 The old engine and boiler and woolen mill machinery of the Dale vile mill has been broken up and sold as old scrap iron. We we'll remember when the new boiler, purchased by the late James Hoyle from the Allen boiler works, Worcester, Mass, was taken over from the West Wilmington station with ali the teams available, that the rusted, seive4like segment taken back little resembled, showing the passage and effect of time. Water power is used for the pearl button manufactory, although there is a small gasoline engine that can be used in times of emergency or necessity. )
