ped with a line of boats built especial
| ly for fishing on the Mississippi AMI
| equipped with suitable machinery for
| the pearl-bearng oyster.
| Pearl fishing in it's inception was
an accident and now it is a gamble.
The industry had its beginning in
the discovery of few valuable pearls
! among the tons of clam shells that
were annually dug out of the lower
Mississippi to supply the demand Of
| buttons.
At one time ton of clam shells
| brought IS on the shore. Then the
| price dropped as the result of a glut-
| ted market, and nothing but the fact
| that pearls were occasionally found
| among the shells kept the shell IN
| dustry from petering out completely.
AT the present time the shell indus
| try is a side issue. The men, and
women, too, who are to be seen along
the whole length of the river between
| ST Paul and Prairie du Chen INDUS
| triously dredging for the hard shelled
moliusks are pearl hunters first and
| shell gatherers afterwards. They can
get from 81 to SO a ton for the shells,
but they can get from 81 to SO an
ounce for the smallest, most imper-
| feet stones-they call them baroques
down the river-and they can get al
most fabulous prices for the best
| pearls.
And any fisherman, without regard
to his skill or previous experience,
stands a good chance of striking 1t
rich at any time by bringing up pelarl
| of great price. In fact, that is where
| the gamble comes in. William Bates,
| he of the $4,000 stone of recent find
| ing. fished for several seasons with
/, just ordinary luck, and then he gave
added zest to the game by bringing UP
the grandfather Of all the Mississippi
pearls.
And IL pearl fishing is a gamble most
of the members of the craft are gam
blers from the ground up. Week in
at his work, bringing UP bushel upon
bushel of clans and eagerly looking
over every mollusk in the hope of find
| ing "a big fellow"
Slugs and baroques are found In
small numbers every day, and it is the
sum total of days catch of these
small pearls that makes up the fisher
mans earnings from one seasons end
to the other. But the hope of finding a
stone that will bring many hundreds
and possibly thousands Of dollars is
| what keeps him at the work, and a
psychological anlysis of his motives in
keeping at the game shows that it is
no less the prospect of a sudden find"
that will mako him rich beyond the
dreams of avarice than it is the ex-
element that springs like hope eternal
| in the human breast when the element
of chance is present.

1t is gratifying to know that strained
relations between Congressman Hub
bard and progressive republicans Of
his district have been SO far adjusted
as to clearly foreshadow unanimous
denomination. Ebert H. Hubbard has
for many years been strong in the con-
fidence and affectionate regard ofrtla"
district. 1t was more in sorrow than
in anger that his retirement was eve:
considered. He grew popular by his
frankness and by his unaffected cam
dor he has won back the united sup
port of his district. 1t may be said in
fairness to all that 1t was difficult to
realize the embarrassment attending
the paths of duty trod by Mr.. Hub
bard in the recent campaign, and
straightforward communication within
the past two weeks has done much to
recement old relationship. The Bea-
con is pleased to unqaulitiedly endorse
the wisdom and the conciliatory spirit
which has restored harmony between
the worthy congressman and his
people.

UTOPb. IN ACTION.

New Zealand, a group of islands
southwest Of Australia, claimed by
Capt. Cook for Great Britain a few
years before the breaking out of the
American revolution, settled in 1914,
colonized in 1888 and used for years as
a penal settlement, and established as
a separate government in 1S4S, is the
show place Of socialism. 1t covers an
area practically equal to that of Colo
RADIO, has population of about a mill
lion and is the best example of gov
eminent allied to socialistic princi-
pies.
In a paper read recently in London
by the agent general of New Zealand.
the so-called socialistic legislation of
that island in 1891 and it's results were
discussed, with the result of showing
that New Zealands. socialism consisted
not in destroying the institution of
private property, but in regulating its
use to an extent not known in any
other civilized country. Democracy in
New Zealand had tended strongly to
state socialism, but had stopped short
of the extreme demands of theorists.
New Zealand, for example, does not in
tervene in the field of private enter
prise. It does not manufacture or
compete with or displace private pro-
ducers. But 1t does interfere in the
way of inspecting and regulating pri-
waite Industry. Large holdings of land
are discouraged Still, some 100000
acres are in freehold and other areas
are held on leases from the, natives
or of the crown.
There is graduated income tax,
state arbitration in trade disputes,
state insurance, pensions, of $3.50
week to persons of IS or over, local OPP
4tion and advancement of money to set
tiers. Lockouts and strikes are for
hidden. Women have the suffrage and
exercise it. but without producing any
marked result in good or evil. The wo-
men vote more generally than the men
and do not lose interest in their use
Of the ballot. New Zealand. in short,
exhibits democracy in it's EXTREMIST
form, equality of opportunity being en-
forced without festriction on account
Of sex and with a disposition to pre-
vent wealth from becoming larger IN
one mans case than in another's.

