A meeting of the Veteran Volunteer Fire- men’s Association was held at the hall, 19th and H streets on a recent evening, Mr. J. H. Richards, president, and Mr. J. J. Peabody, secretary. Mr. John T. Given introduced Mr. Ros A. Fish, who had been invited to address the association on the San Francisco (Cal.) Vol- unteer Firemen, and he was received with applause. Mr. Fish, in the course of his remarks, said: “The first fire in San Francisco was about 6 o'clock a. m., December 24, 1849, which originated in the Denison Exchange on Kearney street, and burned several blocks, the loss being estimated at $4,000,000. At this fire everything was done that brave hearts and willing hands could do to stop the spread of the flames, but with cloth lined buildings and but two inefficient en- gines nothing could be saved. One of these engines was an old English engine, owned bythe firm of Starkey, Janion & Co., and the | other the little one which was built in New York in 1820, ‘for ex-President Martin Van Buren, and afterward purchased by the city gine was paraded through Washington a few weeks ago.) We also labored under the disadvantage of not having either cisterns or hydrants to get water from, but had to came up to where street now is.

Broderick (afterward United States Senator, and killed by Terry in a duel), George H. Hossefross, Geo. W. Green, Wm. McKibben, Benj. Ray, Charles W. Cornell, John A. McGlynn, ‘John L.| Duckie, met to take steps toward organizing @ fire department, and on January 24, 1850, the city council decided to form a fire de- partment, and on that date appointed Fred ae of the Monumentais as chief en- eer. “The first report by Chief Kahler to the and council was made May 9, 1850, and gave the strength of the department ab fol- of San Francisco for $3,000, (This little en-! depend upon the bay, which at that time, jlersdorf of the northwest, and the burning debris carried H 3!

R. Whitney was elected chief, C. S. Case, Wm. McKibben and R. R. Harris, assistant engineers. Other Fires. “The next fire was 4 o'clock a.m., May 4, 1850, which originated in the United States Exchange, next door to where the fire of December 24, 1849, originated. The loss was estimated at $4,000,000, “The next fire, June 14, 1850; it origin- ated on Sacramento street, below Kearney, loss, $3,000,000, “The companies mentioned as being pres- ent were the Empire, Protection, Howard and the Monumental, with their three en- gines, and the hook and ladder companies. “It was in May, 1850, that Mayor Ges Geary, afterwards governor of Pennsylvania, pur- chased two New York engines, one of which he gave to Empire and the other to Protection Engine Companies. The next fire was at 4 o'clock a.m., September 17, 1850; it originated in the Philadelphia House, on Jackson street; estimated loss, 000, “The next fire was December 14, 1850; it originated in an iron building on Sacra. mento pn below Montgomery street, Joss, $1,000,¢ “The next tome was at 11 o'clock Feeyd May 3, 1851; it originated in the paint and paper- ing shop of Baker on Clay street, opposite the Plaza, loss, $12,000,000. “The next fire was at 11 o'clock a.m., Sun- day, June 22, 1851; it originated in the lumber yard of Kirbey and Bennett, at the northeast corner of Pacific and Powell streets, loss, $5,000,000, “The first parade in honor of the admis-| sion of California as a state, was October 28, 1850; the news having been received by the steamer as in those days | we had neither railroad nor telegraph com- munication. “On that occasion Col. Jonathan D. Stevenson was grand marshal, and the ode; ‘was composed by Mrs. E. W. Wills. First Parade. “The fifth division was headed by the fire department, having for marshal David C. Broderick. His aids were James S. Weth- erel, J. Beckett, William Bartlett, A. C. Wakeman, Harvey Sparks and Ros. A. Fish. The following companies are men- tioned as being in the parade: Howard, California,Knickerbocker, and Monumental, hook and ladders, St. Francis, Howard and Sansome. “In connection with the early volunteer fire department, I will quote an abstract that was published at that time to make a comparisoin between then and now. ‘San Francisco would laugh were it said that we flattered the fire department. Does a man praise his right arm for performing its wonderful functions? Yet the fire de- partment is the right arm of San Fram cisco.” “And thus we went along with our glor- jous volunteer department, and I will say without contradiction that a more fear- less, self-sacrificing and noble set of men than the old volunteer fire department could not be found in the histories of the world. Men who spent their best energies and their money for the benefit of their fellow citizens. The veterans of San Fran- cisco, known as the exempt firemen, now occupy the old Monumental engine house on the Plaza. This building was built by the Monumentals and cost $10,500, taking the place of the old frame, October, 1850. On this was placed the first bell put up by Americans on the Pacific coast, 4 rang out the joyous news of the admission of California as a state. It is now, as it should be, in the possession of the Cali fornia Pioneers in their hall. This bell | wag raised and paid for by volunteer fire- men, and its cost was $1 per pound. “The city hall bell which is now over the city hall arrived there on the ship Morn- ing Light, February 11, 1854,and was placed in position April 6, 1854, where it remain until after the earthquake of October 22. 1868. It was then taken down apvoniiean 25, 1868, and moved to Brenham Place, and on February 5, 1869, it was placed in its present position. The last alarm that was) struck by the old hall bell, sounding the death of our glorious old volunteer fire de- | partment, was at 11:14 o'clock p.m., cember 2, 1866. “The first alarm sounded to cali out the | paid department was from box 54, at 2:54 o'clock a.m., December 1886, for a fire at the northeast corner of Folsom and 24 street A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Fish, and he was elected a life member, In re- turning thanks for the honor, -Mr. promised at some future time to give some of his personal reminiscences. National Theater Fire. Mr. Given, in speaking of the fire at the | National Theater on March 5, 1845, said that he was then a member of the Franklin company and was engaged in business at the southwest corner of 13th street and the avenue. He was at home when he heard the cry of “fire! fire!” and the patter of feet on the theater steps, and the light shone through the windows. In those days an alarm of fire was electrical, not drowned by the noise and confusion and rattle of cable car lines. In a short time there were from 5,000 to 10,000 people at the corner. He responded at once, but remembering that he had in the house two kegs of pow- der, and not knowing how far the fire would extend, he removed them, taking one under each arm, to the yard of a friend on lith street. The wind was blowing from Fish | come from the depot to the inquire about some legislation in was interested. There was nothing dangerous than a nightshirt and a tooth- brush in the handbag to which the Senators imagined he clung with care.

