LOST MILL BY FIRE

 

            A. M. Hanson received a telegram from Albert Lewis, who is supt. of his mill near Catawba, last Friday morning, stating that his saw and planning mill had burned night before.  Fortunately but little lumber was burned, Mr. Hanson says it might have caught from a neighboring brush fire or perhaps from a passing train on the Soo line.  The mill cost ten thousand dollars and there was no insurance; making a serious loss.  He had sawed the winter’s campaign of logs.  The mill will be rebuilt for next winter’s business is Mr. Hanson’s determination.