STILL SHOOTING In THE REAR.
Rannhlinan j

Right after the convention Dave
Brant, in the Iowa City Republican,
while coming almost up to the limit OF
betting the ticket, left a loop hole to
get back in again by stating that he
would make more specific statement
later on AS a matter of fact, what he
has already done since the convention
has been worse for the convention than
a clean cut announcement that the
Iowa City Republican would support
the democratic ticket. He has been
giving the democratic ticket the sup
port which will do it the most good.
In q recent editorial the Republican
says:
Three courses are open to republic
cans.
the Cummins machine as Hubbard has
done
Second, retire gracefully and let the
Cummins men run things.
Third, refuse to recognize any bind
ing force in nominations of Cummins
and Garst, as brought about by rank
fraud, and get down and clean up the
entire combination. The defeat OF
Cumnins and Garst would end Cum
minsism in Iowa.
Against the latter the Cummins
crowd is calling for consideration of
the congressman and it is vehemently
declared that the head of the ticket
cannot be beaten unless the entire
ticket, including county officers. will
be beaten. This is rank nonsense.

Market Strong;
 Stocks in Demand.
 The market started out for the week with prices advauyea over those of Saturday, but while the morning trading was at advanced figures, the after noon witnessed considerable fuctuation. This was to be sx- pected after so sharp a turn the better during the past three days. in some instances the closing figures for today aIe q little below the close for last week, and 1t may be that there will be a further drop tomor- row, in which event We would advise purchases.
 Prices for the Bonanzas have dropped during the past three weeks far under intrinsic mer- it's, and for those that will buy now and wait for the advance the market at present offers great opportunities.

BISBEE. May 7.-Today's market was somewhat disappointing to many, especially to holders of Junction. At the opening of the market there was a heavy demand for stock at good prices, Junction included. It was eagerly sought after at s27, but no sooner had this bid price come on the market than there was all kinds Of stock offered from eastern markets, and soon took the strength away from her; at the close it had been onered freely in large blocks, at s26. Calumet & Pittsburg. however, held up well and at the close they were bidding S29.50 and being offered at s30. Lake Superior & Pittsburg was also in good demand at s35 at the close, some changing hands ar $S5. Warren held well during the day and at the close it had been offered at SIG.
 North Butte took on big advance at the close, and it has been reported the coming dividend would be ln- creased. This stock jumped from $S7 So S92 during the last half hour of the Boston exchange. Cochise is being offered at s5.37, with very few buyers in the market. Shattuck is being sought after in small blocks at s3S.50.

KNIGHTS IN DOUG LAS WALKER COMING HERE
NOTED AUTHOR cF COPPER LET TER IN DOUGLAS NEXT
 WEEK.

DOUGLAS, May z. - (Special)-
 George L. Walker, editor Of the Bos- ton Commercial, is in Arizona on a tour of mining inspection and investi- gation. He will arrive in Douglas in the next few days. Famed for the ex- celience and reliability of his copper letters. Walker will receive a hearty welcome in Douglas as elsewhere in the territory.
 Arriving at Lordsburg yesterday. Mir. Walker proceeded to Clifton. From thence he goes to Morenci From that city of many hills the Boston ex- pert will go to Globe. After a brief large Gila county propositions, Mir Walker will come to Douglas, going from here to BiSbce, and then to Hell vetia. Concluding his visit in this section of the copper belt, his itin- erary leads through Utah.
 It is doubtful if any author who ever wrote in Boston has produced any thing that is so widely read as the Copper Letter. The letter, as it's name indicates, is devoted to the subject of copper, and treats of the market of the metal, it's price, production, prob- able production and probable price, the stock market, and devotes consid- erable space to matters of interest re- garding the various mines and compa. nies producing copper. As the pro- duction of copper is one of the great industries of the modern day. is so widely distributed and so many peo- pie are interested in Mir Walkers let ters, it is not surprising that they are widely read.
 In order to get in actual touch with many of the properties that he writes about. Mir. Walker is making the west ern trip. At Clifton he will look at the Shannon, the stock of which con- pany is on the active stock market, as we'll as the Arizona and Detroit properties, which are not of so much interest, as their stocks are not dealt in on the Boston stock market.
