RED CROSS BUSHES AID IN
EXPLOSION ON WALL STREET

According to the superintendent Of
the Broad Street and Volunteer hospi-
tails of New York. the work of the Red
Cross after the recent Wall street eK-
plosion proved almost invaluable. The
explosion happened at noon on Sep
TENDER 16. Red Cross ambulance
units with those of downtown hospi-
tails and the police department, were
on the scene in time for first aid
work But the principal activity Of
he Red Cross was to assist the h0spi-
tails to which the injured were taken.
Before the afternoon had passed 80
nurses had gone to aid the regular
forces at the Broad street and Volun-
teer hospitals Eighteen Red Cross
field directors assisted in hospitals
and in compiling and furnishing in
formation concerning dead and injur-
ed. Large quantities of hospital sup
plies and apparatus were furnished,
as we'll as food Three ambulances
and two trucks were on duty, and
through the Red Cross social service
the matter of getting in touch with the
families of victims was competently
handled.

scribes briefly the geology of the dis

its of quicksilver ore. Mining devel-
opment although some of the depos-
it's have been known for nearly 20
years is still in an early stage. The
ore. mainly cinnabar, occurs chiefly in
limestone near the contact of that
rock with quartzite. No large masses
of ore have yet been blocked out but
the prospects for future production
are regarded as fairly good. The
most serious handicap to development
has bee nthe remoteness Of the dis
