Conditions in Bisbee
 Are Unchanged

The Bisbee situation today remains the same. The Spray shaft of the Copper Queen is closed, and a few more men have been given their time checks today A safe and conserv- ative estimate of the total number of men thus far discharged reach 1000. No discrimination appears to be shown, union and non-union men alike be- ing dismissed. A large number of men are already leaving the camp and no trouble has as yet started, although officers are apprehensive of an out break at any time. One fight was precipitated between union and anti union advocates, but the com batauts were sepsrted before the fight became general The feeling prevails that the various companies do not intend to give the slightest recognition to unionism, and reports are current tbat a dismissal order of one. half of the remaining force in the district will be out by Saturday night. At the va rious headquarters no intimstion is had of future plsns, the only infor- nation given out being that a short age of fuel and timbers make the wholesale discharges necessary.

For Arizona's
 Educational Interests

Fl Paso is making a move to secure slice of the s32,OOO,O0O donation of John D. Rockefeller to the New York educational board to further educa. tional work in the United States. It is hoped to secure an endowment for a college at Fl Paso, and the chamber of commerce Is taking steps to inyes- tigste the m alter. I; would appear that Arizona should not overlook a similar opportunity to come with . the specific benefits of the prodigious gift. A movement to secure recog- nitiUn for Arizona might be produc- tive of good results. Cochise county affords many advantages for such an institution.

The Tiffany Mines
 in Cochise County

The Tiffany turquoise mines are located in the Gleason district, Cochise county, about IS miles east of Tomb stone. Turquoise is beautiful gem stone, colored with cupric oxide, and much admired.
 The Gleason district mines are among the most valuable in the coun- try, and recently they have been ac- lively started again by the famous New York diamond and gem dealear.
 Several expert men are at work in the mines now. and all the ground is being thoroughly and carefully pros pected Turquoise i. increasing in value on the markets oi the world and hence the ,tivity. Usually the sky blue formation comes out in thin stringers. It is most carefully mined and every precautiou is taken not t. fracture it. It is not a plentiful material and only an expert can tell its value. Unusually, though no. all ways, 1t is found in copper districts. Tiffany cor trols most Of the turquoise mines in the country and Jnany beau tiful gems have been made from ma terial taken from the Cochise county mines. Azurite copper is some times mistaken tor it; the real article is of a delicate sky blue tint. Its value de- bends largely on its color and freedom from flaws. The turquoise from the Gleason district is said to be of the best.

ORIGIN OF TILE BALDooN.-The word
balloon means "a large ball" To Mont
golfer of Annonay, France, the inven-
tion of the balloon is credited. 1t is
said that he was led to turn his at
tention to balloon making from the
following incident A French laun-
dress, wishing to dry petticoat quick
ly place. it on a basket work frame
over a stove. To prevent the heat from
escaping by the opening at the top Of
the petticoat she drew the belt strings
closely together and tied them. Grad
ually the garment dried and became
lighter, and as the stove continued to
give out heat and rarely the air con-
centrated under the basket work frame
the petticoat began to move and final
ly rose in the air. This so astonished
the laundress that she ran to her neigh
bOrs and asked them to come and wit
ness the strange sight. Montgolfier
was among those that came in. The
petticoat suspended in midair suggest
ed greater things TO him, and he re-
turned home with something to think
about" He at once began studying
works on different kinds of atmosphere,
and the invention of the balloon was
the result.
