Loss Estimated at 100000.

Lewiston, December 8. 1t was four o'clock this
morning before the fire in Bates mill was under
control so the officers felt that it would be con-
fined to the building where it caught. The fire
started in the north end of the dye house contain.
ing also cloth hall, machine and carpenter shop.
1t worked gradually south, against the full force
Of the fire department and fire apparatu. Of the
mill, till it reached the brick partition wall sepa
rating the dry house from the wooden mill. Here
a desperate contest Of several hours occurred, TO
save the wooden mill. Men were nearly frozen,
so repeated alarms were sounded for help, as they
became exhausted, and the pipes had to be tied
for want of men to direct. them. A great amount
Of suffering was experienced. The officers and
men Of the mill have been on duty all night and
are nearly worn out. The force pumps Of the
mill are still at work extipguishing the remains OF
the fire. Work will be resumed, in parts Of the
mill not injured, at once. Rough estimate Of loss
