The Mississippi river and its tributaries along Minnesota Wisconsin shores yield prized pearls amid a growing freshwater pearl industry. William Bates of Red Wing earned about 76000 dollars from a single Bates pearl, while others seek baroque stones and rare colors, making pearl fishing a high stakes gamble.

Copperas Levee Work Continues Under Stevens Contract
The Copperas Creek levee project proceeds as contractor Stevens fulfills the 60 by 6 foot ditch plan. An injunction failed to compel new work, and a new land assessment will fund final completion after Stevens finishes excavating. Previous assessments totaled 11,000 dollars with 2,700 spent on right of way and fees, delaying completion until next year, with possible fall completion by Stevens.
