FIND PEARLS IN
MUSSEL SHELLS HERE


A coal miner visited st. Louis this
week with a pearl from a mussel
shell worth $3.50. He found it
along the Mississippi River. Because
of the pearl market being low, he did
not sell. This story recalls the fact
that a local jeweler had two Mexico
men visit him recently with several
handsome pearls found in mussel
shells picked up along the beds of To-
cal creeks.
The men who had the pearls for
sale requested the matter kept secret
as they did not care to have their OPP
erations watched and others discover
their field and invade it.
In recent years some surprising
pearl finds have been made in this sec
ton and the small boy who infests
the creek banks during the summer
always searches every shell for the
fabulous pearl of history.
