This is a question which is being
widely discussed by clammers in
their "shanty" boats tied UP for the
winter along the edges of Lake Pep

pearls found have not been large,
and in-the majority of cases general
ly known along the upper river, the
finds have been mostly buttons and
slugs which were sold by the ounce
to New York buyers who suually
visit the clammers at least once
each year.
. The amount of money taken out
OF the upper river in pearls each
year is undetermined. Only the buy

The well-in formed on upper river
subjects estimate the amount from
as low as $4,000 to as high as $780,

There are about 700 families en-
gagged in claiming between Winona
and st. Paul. Some Of them have
homes and live in one town the year
around, but the majority dwell in
households that may be moved over
night, and wander up and down the
upper river, especially around the
water of Lake Pepin. ~.
