RAISING THE MULLERS.
The Only Millman Who, Was Ever
Known to Make Money BY Doing

So.
The romance about the way in
which General Winters 10 said to
have caused the failure Of Como and
Palmyra Districts, in 1886, recent '
published, has reminded old-timers
of the fact that Jim Morgan, the
builder of the Morgan mill, at EN-
pire, is the only man who was ever
known to make money by raising the
mullers in the pans. When Jim got
his mill ready he found that he could
not run over third Of it, the water
power being sadly inadequate, as
there was only an eight. foot fall to
run the forty.stamp mill. He there
fore looked around for q purchaser.
The Yellow Jacket Company being
in want Of q mill he got q Committee
appointed to visit Il. On the day
~ IN r
agreed upon Jim had everything in
the best order possible, and stationed
man on the hill back of the mill to
advise him of the coming OF the sex
perts." The mill was then started in
full, but the muilers we're all raised
ssbont six inches, so,t'lat there was no
friction whatever. The committee
came, examined the premises thor
oughly, aud were so highly pleased
that they accepted it on the spot
Jim got his pay, but the Yellow
Jacket company were, compelled to
put ia q powerful engine TO utilize
their purchase, and the Morgan be-
came a steam mill. ~ ~ = .''h
