dence in ST. lguace where he owned several
lumber mills. While living in St Ignace he
also acquired y large mining property, which he
retained up to the time Of his death. He moved

The finishing shop and large new

4:3O O'Clock. The fire was gotten I'M

next morning, after having burned
the new mill of the Vermont Marble
company together with the large fin

The loss is estimated from $4,000 to
800. 900. 1t was well insured in the

800 men were temporarily thrown
out of employment, but the company

Worth Ten Billions.

According to careful and elaborate
calculations which have been made
recently by the admiralty in London
as we'll as by the principal experts on
naval matters, the gross value OF
maritime interests amounts to little
over $40, 900, 100000. These figures
comprise the total value OF the sea-
borne commerce Of the British en-
pire as we'll as such foreign mari
time commerce as is carried in Brit
ish ships owned in England, the value
Of the securities and marketable doc

the value of the mercantile shipping
