Orrawa, Apri] 28 - Insurance mea aud property Owners are trying to fi d out how they stard. Gilmour’s Mill a Gatineau is saved, but moet of the firn’s lumber is destroyed. Booth’s big mill has proved fire proof with its’ elaborate system of wat ravorks.

Almost all the lumber piles in Hui] and O.tawa are burned. J.R.

He thinks his losa will be between $1 , 250,400 or $1,500,000. Everything ia insured, but probably notat its full value.

The Kddy Company saved their sul. phite mill, which was at some distance, but everything else is lost. Their me- chanical superintendent says the machin- ery destroyed cost $800,000 and the build- ings cost half that much and the lumber and other property would bring the loss up to $1,259,006 or $1,500,000. Hddy’s private residence and contents is valued at $100,000.

Brongon Weston Co’s. loss 1s estimated at $250,000.
