Condition: Good
Description: Ontonagon's paper mill fire is said to be under control but this picture reveals that things are not as rosy as they seem. This car load of waste paper is on fire and the fire units are endeavoring to quell it. About five of the Milwauke Road cars where similarly affected but there were no damaged cars of finished paper product. Not only will the mill suffer from the fire but the railroad also will sustain losses both in business and in damages. [Fire fighters hose down one of the burning box cars.]
