Saw Mili Burned,
. The saw mill of R. A. Hamiiton, in
Brady township, Clearfield county, was
totally destroyed by fire last Friday
afternoon. The flames originated in
the boiler room where a quantity of
fine dust, which had accumulated above
the farnace, exploded. The mill was a
total loss, but the lumber plies were
saved. The owner places his loss at
$4,000. The mill was built in 1580, and
had a capacity of from 25000 to 30,000
feet of lamber per day. It was oper
ated by a band saw and was a well
farnished mill.
