time in history that a single corps OF
the Salvation army OF the United
States has been represented al an in

The local band was organized no

MINES AGAIN REACH
NORMALPRODUCTION
Before Close of Summer, Say
Officials, Output Will Break
All Records

CALUMET, Mich, May l9.-(Spe-
ciaD With all mines In the district
operating up to their full capacity, a
period OF unprecedented prosperity
Is following In the wake OF the great
labor war in the copper country oil
upper Michigan. Although only i've
weeks have elapsed since the discon'
tinuance OF the strike OF $4,000 min
ers, the output OF the mines has been
restored nearly TO normal and Is in
creasing each day Before the close
CT the summer, officials declare, the
amount OF ore mined will exceed that
for any previous period.
Only comparatively small per
cent OF the miners now employed
worked in the copper country pre-
vious to the calling OF the strike in
July, 1913. When the strike was de-
clared off.s on April lS-just five
weeks practically all OF the
mines were operating with non-union
forces. A few of the strikers were
given work upon the condition that
they surrender their cards in the
Western Federation OF Miners. Tne
great majority OF the strikers, how
ever, were told that there was no
work TO be had, as the companies re-
fused TO turn out their forces OF
strike breakers. These union men,
during the last few weeks, have been
leaving the Michigan copper country
by hundreds, most OF them moving
further west 10 seek employment in
other districts.
AS an indication OF the unusual &C
tiYity in the smaller mines in the dis
trict, ii was declared today that the
Mineral Range railroad is hauling
more than 100000 tons of rock to the
mills each week from IL mines. These
IL mines do not include the Calumet
& Hecla properties, the Quincy, Cop
per Range or Winona This amount
OF business is just about normal, rail
road officials asserted
Most of the mining companies are
adding daily to their force OF EN-.
ployes, despite the fact that more
miners are working now then were
employed during the period just pre-
ceding the strike,
1t was asserted on authority today
that despite the enormous cost or the
strike TO the operators, many OF the
companies would declare their usual
dividends at the end OF the present
year.

rBv TELEGRAPH 10 The Tribune

Philadelphia, May 13.-In spite OF a

Of it's one-sidedness. Columbia defeated
Pennsylvania here to-day in twelve

The contest never should have gone to

that Pennsylvania punched three hits

All Ready to Leave Field
When Williams Rises Up
and Wins Game.
ERROR OF BALLOU AND
ADOUBLE TURN TRICK
Seibert Turns the Tide in Hard
Fought Battle of Pitchers
No Runs Earned.
nv Telegraph to The Trlbune.l

Princeton, n. j.. May l3.-Taking vic"
tory over Williams for granted. the
Princeton baseball team was preparing to
leave the diamond here to-day when an
error on the last out called the Tigers
back, only to lose the game by score
OF 3 to 2.
A two-base hit by Seibert did the work
for Williams. 1t was one OF the best
games seen on University Field this year,
with both teams breaking even until the
eighth inning, when Princeton pushed one
run ahead. In the next inning the Tigers
retired the first two Williams men to
bat and Mlchler laid down an easy
grounder 10 Bolton, which looked like he
last play of the game until he booted the
ball, letting Michler take first.
Higginbotham followed with single,
and selbert nearly broke up the game by
slashlng out a two-bagger TO deep left
field. He was caught trying to steal
third, but he had snatched thu game from
the Tigers.
Not one OF the FIVE runs made in the
game was earned. for both pitchers were
working in top form. and 1t was only he
mistakes Of their fielders which let a
man reach home. Lamberton did the
twirling for Princeton. and Hodge for
Williams.
Lamberton had a little advantage with
out a doubt until Bottoms error in the
last inning. when he allowed a single and
double in succession. Even in defeat
the records favor the Tiger southpaw,
although Hodge pitched good ball.
