Hunting the Treasures.

Helena, Ark, Sept. 5. - The pearl
hunting industry, which has been ex-
citing the whole country, is spreading
all over this end of the state. The St.
Francis river, from the mouth Of the
river to Jeffersonville, is lined with
white people and negroes, all engaged
in unearthing and prying open the
richly laden mussel shells. One young
man brought a small bottle of pearls
to Helena, taken from Phillips bayou,
tributary to the st. Francis. They
are no darker in color than the ordi-
nary pearls Of commerce, but are hand
somer shaped and of good size. All OF
the chain Of lakes in the hitherto inn
penetrable st. Francis river bottoms
are full of these pearl bearing mussels,

BILE the whole country will presently
be engaged in the business to the detri'
ment of crop growing.

american Iron In Europe" is the
subject of several reports from United
States consuls, published by the de-
partment of state. Mr.. George F..
Parker, consul at Birmingham, Eng
land, writes that for six months or
more steel has been imported from the
United States into Wales for use in
the tin plate trade, and that in jan
uary 1000 tons of steel billets were
shipped from Philadelphia for deliv.
cry in Birmingham. Editorial articles
in the Birmingham Post discuss the
conditions which make the importa.
ton of American steel possible.
Among these conditions are the facts
that in England for some time prices
of iron and steel have been steadily
rising under the influence of improved
demand, and that in the United States
they have been falling, due to the
commercial depression. There is moth
ing new, says the Post. in the impor.
tation of American pig iron, which can
be produced now at prices with which
England and Scotch smelters cannot
pretend to compete. American pig
iron has lately been introduced into
the Triest (Austrian) market, accord
ing to a report from Mr.. ]. G. Hag.
gard, the British consul at that port
at prices with which British iron can.

What is said to be the greatest oil
discovery ever made is reported from
Alaska. Some gold prospectors several
months ago ran across what seemed to
be lake of oil. The lake was fed by
innumerable springs, and the sur
rounding mountains were full of coal.
They brought samples to Seattle, and
tests proved it to be of as high grade
as any ever taken out of Pennsylvania
wells. A local company was formed
and experts sent up. They have re-
turned on the steamer Topeka and
their report has more than borne out
first reports. It is said there is enough
oil and coal in the discovery to supply
the world. It is close to the ocean, in
fact the experts say that the oil oozes
out into the salt water. 1t is said that
the Standard Oil company has already
made an offer for the property. The
owners have filed on 5000 acres. and
are naturally very much excited over
their prospects for fortune.
