BARKER & STEWART
MILL DESTROYED
Fire Discovered Friday Morning at s
O'clock Under Too Great
Headway to be Saved.

One of the largest fires that has
visited Wausau for some time was the
burning of the Barker & Stewart Lum-
Der Co.'S old saw mill plant last Fri
day morning, on McIndoe island. The
mill finished saving about a year ago
and ali of the lumber shipped from the
yards. The island had been practical
ly cleared up, leaving it bare, except
ing the mills, Office buildings, etc., at
the north end. The machinery had
been purchased by the Yawkey- -Bissell
Lumber company and moved to their
mill in Langlade county, so the mill
was empty and no one about the
premises. 1t was the property of the
Wisconsin Valley Electric company
who had purchased same from the
Barker & Stewart Co. The cause of the
fire is not known, but some think
that it might have been from the pipe
of some smoker or tramp who had
been frequenting the premises. When
the fire was discovered, at about s
o'clock, the flames were coming
through the roof, and there was no
chance of saving the mill proper.
While the fire department was on hand
promptly the only thing that could be
done was to save the Office and plan
ing mill and other wooden build
ings, and this was done. The
flames shot high above the buildings
and could be seen all over the city
and it was lucky that there was moth
ing near at hand for them to feed
upon, otherwise tie confiagration would
have been very damaging. Hundreds
of our people went to the fire and the
high bridge was filled with those
watching the same. 1t was a sight
seldom witnessed in a lifetime. The
mill burned entirely down, leaving the
Office and planning mill. The mill was
built on the island SO years ago, by
Clark & Johnson 1t was one of the
later mills built in Wausau as the
water power mills were built and op-
Grated some twenty-five or thirty
years before. This mill was, however
operated by steam power. 1t was
sold to Barker & Stewart in 1887, and
later to the lumber company by that
name. In it's day it turned out about
100000 feet of lumber year.
The buildings were fully insured
and there will no loss to the electric
company.
The island looks almost as bare as
it did forty years ago, when horses
and COWS were turned out to Craze
upon the grass which grew upon it..
That it will again, ere long, become
alive with industry is the hope of all.
