MUCH SUFFERING.
NOW In BENWOOD.
CITY JUST RECOVERING FROM
WORST FLOOD IN HISTORY,
Many Residents Out Of Employment
and in Oistrsss-ReIief Work
Now Going on.

Benwood. without doubt the hardest
struck town in this section OF tn
Ohio valley. is slowly recovering from
the great damage that has been
wrought BY the turbulent Ohio. When
the Hood reached Its crest in Benwood
saturday. practically every building
In the city was surrounded by six feet
and more OF water and the majority OF
the buildings had water In the second
story. On the two streets nearest the
riier the water raised untn the tele-
phone wires were hid from view and
persons travelling about the city IN
beats were obliged to proceed with
caHtioc for fear OF capsizing their
boats by striking submerged houses.
Every public building In the city
was covered long before the Hood had
reached its crest and IL was impossible
for the city authorities TO provide
shelter for the suffering. most OF whom
were taken to McMehen. where Mayor
Harris opened every public building 10
them.
Scenes on the hilisides around Ben
wood yesterday were piNful. Hun.
dreds OF foreigners who are employed
In the mills there and who live in the
houses located around the river bank,
were rendered homeless by the mood
before they could remove their house
hold goods to higher ground. Secur-
ne what few articles possible, hun
dreds of foreigners turned to the hills
about the city and are camping there,
some few having secured tents but the
majority OF them living In rude huts
OF their own construction. However
they have not been abandoned by the
city officials and each day the camp
is visited by a wagon which supplies
pI DIVISIONS and coal.
Much Damage.
or all floods which Benwood has
experienced, this will prove the most
DISASTROUS. and the damage will run
high into the thousands OF dollars
Yesterday afternoon several small
houses and cottages were floating
about the streets, having been moved
from their foundations by the water,
and largef structures are so damaged
that il is feared that they will col
lapse. The two largest industries In
the city. the National Tube Company
and the Wheeling Steel & Iron Com
pany. suffered great losses. Material
was washed away and machinery in
these plants was damaged TO such an
extent that IL will be at least a week
before operations may be resumed.
This will cause over 1000 men 10
lose employment for this length OF
time and will mean the loss OF sew.
eral thousand dollars 20 the working
men as well as TO the companies.
The working people. OF which Ben
wood Is almost entirely composed.
will be the heaviest sufferers, as few
OF the houses we're habitable after
the first day OF the food. Sweeping
down upon the city without warning,
the Ohio has completely wiped out
the household goods. collected after
years OF careful saving and self de-
NAL. of the majority OF residents.
Just how many families will come
out Of the food destitute cannot be
determined. but II will be months
and years before many families will
recover the loss that came to them
within three days

No Free Assays Made BY
Geological Survey

Attention is again called by tkc
United States Geological Survey ut
Washington to the fact that 1t does
not make analyses or assays of ores,
mineruls, or metals for private
parties. Many specimens and sam
pies are received by the Survey, ac-
companicd by request for such treat
ncnt, with which it is impossible to
comply. The force OF chemists en-
ployed in the Survey is small, and
their time is fully occupied by their
regular official duties. The Geo
logical Survey has no facilities for
making gold and silver assays. The
most that can be done is for the
Survey geoligists to give an otf-hand
opinion based on simple examlna-
ton of specimen. III an aSsay Is
desired, the proper course Is to
employed a private assayer or to
send the specimen to one OF The
Government assay Offices, where a
regular charge is made for such
work. When specimens are sent TO
the Survey for examination, appil-
cants should be particular to state
whether tney wish them returned,
as otherwise they will be destroyad.
Government assay offices are located
