PEARLS
In THIS
COUNTRY

In tho United States bushels of
pearls have been found In tho fndiaa
mounds Of tho Mississippi valley, but
they were damaged and partially DO.
composed by long centuries OF burial,
even Ia eases where they had not beon
ruined by saerideial fires, The Indians
evidently usod the unios for food, aud
were thus led 20 the discovery Of the
goma.
So far, however, as tho white set
tiers we're concerned, tho mollusks
were practically unmolested until
1887, when a pearl OF fine luster was
accidentally found In Notch brook, In
Patterson, New Jersey. II weighed
nlhetysthTee grains, and became known
as the "Queen Pearl" from tho fact
that Tiffany & Co, sold il 10 Eugenie,
The Preach empress paid only $500
for il, but il is now valued az $4,000.
Tho news OF this sale 20 royalty
created such AN excitement that not
only Notch brook, but other streams
were invaded in the most Fuinous way,
millions Of fine unios being destroyed.
That year pearls were sent 10 the
New York market from nearly every
state, their value being fully $4,000
This output gradually lessened until in
1868 only about $500 was reported
from this source. Five yeaFs after
ward, however, thore was a great re-
vivial Of interest many fine gems be-
ing found in tho Little Miami river in
Ohio. A little later, some Of the best
came from tho vicinity Of Waynesville,
Ohio, where about $4,000 worth were
eollocted in 1876. Kentucky, Tennessee
and Texas soon came into line as
among the good producers and some
hne specimens were sent from Florida.
In 1859 the rivers Of Wisconsin fur
nishea $4,000 worth Of pearls in three
months, one Of the gems being valued
at $50 During the Columbian ex,
position in 1898 in Chicago, a notable
feature in the Wisconsin state build
ing was the wondsgful exhibit Of ma
tive pearls with a great variety Of del
icato ints,
In 1897 thore was another outbreak
Of excitement on this subject; and this
time its center was in Arkansas,
especially along the Black river, and
its tributaries, a region Of small lakes
situated chiefly in White county, and
along the Arkansas river and it's tribu-
taries, from Little Rock eastward, and
also westward even into Indian Terri
tory. Arkansas pearls had been
known before, but had not attracted
special attention. 1t is said, however,
that in 1895 a surveying party in
White river had found them to the
value Of $1,000. Kansas has also
yielded some hns specimens; out Of
eleven lavender tinted gems which
