A heavy blow came to Corinna last
Tuesday night in the destruction by fire
OF the G. A. Greenwood two-set wooden
mill. The financial loss is placed at
$4,000 with small insurance. The fire
caught from a spark in the cards and
spread rapidly so that the main building,
three stories in height, and basement and
the dye house were burned. The boiler
house was saved and the picker house
just across the river was just out of reach
OF the flames. Considerable wool and
several cases of finished goods were
burned. This mill was built five years
ago. On the same site within few years
these mills have been burned. Employ
ment was given to forty hands. 1t is
doubtful il the mill will be rebuilt and 1t
was CorinAa's only industry.
Prof. w. S. Bayley OF Colby, has re-
Gently been appointed to secure statistics
relating to wells and water resources in
Maine. The United States geological sur
vey has begun the investigation of water
supply over large portion Of the United
States, but it is only within the past few
days that II has included our State among
the list of these to be studied. 1t Is OBJ
viousy impossible, on account OF expense,
for Poi. Bayley to visit all the wells in
Maine. For large portion of the infor-
nation he should have, in order to make
the investigation OF any value, he must
depend in large measure upon those citi-
zens W no possess suffi cient public spirit to
provide him with the names of well own
ers Especially owners OF deep wells), of
those who utilize springs as sources of
water supply and OF those who may at any
time have been interested 10 deep borings,
whether such borings penetrated water
veins or not. He urges those who may
have in their possession such information
as is desired to send their names at once
to him at Waterville.
