There two mills in the corporatonone constructed OF
brick with rocky basis, and the other of WOOD with the
game substructure. The mills were built quarter OF

about year since when the mills sold at auction
and purchased at low price by parties who have since

the agent, Mr.. James HASKELL formerly Of Rockport and
Gloucester massachusetts,, to examine the condition Of
the mills from the foundation the superstrucure with
view both TO the safety Of life and property. No better
preparations for rescue by tire or Of subduiug the
exist any mills In New Engiand. The duck mill IS
wooden structure and is probable notwithstanding the
precautions taken prevent accidents that the

OF manufacturing duck cloth The principle UPON which
the Westhrock duck mill constructed is not however,
likely to lead to the results apprebended from contuu

Since the owners commenced operations, iron
pillars, hollow and about six inches In diameter have
been put in the places Of wooden posts. The gas
used in the mills is manufactured in the corporation
This is the only mill we have seen in which the Ameri
