WASHINGTON, June 26.-Though

Rebuilding the Old Mil.

Missoula. July AT the Morning
mill, below Mullan. Idaho, the work
of rebuilding the old mill that was
destroyed by fire this spring has been
making good progress this month and

This is one of the quickest pieces Of
work on record. The new mill will
be considerably larger than the old
one and will contain nothing but the
latest patterns Of machinery. Every
thing IL now in place but the engine
and a portion of the boilers. and these
will. IL is expected, be ready for work

work undertaken. Reports will be
