                          FIRE IN A MICHIGAN MILL
                       A $40,000 Blaze at East Tawas   
                       
           EAST TAWAS, Mich., Oct. 19 [Special.] At 3:30 this
         afternoon a fire was discovered in the engine room of
         the East Tawas Lumber & Salt Company's mill. Although
         the mill was totally destroyed the salt brick and drill-
         house was saved. The engineer burned his hands in giving
         the alarm by the mill whistle and then opened the safety
         valves of the boilers. One boiler exploded. The wind was
         blowing a gale from the west. Several fires were started
         in Bearinger's mill yard from the sparks. The mill was
         valued at $40,000. About 100 men are thrown out of work.
