GREAT FIRE AT TE KOPURU.

THE PIiANTCNft SHEnS AND THREE MILLION FEET OF TIMBER BURNED.

U.iiuion £20,000

NO INSURANCES ON PROPERTY

DESTROYED,

Inteliioen'CH was received in town this i morning of v most destructive flro at, Messrs Brown, Campbell, and Co.'s Tim ber Mills at Te Kopuru. The earlier, messages simply conveyed tho intelligence that the planing-sheds and thrco million feet of timbor had beon burned, while tho Mill itself escaped. Tho extent of tho con flagration was evidenced by the fact that between £15,000 and t'20,000 worth of pro perty was destroyed. The news cmised some excitement in town, and further in formation was eagerly sought for, but it was lste in the afternoon beforo further tidings; came to hand. Tho Mill itself is one ol the largest in the colony, turning out about 150,00 feot of sawn material weekly. It is known that there was an immense stock of timber on hand, and the inference is that nearly the whold of this has been destroyed. Upon enquiry in town, we hear that the New Zealand office had i' 3,000, National £1,500, and Soutli British £1,500' on the mill, etc., but wears assured that none of these policies extended over that portion of the property whiee has been des troyed. It will bo seen from telegrams appended that tho tiro originated in the stoke-hole of the little mill at nine o'clock la«t night. No men tion is made of any endeavours to secure Its supression, but it may safely be pre mimed that the fierco galo blowing at tho time, and the inflammable nature of the stock, would havo rendered tho efforts of a fully-equipped fire brigade almost useless. It may be added that tho occasion of tho recent firo at the Union Sash and Door Company's Mill in Mechanics' Bay. Mr Matthews, manager of tho Te Kopuru Mill, was impressed with the necessity of some precautionary Measures for tho extinction of a possible fire on the property under his charge. With this object in view, lie ordered a supply of two-inch water-pipes to bo laid through the mill, and theso ore now on their way from Auckland. The following telegrams regarding the occurrence reached us during the afternoon :— Tb Kopuru, August 31. The Te Kopuru planing-sheds and three million feet of timber were burned during the nioht. Tho firo was raging all night. The whole station and sawmills escaped almost miraculously. ■ Tho fire Is now well under, but the danger is not over. The estimated loss is £15,000 to £20,000. Origin of tho Fire. The following message reached Superin tendent Thomson this afternoon :—" The fire originated in the stoke-hole of the little mill at 9 o'clock last night. A fierce wind was blowing at the time from tho eastward. Heavy rain set in with change of wind from northwest Large mill is saved, i Danger all over.—M. Scott, Constable."

Further Particulars.

[from ouk own correspondent.]

Tb Kopuru, 1.30 p.m.

The firo broke out about nino o'clock last night in the ploning-shops of tho Te Kopuru Saw Mills, and spread rapidly. The planing-mill's stores, offices, and stock of dressed timber were all consumed j also about three million feet of sawn timber. The large saw mills and station were saved almost miraculously by the great exertion of the station people ably assisted by men from Aratapu. Mangawhare, Dargaville, and other places. The estimated loss, £20,000. The fire its now well under control and no further danger is appre hended. The cause of the fire In believed to be purely accidental.

Damago Said to bo Exaggerated. Fall particulars of tho occurrence were tepected at the office of Messrs Brown, Campboll, and Co., but wore not to hand np till half-past threo o'clock. We ore in formed by a member of tho firm that the loss, as estimated In our telegram, is exag gerated. The only machinery destroyed, fie added, Is a planing machine, worth about fSOO. '
