KEYSTONE FIGURING
MILLS DESTROY
ED BY FIRE
One Of the Most Stubborn Fires
in Hughesville for
Many Months

Hughesville, July "a few
minutes past II o'clock Tuesday
morning the town was called to
fight one of the most destructive
fires that has visited this vicinity
for some time. When the whistle
on the j. X. Rishel Furniture Co.
sounded the alarm there was large
volumes of smoke filling the air in
a northeasterly direction which
proved to be the Keystone FIGURING
Mill, owned by Ball & Newman
and operated by Buck & Robbins.
The mill had been running all morn
ing and by an investigation made
by Mr.. Newman it is evident that
it caught by an overheated boxing,
as the fire seemed to have started
in the third story of the mill. The
mill was five stories high.
A few minutes after the fire was
discovered the entire upper portion
of the mill was in flames.
Immediately upon hearing the
cry of fire Mr.. Buck ran up stairs
but could only get to the third floor
which was then blazing fiercely.
The new elevators which were
just recently put in terminate ON
the third floor where the grain was
stored. Several improvements to
the amount of about $4,000, was
put on the mill this spring.
This is one of the oldest mills in
this section of the county. Just
when it was originally built we
have been unable to determine.
The original mill was owned by
Edw. Lyon and was destroyed by
fire in the early spring of 1861.
Edw. Lyon sold the property to
ohm Ulrich who in turn despond
of it to William Taggert after which
George Ball ran it for number of
years, then taking in partnership
his son.in-law p. M. Newman. who
have been owners of the property
for a number of years.
The loss to Buck and Robbins is
estimated from 81, 800 to SO, 700,
with about one-third of the loss
covered by insurance. The loss to
the mill lie estimated at from Sc, 600
to $4,000, partly covered by insur
ance.
