               ATLAS PULP MILLS BURNED
               
           The Kimberly & Clark Company Loses
                 One of Its Valuable
                   Establishments.
                   
              FULLY COVERED BY INSURANCE.
              
           The Burned Mills Only a Part of a
            String of Institutions Along the
                Fox River Owned by the
                   Company - To Be 
                       Rebuilt.
                       
           APPLETON, Wis., Nov. 15. - The Atlas
        sulphite and pulp mills at this city were
        destroyed by fire this morning. The loss
        is estimated at $100,000, covered by
        insurance.
           The Atlas mills were owned by the
        Kimberly & Clark company of this city, and
        was but one of their numerous and valuable
        establishments along the Fox river. It was
        well fitted up with the most approved
        machinery and used all the latest processes
        and inventions in manufacturing paper from
        wood pulp and other materials. The mills
        were situated at the upper dam and had a
        plentiful water power. They were built
        several years ago, but every year addi-
        tions and changes have been made to keep
        them in the front rank of the pulp industry.
           CHARLES B. CLARK, secretary and treas-
        surer of the company and one of the princi-
        pal stockholders, is the present congress-
        man from the district, though he went down
        with the rest of his party in the recent
        landslide. MR. CLARK resides at Neenah,
        where the company has other mills. JOHN A.
        KIMBERLY, of Neenah, is the president of
        the company. The loss will not hurt them
        financially in a great degree, other than
        the stoppage of work during the time for
        rebuilding, as they are wealthy men and
        this mill represented but a small part of
        their invested capital.
           The work of rebuilding will begin at
        once, and it is probable that the new
        structure will be much larger and better
        in every way than the old one.
           
              Revised Estimate of Loss.
           APPLETON, Wis., Nov. 15. - A later
        estimate of the loss places it at
        $85,000, and it is ascertained that
        there is only an insurance of $45,000
        in S. H. Seamens agencies of Milwaukee.
