America" he said, "is wonderful land and rich Tn minerals. Money in England is lying idle and we want 10 invest it in places that are stable; in places that will hold up and hold out in mineral. Here in Bisbee the field seems 60 be covered thoroughly with men, money land mineral. am just looking around quietly and when I get home ! shall have something very interesting to say to those whom I represent. It is not the right time or place for mc to say much now"

6eiitties American Methods.-A. c. de tough, a Dutchman from The Hague, Holland, the little country where a youth became famous for holding back the sea from covering 1t by holding his hand over a hole in the sea wall which threatened to break open, is distinguished visitor in Douglas. On behalf of the govern ment of Holland, he is studying tn, mining methods in tie west. From an interview in the morning paper Mir. de Jough, who is a mining engineer, indicates that he has much to do in teaching America few things in en- gineering, as it is a young country. while engineering feats in Holland have been practiced there since Adam was a boy. Incidentally, MT. de tough is a jolly ana typical rotund Dutchman, but like the majority of Europeans on their arrival, is cha grined to find that America follows its own customs instead of copying those of the ~old country"

York diamond and gem dealer.

Several expert men are at work in the mines now, and all the ground is being thoroughly and carefully pros pected. Turquoise fs fncrbasing in value on the markets of the world and hence the activity. Usually the sky blue formation comes out in thin
 stringers. It is most carefully mined and every precauton is taken not to fracture it. It is not plentiful material and only an expert can tell it's value.
 Uusually, though not always. it is found in copper districts. Tiffany controls most of the turquoise mines in the country and many beautiful gems have been made from material taken from the Coehise county mines. Azurite copper is some times mis- taken for it; the real article is of a delicate sky blue tint. Its value de pends largely on it's color and free dom from flaws. The turquoise from the Gleason district is said to be of the best.

RIVER AGAIN UNDER CONTROL This Week Will Witness the Closing of the Big Gap
 to SaIton Sea,
Special to RevFew.l

PHOENIX, Feb. 11.-While on their trip to Yuma, the members of the leg islative committee composed of O'Neill, Cleveland, Murphy, White side and Slaughter, were accompanied by Mrs. Slaughter and a large number of Yuma people.
 1 Eugene Brady O'Neill stated this morning that the engineers expect to turn the mighty Colorado back to it's own path this week. The work of closing the great gap in the river ITO ceeds slowly. but surely. About 5000 cubic yards of rock are being thrown into the river each day. There are two lines of trestle and from the lower one huge boulders are dumped. while small rocks are thrown in above. The water carries these against and between the larger stones, solidifying the dam thus being made.
 Rock Is being rushed to the scene in specials from different points in Arizona and California.
 l The failure of the project O'Neill predicts, would mean the destruction of the Laguna project and of the Southern Pacific's bridge at Yuma through the lowering of the river bed
