Saw Mill Burned at Ashland Swamp Mill Destroyed
The Lake Superior Lumber and Box Co mill known as the Swamp mill at the head of the Bay burned Sunday night, inflicting about 60 000 in loss with insurance. J W Smeaton of Ashland owned part of the mill with several eastern partners. About two hundred workers faced unemployment. Fire protection was poor for the distant site as Ashland and Superior fire crews saved the lumber and tried to prevent spread. The mill contracted to saw lumber for Stearns Lumber Company of Odanah and Washburn. There is little chance of rebuilding.
