Although the ore movement was
slow during the first 10 days Of the
month, and there was some delay,
shipments for May reached a new
mark

ments that have been compiled, II
is certain that the movement was
100000 tons in excess OF that in
May. 1913, when the high record of
7.2S4.2l2 tons was made. II is gen.
orally believed that the total ship

VOYAGE TO QUANTICOI.
Steamer St. Johns Carries Many
Alexandrians and Washing
tonians to Town

The big steamer st. JohEs left
Washington shortly after nine o'clock
this morning crowded with EXCURSION
lists for Quantico where two hundred
and fifty lots for manufactures ana
dwellings, are to be sold. IT," safes
will be conducted by the Atlantic
Coast Realty Company. The boat
was crowded with people who mad
saken the steamer at Washington.
iJpon its arrival at Alexandria about
fifty people of this city went aboard.
The excursion was given under the
auspices of the Atlantic Coast Realty
Company, which will furnish lunch
Turing the day and use every means
FOR the entertainment of the excur-
sionists. This will doubtless be the
largest number of persons ever land
cd at Quantico. During the months
IF july and August, when trips are
made by the St. Johns to Colonial
Roach. the steamer occasionally calls
at Quantico to take on excurslonls1s,
generally small parties composed OF
Sunday school teachers and scholars,
hut at no time had such an assemb-
lage made Quantico the objective
point.
Many years ago, when the Rich
rond. Fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroad made Quantico its northern
| terminus instead of Aqua Creek, L
was believed there was future Tor
the Prince William village, and a
arpe hotel was constructed there and
other enterprises followed. About ten
years ago, however, the R., +. & Z.
R.R. began running their locomtIvcs
through to Washington, and Quantlco
| ceasing to be a point for changing
engines, the place fell into decay
Curirg the past few months the eyes
If many have again been turned to
| Ouantico, it becoming known that
| the managers Of large manufacsur-
| inr plants in other cities had acquire!
| land there. Many men have recently
been put to work preparing for the

been a decided boom in the place
Hence the excursion given today by

The water is deep at Quantico and
| it is upon the neck of Il great raj.

There is every reason to believe that
there is bright future for the place
