PEARLING IN ~
WHITE RIVER.
“Pearling has not entirely sub
sided in White river,” said Dr.
Putnam Dickinson of Des Arc
Wednesday. There is, however, a
marked decrease in the industry,
and the active operations now
are confined almost exclusively
to shell-gathering and the ship-*
ping of the shells to the button
factories. A year or two ago it
was a common thing to see as
many as thirty or forty boats in
the vicinity of Des Arc, the crews
engaged in pearling.
At present the river is too high
to admit of successful operations,
but the fact is that the -mussel
beds have been practically ex
hausted. In the lower White
river there has never been any
highly remunerative pearling,
the most valuable pearls having
been found higher up in the
stream. The biggest find in our
section was in a bayou between
White and Cache rivers. A
negro boy found a shell in shal
low water, and opening it dis
covered a pearl oi unusual size.
It was taken to Newport by the
boy’s father and sold for $1,400.
Many pearls ranging in value
from $2 to $50 have been found,
but the rare specimens, such as
that taken out by the negro boy,
have been few and far between
in our section.
The shell industry will proba
bly be resumed when the river
fails, but the extent to which it
will be engaged in will depend
upon the demand for shells at
the button factories. Last year
the demand was not heavy, and
the operations were consequently
limited. I understand that of
late pearlers have met with some
success in lower White river, and
no doubt within a month or two
that portion of the stream will
be crowded with fortune-seek
ers.”—Little Rock Gazette.
“A LIFE’S MISTAKE.”
Which will have its first pre
sentation in this city at the opera
house next Saturday evening,
March 12th, is a play from the
book of the same name by the
well known English author,
Charles Garvice. In putting the
story in play form, however, it
has been deemed best to bring
the characters to America, and
give them an American atmos
phere. This has been done, but
nothiner of the story has been
lost. It only adds interest to it
for an audience in our own coun
try. Books, of course, are writ
ten to read, and it is not every
author of a book who looks be
yond for stage possibilities as he
writes. For this reason it is
often the case that the dramatist
gets little more than an inspira
tion from the book when he
writes a play, but in the present
case the original story will readi
ly be recognized in the play.
No one who has ever read the
story will forget the morphine
fiend, a study in itself. For the
interpretation of this play we
are given the promise of a most
excellent company of players, dtd
