INVERCARGILL.
Monday
Dawson and Son's saw mill, a few miles from town, was destroyed by fire yesterday. Children playing with lucifers lighted the fern on the windward side of the mill, and the strong wind drove the flames to a heap of slabs and debris, which soon blazed. 250,000 feet of timber, machinery, and buildings were destroyed; The estimated loss is £2,50 D, of which £500 is covered by insurance.
