CT men on the Sugar river, a Wisconsin clans contained pearls. These were pretty, but considered of little or no value. They were merely curios prized by the finder, but without market value. After a time, however, few came to the attention of a jewelry firm in Milwaukee who had the hardihood to invest considerable money buying up the specimens the firm considered of value. About this time occurred the Worlds Columbian exposition at Ch1- cago, and here the general public was first introduced to the fresh water pearl. The finest of the pearls on exhi- bition brought $25o. That pearl cannot now be purchased for six times that price. Since then much larger and bet ter pearls have been found. One is at this moment being held by certain 6rm of jewellers for the sum of $2o, 900.
 It is with the hope of finding such pearls that the clammers start out each season to their work. And the work that is required of the pearl fish, CT certainly needs the promise of 8 large reward. The fisherman starts out in the morning in a fat-bottomed scow-like appearing boat and rows up river to the clam bed. He generally lives not far away either in tent on shore, or in houseboat. Arriving at the clam bed he drops one of the two "drags" which he carries. These drags are long bars to which are attached short strings or chains which carry the hooks. By means of a sort of under water sail the clammer obtains suffi~ cient power to propel his boat and drag the hooks over the river bottom. The clams lie with their mouths to the current and simply allow ttheir food to float to them. With everything else that comes their way they close with life-and1death grip on the hooks of the pearl fishers. Especially fine catches are made when the water is muddy after hard rain, for those are the days when the clans bite most freely. When it is thought that enough

HUNTING FOR PEARLS
New Industry of Upper Mississippi
 and Its Branches.
Fresh Water Specimens Formerly Considered Worthless Hut More Recently Have Made "Clam-
 mers" Rich.

"Clammers," lucky and unlucky ones, of former seasons together with numerous recruits, are once more busy along the upper Mississippi and it's tributaries, seeking in muddy waters the fortune for which they have not In other callings been able to claim as their own. At the first sign of the spring thaw they left the towns which are their winter headquarters and took up their abod@near the clam beds. Clamming is one of the new industries of the northwest. It was only little over a dozen years ago that some fish,

clans have been taken on the hooks the drag is lifted and placed on a stan chion on one side of the boat. From a similar stanchion on the other side of the moat the other drag is taken and the process is repeated.
 The clammer's afternoon is usually spent in camp at the extremely dis agreeable task of boiling out" The clans are placed in water in tank Then fire is kept underneath long enough to cook the meat so that it will drop out of the shell. Then the clans are shoveled onto table where the search for peaSls and the grading of the shells begins. The luck comes when a good pearl is found, but the fisherman is sensible enough to get his living from the surer profit that comes out of the shells, of which there are some 50 varieties. These are made into pearl buttons and bring from SIS to SEQ a ton.
 When a fisherman is lucky enough to find his pearl he must be shrewd enough to know it's value. Buyers Div cfe1r trade right on the scene of the fishing, and it is related that one pearl fisher sold for a paltry three dollars gem that afterwards was sold for S1,2oo. The fact is that there is for tune in pearl fishing not only for the lucky and hard-working finder, but also for the judicious buyer.

WITH THE JUSTICES.
Several cases up-Madera VS., Cushman
Given Another Airing.

The case of Raymond MADEIRA against
E. w. Cushman for freight bin paid
by MADEIRA for Cushman came up for a
rehearing before Squire Shoemaker
today. Some new evidence was pro-
duced which caused the decision to be
reversed, and Cushman is held respon-
sible for the payment to MADEIRA of
the amount $24, which MADEIRA had
paid to the railroad. 1t was shown
in the hearing this morning that Ma
dera had been acting as agent for
Cushman. The trouble originally
grew ont of a freight bill Of $24 which
was paid by MADEIRA on goods shipped
to Cushman. The latter claimed the
bill was exorbitant and refused to pay
it. MADEIRA then sued cushman, with
the result that nothing was recovered.
BY the last decision MADEIRA RECEIVERS
$24 from Cushman.
