Mr.. N. II. Danforth, of Brunswick, Min
nesota, communicated the following facts to
the GLOBE reporter yesterday. The water
at Brunswick is higher than since 1851.
The steamer May Queen made trip to that
place Monday and landed her freight on the
hay scales. The bridge across Hay creek is
washed out and the only way of getting
from Pine City to Brunswick is by the river.
Later from Brunswick-'Zeke McCluer,
just down, states that all of the main bridge
across Snake river at Brunswick Is washed
out, as also is the Ann river bridge, Fish
Lake dam, and Wyoming bridge. The losses
will be heavy. The Brunswick bridge was a
costly structure, and it will be considerable
tax on the people of Kanabec county, but
the Danforth brothers are the kind of men
who will see that the bridge is rebuilt if they
have to bear the expense themselves.

The following is about the real status of
affairs regarding the mills, and losses sus-
tanned by the flood. The following mills
shut down last Saturday and have not yet
started up: G. N. Nelson & Co., Hersey,
Bean Il Brown, the South Saltwater -four
mills, and McKasick, Anderson & Co. Isaac
Staples, mill shut down Monday noon. The
mills of Jersey, Bean & Brown could be
started up now but for the fact that the
water in the yards will not admit
of their piling lumber. The
"a ORAAOtOAS VI VIC LnLAo Will dAAOn bAOAI
men to board right along, and when they
start up again those who are ready to
20 to work again will probably not be
charged with their board. The principal,
and in fact about the only loss to the mills,
will be the loss of time. 1t is useless to
figure Oh the losses, as they cannot be COM
pu!ed; sufice it to say they are merely nomi-
nal.
