth not
more than $500, however on account
OF a slight blemish on one side Manv
smaller pearls have come from the
same region within a week or two and
there is talk of a New York company
to work some of the Arkansas pearl
lakes. 1t is possible, however, that
they will be late in the field, as a
Memphis company has already leased
one OF the most promising lakes for a
term of five years for $4,000, and in
dlVldual spectators have obtained con
troll Of several others.
The Klondike excitement is not to
be compared with the enthusiasm in
northern Arkansas we the recent
finds of pearls. At Helena and Little
Rock family parties are going out to
camp along the river and hunt for
pearls. Most of these parties have
found only small stones, but one wom-
an picked up a pink pearl worth $50,
and two small boys who were looking
for CLANS and not for pearls found
two stones which they sold for s25
apiece. Most of the valuable finds,
however, have been made in the lakes
and ponds, which are controlled by
private individuals Or companies. In
some places the owners have had to
stand guard with shotguns to keep off
the enthusiastic pearl seekers, who
have been accustomed to hunt CLANS
The Black Hills union. [volume] (Rapid City, Pennington County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1889-1904, 1897-11-05

in considerable numbers. One of
these is the Wisconsin lake region,
where the stones have been found for
several years past. In these lakes and
streams the water is perfectly clear,
and the shells are obtained by wading
and diving. Several New York dealers
say that they have had stones of con-
siderable value from the Wisconsin
fields, n some thousands of dollars
have been taken out of the lakes and
streams of this region within the past
few years., though there is no system
atized effort to carry on the work such
as is to be made in Arkansas.
The other field where pearls have
been found recently is in the Grasse
river, in northern New York. Three
years ago an Adirondack guide exhib-
tied to a New Yorker for whom he was
working a half-dozen smooth white
stones that he had taken from clans
Which he dug up for bait. The New
York man was convinced that they
were pearls and took them back to the
city with him. A few weeks later the
StlNC was iSi I'LL SCdl " e
ceive $500 for what he had considered
a worthless find. Since then the ma
tives along the Grasse have spent their
spare time in hunting clans and have
found a large number of gems. One
found last year weighed over fifty
grains n brought $500. N. G. Rowe,
of Russell, a little town on the Grasse,
has devoted his time to pearl hunting
for the past two years and has found
$4,000 worth. His largest gem, the
most valuable that has been taken from
this section, weighed sixty-eight grains
and sold for $500.
In the Grasse river district the pearls
are found under different conditions
from those of either Arkansas or Wis
%consin, as the CLANS are found in the
swift shadows Of the Adirondack
stream. The pearl fisher has a special
outfit consisting of a rubber suit and
a sort of abbreviated divers mask,
which is strapped to his head. This
mask is simply a ]i"ht wooden box
with a glass in front Of the eyes. When
this is immersed in water the hunter
can clearly scan the rocky bottom, and
can find the mussels which he could
not get by feeling for them, as they
do in the Arkansas mud. The novices
open all the clans they find, but the
more experienced hunters can tell by
the appearance of a shell whether it
is likely to contain a stone, and throw
back all but the most promising ones.
Some pearls have recently been found
in northern Georgia. and the whole
subject appeals to the government as
SO important that Prof. Ellsworth Call,
of the Smithsonian institution, has
been directed to investigate the differ
ent fields and report upon them

phur and iron, which gives the water
a decidedly unpleasant yellowish tinge.
The places in which pearls have thus
far been discovered are Murphy and
Walker lakes, Cross lake. Sulphur and
Four-mile ponds and the creeks flow
ing into them. These are all in the
Bald Knob country southwest of Men,
phis.
Several Memphis citizens have in
vested one in~leases III White couTl-
ty, and the concern already referred to
Will make an organized effort to de-
velop the industry in the lakes and
ponds which it controls. This company
has already taken out several hundred
dollars worth of pearls, but so far
the work has all been done by negro
dlggers and divers. who are paid 81
per day for their services. On account
OF the color Of the water they have to
feel for the clans, which are buried in
the mud, with their hands or bare feet,
and so a work effectively only in
shallow places. AS soon as machinery
can be put in, however, the bottom of
the lakes, including the deeper parts,
will be thoroughly dregded. and it is
expected that more satisfactory re-
suits will be obtained. 1t is the theory
Of the Memphis men who are backing
the enterprise that the mussels oc-
~casionally shed their pearls. and that
others that have died still contain the
gems, and will be found buried deep
down in the mud at the bottom of the
lakes.
1t is possible, too, that the manufac-
ture OF mother of pearl will be started
to utilize the shells, as is done in
lower California, from whence most of
the pearl used in buttons for our waist
coats and dresses now comes. Mother
Of pearl, it may be explained is simply
inside lining of the shell, which is cut
up and used for buttons and orna-
ments.
Instances of rich finds are reported
every few days from Bald Knob or the
adjoining country. A few days ago a
negro who gave his nam as Harris
walked into a Memphis jewelry store
oi'N CAliUlleu a Slldl! DaS OF pearls.
Most Of the stones were small. and
worth not more than 81 or S. each, but
there were a few of larger size, includ-
ing one or two pink pearls of very good
! quality. An offer Of $500 was made
for the lot. The negro held out for
more, and finally accepted $3.50. He
said that he had worked for a month
and had opened thousands of shells to
get the stones. He acknowledged that
he was from clown White county
way but refused to tell where he had
found the gems. as he said that there
were more in the same place, and he
was going back after them.
A man named Deale in Bald Knob
sent a dozen pearls to New York, and
has received an offer of $500. He found
them all in the cours of a week.
