SPRINGFIELD, MASS,
HAS A GOOD TIME
Great Crowds Enjoy Celebration of the
City's Anniversary.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, May z7.-The
second Cay of the celebration in honor
of the incorporation Of Springfield as a
city began unfavorabIy yesterday. In
the early morning the fog and rain and
clouds combined to make a gloom such
as sometimes hangs over every river
valley. but at o'clock the sun came
out and the clouds went away. Spring

and added to its citizens today were %,
Geo others from the surrounding country
and from distant places. When tie sun

the old Pynchon fort, the Springfield
Brewery and Just east of the residence
of the Rev Bradley Gilman. pastor Of
the Church Of the Unity and near the
high school. there is an enormous
pIacard saying that there stood the old
soap house and the jail II was Of this
hill that the old residents used to say
that il was "damnation. education sal

cause the state Street hill led from the
brewery past the Jail TO the Unitarian
Church These pIacards were today thu
meccas Of many sightseers- Old men
and women who had not seen Springfield
for a quarter Of a century came back
and renewed their acquaintance with the
m@dern city which has taken the place
of the ancient landmark.
The civic parade shortly after noon
drew everybody to the line OF march
There were 5000 in line. A hundred
thousand watched them and cheereI-

number OF athletic events. There were
also two ball games, in one Of which
Springfield was beaten by Bridgeport.
and in the other the game was called

appeared late in the afternoon.
The weather was clear in the evening
and the streets and parks were crowded
with the people listening TO more band

NO SIGN OF a SETTLEMENT.
Striking Plumbers and Their Former
Employers Both Remain Obdurate.

The difference between the striking
plumbers and their employers seems to
be as far from adjustment as ever. The
master plumbers assert that they are
experiencing no difficulty in handling
all work that presents itself. and that
the only difference that the strike ma kes
in their business is that they are reIuc-
tant 10 accept any big contracts in the
present state Of affairs
Plumbers from other cities have been
drifting into the city and filing the
places Of the strikers and have been
proving satisfactory in every respect.
The master plumbers seem to be more
interested in the final outcome Of the
temporarily suspended lockout Of the
master builders than they are in their
own troubles, as il is thought that if
the other trades are diverted from as
suming the fight OF the plumbers the
cause OF the striking plumbers is lost.
On the other hand. the strike is de-
velOplng number Of shops that were
never considered in big work before

The local trading resulted in lower
prices throughout the list and in some
instances the declines were in excess

market was the prospective extension Of
the coal minueTs- strike 10 the bitumin-

Recent events have demonstrated
two things

/ Copper is p oduccd at les cost on tire
Verde Copper Belt than anywhere else in the
world
In a suit recently tried in New York TO which
Prof. Treadwcll and Senator Clark were parties.
and IN which the affairs Of the United Verde
Copper Company were in issue, il was proved
by the books Of the company and the sworn
testimony Of the booEkeepers that the United
Verde Company produces copper at a cost Of
three and half cents a pound without count
ing the gold and silver values. which reduce
the cost to a still lower figure.
1t Is doubtful :! copper is produced anywhere
outside Of the Verde Copper Belt for less than
twice that cost
, Inc George \ TreadveH Mining Company
has more and better copper producing property
on the Verde Copper Belt than any other min
ing organization.
Since the recent strike in the C1iF-one OF the
Tresdwcu mincs-this Is a demonstrated fact.
The surface showiugs on the Gift have al
ways been recognized as better than those
on Tie United Verde, and the vein at the
depth Of The present workings Is more than
four times the width Of the United Verde
vein at the same depth. while the ore carries
at least equal values in copper, gold and
silver
The Cliff however, is only one Of many mines
on the Verde Copper Belt owned by the George
A-Treadwel Mining Company. The Brookshirs,
Badger. Pastime. Spoke and StonewaT, Green
Monster, and Iron Queen I'll give promise OF
making good run against both the Cliff
and the United Verde for supremacy
Taken ali together, the TrcadwelI Mining
Company has a property magnificent IN extent
and Of UNSURPASSED value
