BALLOON BREAKS

CBy Associated Press. J

INDIANAPOLIS, June 7.-If the
balloon Indiana has not been disqual-
ified by touching the earth, it has
broken the American endurance rec
ord by staying in the air more than
forty-four hours. Since the balloon
started in the national distance race
of the Aero club of America, from
this city Saturday, two reports have
been received from it. One was that
it had touched the earth in Tennes-
see to take water and had proceeded
south. If this is true the balloon is
disqualified, but the second dispatch
from the pilot says the balloon only
dropped near enough to take up a
bucket of water. Under the last con
dition the Indiana has not been been
disqualified. If the Indiana has

The total weight of the charge was
2400 pounds and about 300 pounds
of copper pig was produced. Seventy

The pig was declared practically

given later in a report by an assayer.
A matter OF much Importance was
the entire elimination of copper

result under all conditions of opera
