EAST BROUGHTON, Que., Dec.' 11.\u2014Damage estimated at between $150,000 and $200,00 was caused by a fire which late yesterday afternoon totally destroyed the large .mill and store of the Asbestos Mines j Limited.The flames, v.hmh were ! first noticed shortly after three | j o\u2019clock in the afternoon, spread very ' rapidly, and completed their work of | destruction notwithstanding the ef- j forts of the workmen to stay their ! progress.In addition to the two large buildings, which will take some time to replace, it is stated that about one thousand tons of asbestos fibre stor-jed in the shed was partly damaged.; j The amount that the mill and store | j shed are covered by insurance could j i not be ascertained this morning.I It is the general opinion of the of-jficials that a defective electric wire !
