VALUE OF RIVERS
PEARLS S5O0,000
MIsslsslPPPs GEMS ARE SOLD AS
oRlENTALs in PARIS AND
LONDON MARKETS.

Muscatine, Oct. 29.-Pearls valued
at least half million dollars have
been taken from the upper Mississippi
clam beds, during the season just com.
ing to q close, according to reports
from the east.
Western dealers have been TAX
ing to Maiden Lane some OF the finest
fresh water pearls ever seen there.
The pearling season on the upper is
near its close because OF the approach
Of cold weather, and 80 the fishermen
who have been gathering pearls for
months, are hurrying them to New
York for the holiday trade.
The value of the pearls found in
the Mississippi and it's tributaries
since the fishing began last spring IL
estimated at $500,O00 or more, Maiden
Lane dealers assert that the American
pearls are sold as Orientals In Paris
and London and that returning tour
lists are regularly paying duties on
Mississippi river pearls which they
buy abroad.
The better results obtained by hsh-
ermen this year are said to be due to
more careful methods which the
Maiden Lane dealers have been urging
upon the clammers. Formerly many
valuable pearls we're ruined because
the mussels were thrust into boiling
waten to open the shells, and the
pearls dropping to the bottom OF the
boiler were burned Now double boil
ers are used to prevent the burning OF
any pearls.
A machine has been devised to
search the flesh Of the mussel. For
merly the clammers did it by hand and
overlooked valuable pearls, some OF
which we're subsequently found In
chicken coops and pigsties, as the
mussels after the search are COM
monty thrown to chickens and pigs
as food.
The highest price paid this season
for single pearl was $4,000 which
one Of the wholesale dealers gave for
round one of pink tint weighing fifty
grains. It was found in the Illinois
river. A cream white round pearl.
forty.two grains, from the same river
brought $4,000.
M asto don's Tooth Found at Denison.
Denison, Oct. 20. -Diggers In the
sand pit adjoining town to the south
found this week the tooth Of a mas
tcdon or similar large animal.
The tooth is we'll preserved ana
still encased in part of the nam

and decaying. but the tooth seem as
hard as flint. The grinding surface OF
the tooth is 1Ox5 inches, and is OF oval
shape From the surface to- the top Is
ten inches.
Huge bones have been found before
in the pit where the tooth was taken
from, and 1t is evident that the re-
mains OF prehistoric animal are rest
ing there.
