It Is believed that the mill site Is
locate! on a glacier and that when
the blow descended, it caused the Ice
to slide down the hill carrying along
with It the concrete foundation.
Whatever the cause. It is certain the
mill can never be operated In Its
present location, but what steps will
be taken to put it on a more stable
foundation is not kbown at present.
The cost of moving the mill will be