Yet the smart- rae taeeng~ ag in the whole body fell into the lobbyist trap of the and were worked like marionettes. i Everybody thing is kept, and the patrons linger over their demi-tasse for an hour or more think- ing over the joys of life. Monsieur, who owns the place, but is now so wealthy that he remains at home and lets his sons run things, came there the other evening with madame. Most of the guests knew him; those that did not might easily have guess- ed who they were from the sudden activity of all the ters. “Gaspard The star waiter was about to turn one somersault which would have landed at his employer's table, when the latter closed his eyes in a significant way. “Oui, m'sieu!” said He rushed to the bar and began to crack a lump of ice into infinitesimal pieces. Wi what epicurean drink monsieur had ew | rost of the guests watched considerable interest. When he had — ped the ice sufficiently fine he filled two claret glasses with it, packing it tight. In three steps he was at monsieur’s table, where he placed one glass of ice before madame and the other before monsieur. Each bowed politely and began to turn the giass around by the stem. Gaspard rushed to the dumb waiter which leads to the wine cellar and shouted: “Une bouteille, numero troi cent qua’ va” six!” The guests wondered what it was that had called for, What happiness | it must be, they thought, to be the proprie- | tor of such a restaurant! One had only to jmod one’s head and the rarest of wines | would be brought forth by waiters whose | dexterity and celerity were heavenly.

But conjecture was cut short by the rumbling of the ascending dumb waiter. returned to monsieur’s table, took the two glasses, and poured the ice upon a plate. He then brought forward a small bottle, wiped it with the utmost care, drew the cork most gingerly, and then slowly — carefully filled the two glasses with ge and madame sipped the beer slowly and with great relish. coe CALIFORNIA GOLD MINES. Vast Sw of Wealth Taken From ‘Them in Forty-Six Years. From the San Francisco Chronicle. It is positively known that the gold mines of California have, since they were first dis- covered, just forty-six years ago, added to the wealth of the world just $1,500,000,000 How much more they should be credited with there is no means of knowing. This great bulk of the precious metal is known, | however, to have been derived from those mines because it has passed through the regular channels of trade—the express office, the bank and the mint—where account could | be kept of it. But, in addition, vast quan- tities have been washed from the gravel and crushed from the quartz which did not pass through such channels, and whose | amount cannot therefore even be conjec- | tured. The Chinese, fo> example, have been ex- tensive and persistent miners of gold since almost the earliest discoveries. In many laces they have labored continuously in the j same localities for thirty or forty years, and, manifestly, they would not have done so had they not been well paid fo> their la- bor, For despite the popular impression to the contrary, your Mongolian has as lively la sense of the value of his services as the average Caucasian, and he is not one whit fonder of thoowing away his time and mus- ular energy. Yet despite the fact that thousands of Chinese have for years found lucrative employment in mining, no ade- quate calculation of the sum thus realized jhas ever been made. They do not trust their gold to the exp2ess companies to a | great extent, it does not go through the j regular channels, and hence no account is taken of it. That the sum they have taken | out is vast everyone who has ciaims to ac- curate knowledge on the subject is con- vinced. How large it really has been cam only be conjectured. To the sums taken by the Chinese must be ided a conside-abie quantity of gold dust washed out ty white miners in the early years and carried by them personally to their homes in the east and in foreign lands, | Millions of dollars were thus disposed of, conce-ning which no return was made in | the statistics giving the output of the gold | mines of California as approximating the great sum mentioned at the outset. — ag wee elected mayor of Tuesday, by a majori- women casting 123 Mrs. Anna | Pleasanton, ty of 8 in a total of 3 votes. oe Pure food. exnosition every y afternoon and evening at Convention Hall.
