How to Open a Shell.

Introduce blade at point shown in
illustration, Press down. This
cuts one ligament With large
shells it is necessary to introduce
the blade in the other end and cut
the other ligameut before the shell
can be opened Keep the knife
blade away from the point up" as
far as possible, by keeping it near
the hinges of the shell.
Usually the pearls are seen as
soon as the inside of the shell fish is
examined with the eyes. They APP
pear either perfectly plain in view
or partly shining through a small
watery blister Generally they are
in the outside transparent part or
outer mantle of the flesh near the
shell. If no pearl is seen, examine
the flesh thoroughly with your
thumb, as before directed.
The best pearls are found in
the point of the shell near the part
marked "P' in the illustrations.
Pearls found in the flesh between
this part of the two halves of the
shell. Many pearls which have
little or no lustre and of numberless
queer shapes, but have almost no
value, are found near the hinge.
Occasiona ally somewhat better ones
are found under the ligament where
it is fastened to the shell. Some
times fine ones are found attached
to the shell. Do not break such off,
but send the whole shell with pearl
attached. The better shaped ones
are found in the flesh near the outer
edge or lip OF the shell.
AS before stated, those which are
found nearest the point are most
apt to be brightest. For this
reason you should use care in open
ing the shell so that the edge of the
knife-blade may not touch a pearl,
should one be found at this spot.
(See illustrations). You should
also use great care in opening the
shells so that the best pearls may
not be lost. Pearls are often lost
when opened while you are stand
in the water, or when the shells are
carelessly examined and thrown
aside. Do not let a small fortune
slip through your fingers because
of a little carelessness.
After the flesh is examined as di-
rected, the shell is thrown aside
and new one cut open and ex-
amined in the same manner. This
is continued with patience, remem-
boring, that while every ten to fifty
shells contain some sort of worth
less pearl, that only about one in
every thousand contains a salable
pearl, and only one in ten salable
pearls is of much value. But as

man can open from ] 800 to 5000
per day, it is readily TO be seen.
that the work IS quite renumera-
tive.
Remember that the value is not
in the trash found everfew minutes,
but 1t is in the occasional fine pearl
which it takes a few days to find,
but which brings money enough to
pay for weeks or months of labor.
Remember also, that while a man
may work for several DAYS and OBJ
tain no reward, that the next shell
may bring him from FIVE to one
thousand dollars. / know a boy
whose find of many small pearls
amounted to S68000 in three weeks.
The next three weeks he worked in
the same spot and had only one
5O-cent pearl. Many S1,00O.0O
pearls are found each year, and
vast numbers of $4,000 ones.
lately paid slips 90 for a pearl.
Perseverance wins IN all things.
Nothing is obtained without labor.
You will find that pearl search
Will pay you an average of
fully three times as much as any
other form of labor, while the seas
on lasts. 1t is well to get several
others to go to the river with you at
the same time, because when a
dozen or more go at once some one
of you is sure to find a good pearl
in few hours. The sight of this
pearl will encourage the others to
keep at it until they get their first
good pearl. After that they are
sure that good ones are there, aud
each day and season will return to
the river to win a rich reward.
Remember, also, that the work
can be done in odd hours, and even
when no other work offers. 1t re-
quires no tools and no experience
justine least bit of patience. For
this reason the gentler sex make ex-
cellent fishermen. In many local
tiles women constantly search the
streams and daily send valuable
pearls to the market.
If you favor me any time BY visit
TO my Office (and l shall welcome
you) l will show you among many
other interesting things some
photographs of stream in Arkan-
sas. These were taken Just
after several thousand dollar
pearls had been discovered in a.
few days. In these photographs
there are over 500 people searching
in the shallow water, which varies
from few inches TO feet in depth.
Standing in this water, you will
see people from a small black ne
gro boy to the best dressed and
weathiest men aud women of the
community. They include the Pres
ident of the local bank, and the
wife and daughter of the Circuit
Judge of that Judicial Circuit. I
daily receive many, pany dollars
worth of pearls from that spot, and
it's output has been Increasing year

He left orders at Treadwell that every
thing should be at the disposal of the

Among the first of the survivors to

Many prominent Dawsonites were

drowned.
One of the passengers told the story
that the Captain became insane when
he came up from the saloon and saw
that his ship was sinking. He filed

the men not to lower the boats, plung'

Wreck Of the Islander
From Last Thursdays Extra. "

From Last Thursdays Extra.
The British steamer Islander, of the
Canadian Pacific Navigation company,
we'll known to all old timers on the
Coast, lies helpless mass of shattered
wreckage at the lower end of Douglas
Island.
She struck a submerged iceberg at
2:10 this morning and Immediately be-
gan to fill. AS she sank the water
came in over the boilers and terrible
explosion followed.
The islander left Skagway about $50
p. m. yesterday, having passenger list
of about 125 souls, besides the officers
and crew numbering about 60
At 1:35 o'clock this morning Capt.
Foote set the course and made his en-
try on the log.
The night was clear, and after taking
a turn on the bridge, the Captain went
down to the saloon, where he and a
number Of others were having lunch
when the steamer struck.
The boat was turned toward the
beach, but she seemed to be completely
paralyzed. The steering gear would
not work, nor could any Roadway be
gained.
Realizing the danger, Capt. Foote
called for the boats to be lowered, and
as the vessel began to lurch and sink,
stopped the engines and devoted all his
energies to getting his passengers across
the quarter of mile of water to the
shore of Douglas Island.
At go a m, twenty minutes after
striking the iceberg, the boilers went
up, and in a few seconds the once
proud ship was torn to pieces and her
passengers aud crew were struggling
for their lives in the icy waters of the
channel.
The scene then enacted is one that
will stay in the minds of the survivors
as long as they live.
About 10 people reached the beach
in safety. Five bodies were washed
ashore with the first rush-four adults
and little girl. A pitiful sight was
the little four-year old girl, clinging to
a broken door. A life preseryer was
tied around her, and when picked up
her little hands were clinched around
the edges of the door with death
grip.
The news of the disaster was brought
to Treadwell by the chief engineer, who
with the mate and five men came up in
row boat, reaching Treadwen at 8
o'clock.
Supt. Macdonald Immediately dis
patched the Flosie and the Lucy to the
rescue; in fact accompanying them in

when it upset, and the Captain disap-
peared.
A number of women were among the
passengers and they are supposed to
have all been saved but one.
The ship sunk in about so fathoms of
water.
The survivors were taken to Juneau
on the steamer Flosie.
This is the most appalling disaster in
the history of navigation in Southeast
ern Alaska.
