There Is only one pearl farm In the

northern extremity of Australia. and
belongs TO James Clark, of Queensland.
Mr.. Clark. who is known as 1.-The king

il with Il hundred and fifty thousand
pearl oysters. Now 1.5OO men-2OO OF

employed in harvesting the crop.

Spondent of the Melbourne Age. Il
began In small way, and have given
the fisheries my close attention during
all this time. My experience has led
me to the belief that, with proper intel

can raise pearls and pearl shells as
easily as one can raise oysters.
Il started my farm three years ago,
and have stocked ii with shells which

however, according to my experience
thus far. the water must not be too
deep.
MY pearishell farm covers 5.Os9
square miles. over most of 1t the wa

attain the create size; and besides it
is hard on the divers to go down deep
for them.
Il ship my pearls to London in my

runs. roughly speaking, from $500, 600
worth up to almost five times that
amount"
