Tbs american HITLER for July has

the Few Washburn Mills, at Minneapo-
lis, Illustrated by very fine wood en-
craving Of the mills and elevator.
Although st. Louis produces the largest
Iamount Of flour, Minneapolis claims to
be the greatest milling city on this con-
tinent. Her mills aggregate 220 run
of stone, and in their equipment are
not excelled by any in the country.
In 1868, Minneapolis shipped 940,786
barrels Of flour, of which 1O9,183 bar
rels were sent direct to European ports
on through bills of lading The new
mill is ninety-fve feet by one hundred
and forty-fve, and is six stories high.
1t is built Of stone upon rock found
alton, and has a Turbine water-Wheel
Of six hundred horse power. It is to
be lighted by the Harris safety lamp,
a new invention which is believed to
be proof against explosions from the
ignition Of flour dust, and is to be
equipped with elevators for the benefit
OF the tired millers who have to tray-
erse the vast area of the mill in their
daily and nightly rounds. The present
firm which owns the mills is composed
|of G. G. Washburn, John Crosby, VIM.
I'll. DunWoody and Charles J. Martin,
under the title Of Washbur1, Crosby :

Washbur1s4 mere than to any other in
