The ''Ida Elmore" is located in the fa-
nous Cle-Elum mining district near Fish

Ter. the noted mining expert from the lie
Roi has examined professionally the
Ida Elmore" mine, as has, also, C. M.
Fasset, the we'll known geologist and as.
sayist OF Spokane. Their reports are OF
the most encouraging character and the
stockholders are going into the work oil
further development with confidence and
enthusiasm. Some idea of the riches Of
the Ida Gilmore" mine may be gained
from the statement of the experts that
the ore assays 81 20 per ounce or $45. AZ
per ton, and the concentrates 8. 40 OF. OF
s7O.2s. In the same ledge the "Broncho'
concentrates show SO OF, of silver and
l4.1O OF. of gold, or a total value Of
s296.06. The fine climate, abundance of
mining timber and water power, and
only mile and half of trail to good
road make this an ideal mining camp.

AT CONFEDERATE GRAVES.
Veterans of the Grey Remember
Their Unknown Dead.

The graves of the seventeen unknown
Confederate soldiers who fell in General
Early's raid on this city in 1864, were to-
day fittingly decorated by the Confederate
Veterans Association. Those who followed
the fortunes of the Stars and Bars assem-
bIed at Woodside. Md, at o'clock this
afternoon and paid tribute to the memory
of their comrades of other days
The ceremonies were simple but impress
siye One noticeable fact was that only
the national flag was displayed. The an
nual address was delivered b. the Rev. DIT.
r. H McRim. Chaplain of the Confederate
Veterans Association Of this city. TEe
speaker recited recollections of the past
and told the story of the struggle of the
Confederate States from 1851 10 1850
Events since the surrender of Lee at Ap-
pomattox were pictured and the fidelity 10
the Union OF those who fought under Lee
and Jackson portrayed. The mound in
which the unknown dead rest was covered
with flowers the Northern lily and the
Southern rose being the offerings OF the as
sociation.
The Memorial Day poem based on PreSi-
dent McKinley's speech in Atlanta ana
published in this mornings Times, was READ
BY a member of the association.
After the celebration at the cemetery the
association was served with lunch by
the Ladies OF the Southern Relief Society.

WHERE THE CROWDS WENT.
Places of Historic Interest and the
Resorts ThrOnged With People.

For the greater part Of the day the city
was practically deserted. large number
of the business houses closed during the
morning hours. and those which did not
shut their doors at noon. The employees of
these establishments. together with the
great mass Of clerks and other attaches OF
the different governmental departments,
crowded the streets at an early hour.
Naturally the objective point of the
great majority of the residents of the Dis
trict was the Arlington National Gene
tery. In fact all roads and avenues SEEM
ed 10 lead to this last resting place OF the
nations dead. The hundred and one pleas
ure resorts and points of interest in and
around the National Capital were also yis-
tied by immense crowds.
Ii is safe to say. however, that the
greater number of those who went out Of
the city tooa advantage of the splendid
weather and visited some one CT the nu-
rnerous pleasure resorts on the Potomac
ANYWAY, it is a fact that the manag ,ment
of the Marshall Hall and River View
pleasure grounds had all they could do to
handle the crowds which visited those
places. On every trip during the day the
steamers which ply between Washington
! and those resorts were loaded with pleas
ure seekers. While the destinations of the
great majority was the View and Hall.
| still hundreds stopped at Mount Vernon
| The different city street railways also
/ did a rushing business Glen Echo, pos
| sibly the most delightful and interesting
! suburban resort, as usual was visited by
an immense crowd. The visitors to this
most attractive outing place went early
and remained until late at night before re-
| turning to the city. large number oil
pleasure seekers also made the trip to
Chevy Chase Lake during the day and
| evening.
The special racing meet at the Bright
wood Racing Park was also well patron
| lied. and those who went there to see the
trotters and runners make the circuit
