A Communication.

Caliente, New. Sept 3
To The Public
The Prospector of the End inst,
contains an article published by the
editor in which he chastises the
Caliente fire department. In behalf Of
the boys of the Volunteer Fire de-
partment, we feel that 1t is our du.
ty to stand by them. AS there is no
salary in such work, and. they are
always willing, and on hand. and do
their duty to the best of their ability.
We are very much surprised to
think that the editor of the Prospect.
or would publish anything Of the kind
as it gives the public a wrong idea
Of our town.
In regard to the leaky hose, the
hose Is in first class shape; in fact
the whole water system Is in fine con.
dition and for town of its size, we
have a water system to be proud OF
We have had several fires which
might have been very disastrous to
our town only for the prompt action
of our volunteer boys, assisted by
the citizens. for which they deserve
great credit; and we only hope we
will be as fortunate in the future. as
We have been in the past and receive
the same able assistance from our
volunteer boys.
Respectfully,
Caliente Fire Commissioners.
