Terrence Mcmahon, Janitor Of the
Eureka Fire Department, yesterday
submitted . report Of the status of the
the different companies, and made Va.
rious timely suggestions, q syhopsis OF
which we give below:
To the Honorable Board OF County
Commissioners.
Gentlemen: The following will show
to you the present status and condition
OF the Eureka Fire Department:
The Eureka Hook Il Ladder Conn.,
pany, No. l, IL supplied viii all the
necessary equipments, such as hooks,
ladders, buckets, etc. A portion of the
appsrxt as needs painting.
The Hose Carriage Of Rescue No. 1
Is In splendid condition, carrying $50
feet OF hose, all OF which Ii In good or
der, and capable OF standing any press
ure that may he applied. There is
also 80 feet Of hose in the house, kept
IS . reserve.
Knickerbocker Hose Company No.
2 Is auxiliary to the Hooks, the two
companies having been consolidated.
1t carries 600 feet of hose on the reel,
400 feet OF which 10 in good condition.
The remaining 200 feet Is no reliable.
Richmond Hose Company No. 3 is
supplied with 500 feet Of hose. Four
hundred feet OF this Is in good order,
the other 100 feet Of hose Is old; single
riveted, leather hose. the couplings Of
which leak badly. In the event of this
bursting while In use al a fire, the de-
lay that would epsue in removing the
leaky length and recoupiing- which
cannot be done without shutting of the
water would retard the company in
their operations, and allow the fire to
gain great heAdw
The new lire plugs will prove Of
great advantage 10 the town, and their
location IL excellent.
The Department has in the neighbor-
hood Of l2O members. and Is composed
Ut our be>t citizens; many Of whom
are old and tried iir-msn. having seen
service in New York, Philadelphia,
Boston and on the Pacific coast. They
are efficient and skillful, and our Fire
Department will rival that OF any
mountain town on the Coast.
Respectfully. TERRENCE MCMAHON.
Janltor OF tie Fire Department.

Messrs. Read and wescoatt have
completed q magnificent glass model
Of the Eureka Consolidated aud Rich.
mond mines, made by them TO the or.
der OF the English commissioners, and
designed to show at . glance the int.
rior workings Of both properties from
the groupings dow n to the lowest point
reached. The model Is 4 feet Z inches
In length, 3 feet 8 inches wide, 3 feet
high, and consists of a wooden frame
grooved to receive plates Of glass, each
separate plate representing a level. On
these plates tracings Of the drifts.
wines, upraises, shafts, etc. are made,
that portion Of the work being done in
black pigments. while the ore bodies
are represented in red. By It's aid the
locati0n Of all the bodies of ore that
have been worked in either mine can
be seen their extent, direction. inclina-
ton and angles plainly demonstrated,
and the whole resources OF the prop
erty laid bare to the eye. One Of the
most Interesting features of the model
Is the tracing of the celebrated conn.,
promise line, and the representation Of
the Potts chamber. One can see how
that line cut through the deposit ut
that point. and gain an idea OF the i'm
mepsIty Of the prize commended for in
the great law suit. There are many
other Interesting features, notably the
vein of the present workings between
the con and fourth levels of the
Richmond, In the neighborbood of the
LiZzette tunnel, and the ninth and
tenth levels Of the Eureka Consoli
dated. The profile Of the hill Is sccu.
rstely shown by can of upright
pieces Of glass cut TO conform with
the outline, and surmounting the
frame. The model will be shipped to
London to-day, and will be used TO ex
plain to the resident English stock
holders the present status and condi-
ton OF the Richmond mine and Its re-
lation to the adjoining locations. Its
construction reflects great credit in the
accuracy and ingenuity Of Messrs.
We~cOatt and Read. and Is q standing
compliment to their skill and comps-
tency. Not only does their work give
a clear idea Of the underground work.
ings of the two mines, but il is also
constr 1cted in such a nianne that all
future operations can be traced on the
glass without trouble, ~ the movable
plates can be removed in a moment
and the lines added as they occur.
such models made of our mines, and
placed in the companies Offices at San
would enable those moi
in the technical and confusing
terms applied to the interior economy
of mines to understand the situation
without explanation. We believe tina,
the time will come when they will be
generally used for the purpose men,
above. as they ara entirely
practical and worth more than all the
maps ever drawn.
