EXTENSIVE FIRE IN BoLToN.-The ex-
tensiye steam elapboard mill In Bolton.
with most of its contents, was destroyed
by fire during the night of Thursday
last. The fire was discovered about two
o'clock, but was well under way at the
time, and burned with such rapidly
that within thirty minutes the property
was all in ruins. This mill was erected
in 1859, by Shurtleff & Edgerton, and
was bought by the North Williston Lum-
Der Company Cd. ]. Fay e. Coz about
three years ago, and has been run by
them since. This is the second attempt
to burn the mill within few months,
and there is no doubt that the FIRE was
the work of an incendiary. The mill
contained, among other machinery. a
steam engine, built at Fitchburg, Mass,
said to be one of the best in the state
Connected with the steam mill was :
saw mill. leased by j. A. Beers. and {
large building, until quite recently Oc
eupied by Kimball & Co., manufactur
ers Of turned trays, but who now have
their shops in Richford. By this ca
lamity, from twenty-five to thirty work
men are thrown out of employment, a
season of the year when it is hard
ship. The property burned was insar
ed for eight thousand dollars. in stOcl
companies represented by BurlingtO
agents
