which formerly had its headquarters
Iowa Falls, comes up for hearing at
the September term of the federal
court and promises to be lively con-
test. The gold mining company,
which was a twin sister to the Iowa
Lillooet which is again involved in
litigation in British Columbia, asks
the sum of s69,9s9 Of the bank and
claims that the plaintiff company
made demands on the bank for over
$4,000, and that payment was denied
on the grounds of want of funds"
The bank, through it's attorneys. has
filed lengthy answer to the petit
ton Of the plaintiff and denies any
obligations of the company In an
swering more fully the demands for
the payment Of the $4,000 check, the
bank states that the mining compa-

check was drawn. presented and cam
celled before the institution of this

ers have been cancelled and surrend-
cred. Some Of the best attorneys in
Iowa have been employed by both

FOUND $1,000 PEARL.
Dubuque Man Picks Jewel Out Of An
Inferior Shell.

Dubuque, Iowa. Aug. 31.-A fifty
seven grain pearl, almost as
large in size as five-cent piece and
of rose pink lustre, was taken from
the Mississippi river just south of the
Mulgrew ice house at Dubuque by H.
+. Smice. The value of the pearl de-
ponds largely upon it's condition after
1t has been submitted to the peeling
process as 1t is known to be of the
"'peeling" variety.
Ordinarily the value of a stone of
its size and lustre would be $1,500. The
thin outer shell of the gem contains
depressions and is otherwise defect
i've. The lustre is superb and the ultra
fashionable color, pink, adds greatly to
it's value. The fortunate finder of the
pearl took it to a Dubuque jeweler,
who pronounced it to be of great value,
provided it developed after the outer
or defective surface had been removed
The peeling process will be resorted
to at once and the true value OF the
find will soon be positively known.
1t Is the opinion Of the jeweler who
examined 1t, that the stone will work
out we'll, and In this event, it's values
will be somewhat over a $1,000 dollars.
