Sixty million board feet of lumber fed the flames that reached from the river nearly to the [[DUBUQUE COUNTY COURTHOUSE]] and from 5th Street to 14th. The cost was estimated at $165,000 (3) In July the [[CHICAGO GREAT WESTERN RAILROAD]] was sued for $500,000 after reports of sparks from a freight train being seen minutes before the fire was reported. (4) The company rebuilt and in 1895 the company constructed a mill near West Duluth, Michigan with a capacity of 15 million feet.
