oyster grounds in the world are off the

Here the mother-of-pearl taken from the
inside of the pearl oyster shells brings
three times as much revenue to the
fishers ass the pearls. At present the
richest pearl fisheries on the western
continent are along the southern extrem-
ity of the peninsula of Lower California,
Mexico.
Salt water is the natural home of the

Spanish word for pearl. The Spaniards
called the coast of Venezuela and that
part of South America the Pearl Coast
These Venezuelan beds were exceedingly
rich when they We're discovered by the
Spaniards in the sixteenth century, but
they were practically ruined by overflsh-
ing. Venezuela now has law which
limits both in time and place the extent
of pearl fishing. From Margarita King
Philip of Spain in 1519 is said to have
variously estimated in value at from
$40 600 to 100000.

While the pearl beds around the Pan

modern methods, including the use of

mature in from six to eight years At
the San Gabriel station. Lower California,
where this artificial propagation is car

From the fisheries Of the Gulf OF Cali

the Spanish conquest. Practically every
crown jewel collect on in Europe contains
some American pearls. The Gulf Of Cali

Partly for this reason, but principally
because it is almost impossible to keep
the natives from stealing the pearls some
vessel owners allow their employees to
keep all the pearls found and figure their
profits from the shells alone.
