FRESH WAT-R PEARLS
Supply Comes MilnIy From
SOL thern S .dteS

A high lustre white pearl worth 81
100 has been found in Iowa. Forty
years ago a fresh-water pearl as
arge was found in New Jersey and
was sold for 81, 900 in Paris.
In 1898 fine pink pearls were found
IN Kentucky. Tennessee and Texas
10 the value of $40, 900. In 1897
there was great excitement over the
discovery of fine pearls in consider
able numbers in Saline. France and
White rivers in Arkansas.
A few weeks ago pearls were found
in Wisconsin. the largest of which
sold for SLIGO. Fresh-water pearls
nave been found in other states,
out if correctly described in the dis
patches the Iowa pearl is one OF the
most valuable white pearls produced

Since the button manufacturers be-
gan TO use mussel and other shells
IN their work. a sloser lookout for
fresh-water pearls has been kept,
aLi more have been found. But in
no case has the finding justified the
theory that the existence of one pearl
in a river bed indicated that pearl
fishing in that locality would be pro-
htable.
There is. however. a fair supply
of fresh-water pearls for the American
market, coming mainly. in previous
years, from the Southern states. 1t is
now coming mainly from the Western
