 Early in the afternoon, thronRs were gathered on the street corners awsit- ing the talismanic word, Pickett Springs, which indicated their oppor- tunity for transportation to the region or desire, and until nightfaIl loaded cars, coming from or going to the Springs, were traversing Dexter ave nue at regular intervals. To those who were at a loss as to how to employ their time, the crowded cars heckoned invitation, and so the thronE swefled fin numbers.
 The parks presented a happy scene Of placid enjoyment Oak Park, with its trees and shady benches, found special favor in the eyes of the chil- dren, judging by the number pres ent, while Pickett Springs showed a preponderanoe of the newly wed and, some say, the more fortunate. The pavilion at the Springs was the ob- jective point of most of the people at that resort. the concerts rendered during the afternoon being very de- lightful.
 The travel on the cars lines of the city yesterday, was, for this season of the year. almost unprecedented. It remains to be seen whether tho re- cora will be bettered, even during the hot summer months.

THE INITIAL STEP

The series or real estate deals con sumated in the business district yester- day are the initial transactions prefac- ing a season of prosperity and activity in really unprecedented in the history of Globe-and that is saying a good deal
 The development of the Old Domin- ion mine has made of Globe "a city of 10000 prosperous people. This is a statement that will not be disputed by themost blatant pessimist. Material evidence is at hand. With this state ment standing unchallenged it is easy to forecast the effect on the growth of the city that five more mines of equal richness and magnitude of ore bodies will have. The five additional mines are here; and what is more interesting there is sufficient money back of them to guarantee their full development and proper equipment.
 But this is not all.
 There is vast area of mineralized territory, with hundreds of embryo mines or prospects which will iwthin very few brief months be developed into Old Dominions, Miamis, Arizona Commercials, Superior & Bostons and Globe Consolidateds. In reviewing the list lengthens. It will continue to lengthen from month to month and from year until the prophecy is fulfilled and Globe in reality is the greatest copper producing district in the world. A population for the city proper with in twelve months of 10000 is ultra con servative. It will have a population of 25,0oO, maybe 30,ooO within that brief period. In five years, and the es- timate is well based, Globe will be the home of from 5o,Ooo to 75,ooo happy, prosperous people, and will be recog- nized the world over as the most pop 7 ulous and important mining city in the United States.
 With the deals closed yesterday the first movement in this gigantic forward stride was made. The ice has been broken. The boom--we can't call it anything else, for that is really what it ls-is now on. It is going to be a won derful season of prosperity and develop ment, of great growth and building. "
 You can't push too hard. There is nothing to fear by the expenditure of ooundless enthusiasm. The city's fu- ture rests on the proven richness of her matchless mines and in the hidden wealth of the adjacent hills-copper, gold and silver.
