Excerpts Taken From St. Paul Papers Of
Forty Years Ago.

makes the history of that or
Iganization interesting at the
present time. In the earliest
days of our city some protec-
ton against FIRE was needed
and the result was the organi-
cation of a ladder company
Among those who organized il
were r. w. McCloud, r. c.
Knox, C. D. Elicit, John Nc
Cloud, c. p. v. Hull, Thomas
Richie, J. r. jerks and others"
The company at once purchas-
ed several ladders by subscrir-
ton The subscription list is
still in existence. The pioneer
boys used to run to fires with
the ladders on their shoulders.
Three of these ladders the
company still own and use. In
1855 the McCloud Bros. and
Thomson Richie purchased in
Philadelphia a small fire en-
CINE and presented it to the
city. The little squirt gun
(about the size of cook stove)
did real good service at several
fires. 1t is still in existence.
On Nov. 6, 1854, the Pioneer
Hook and Ladder company was
organized. In 1855 the truck
now used was purchased by
populur subscription for 5000
from a defunct company in
Philadelphia. 1t was shipped
by river from Pittsburg, was
sunk, laid in the water for sew
eral months, almost ruined by
rust and was not received here
till the fall of 1856.
On Feb. %, 1856, the Pioneer
company was chartered. The
city then purchased them their
truck and rented them a house.
Soon after the organization Of
Hope and Minnehaha Engine
companies the necessity of
some general controlling and
central organization for joint
management and cooperation
while on duty became appar-
ent. Accordingly, OH Deem
Der Fl, 1857, a meeting of all
the companies was held, and
the Fire Company of the City
of ST. Paul was duly organic
ed with suitable constitution
and bylaws.
Hon. P. kidder, Judge of the
Territory of Dakota, left with
his family yesterday on board
the steamer Muscatine for his
new home in that embryo
state.
Gen. G. G. Andrews and
Hon. Ignatins Donnelly are
stamping the state together
for the Republican ticket.
The Hudson Bay company
have forwarded to this city
5000 mink skins inclosed in
twelve ordinary sized boxes,
and which are probably the
most valuable packages of
furs ever brought to ST. Paul.
They are valued at over $780,
600, and SO costly is that pop
ular and fashionable fur that
their weight in silver would
not be enough to purchase
them. Efforts havesbeen made
by Mr.. Ullman and Mr. Moore
to buy them, but they will
probably be forwarded to New
York, where mink sets are all
the rage among the shoddyites
regardless of cost. New York
city has superseded London as
the highest fur market in the
world, furs now being import
ed into that city from Europe
for the first time in history.

Capt. T. NJ. Newson, our
genial and esteemed friend,
has been brevetted major in
the commissary department
for meritorious service. Camp
Pope, under his energetic man
agement, became quite a mill
tary post in 1862. 1t was there
he fitted out Gen. Sibley's In
dian expedition with $4,000
rations. Since then he has
served in turn at St. Cloud,
Fort Ripley and Fort Smelling.

Many of our citizens have
spent hundreds Of dollars and
much valuable time since the
gold excitement began, in fruit
less expeditions to discover
the whereabouts Of the Yer
million gold mines in the
northern wilds of Minnesota.
Guided alone by scientific
knowledge, Prof. Games, our
state geologist, penetrated for
miles into the gloomy depths
of the forests of St. Louis Co.
and discovered wide and ex-
tensive veins of quartz richly
laden with gold Upon the as
