PArER Mill DlsAsrrR.-The Iowa Man.
ufacturing Co. have for a long time been
preparing for work, having completed their
paper mill, near Wo-thing.on, set the mas
chinery up and provided the stock for a large
run of prirt paper. On Thursday it was in.
tended to have an excursion Of stock holders
to witness the starting Of the mill. But a
disaster has UPSET all calculations. and for q
time suspended paper manufacturing at
these mills. On Monday the race gave way
under the pressure Of TIE water, and the
power is of course released. The race was
constructed BY . fine stone wall. 1t seems
that the calculation Of the water pressure on
the wall WAS at fault, and when the water
MAS led into the race it exceeded all expec.
tation, and the wall gave way. 1t proves q
serious misfortune, but can be remedied, as
understand it will be in the construction
of q wooden race. This will be completed
ten days, and the mill put to work.
The managers Of the Iowa Manufacturing
Company have abundance Of energy, and if
they have the patience, viii yet bring the
mill to good working condition. When sub.
ssantially completed it will be one Of the e.
nest paper mills in the Mississippi valley
