Dear ,Vr: 1 am In rccelptof yours of the 21st Inst, rouucetlngmetoglvo you my opinion of Monumental No. 0 steam fire engine of this city. I com ply wllh your request with pleasure, especially as I can truthfully commend her as being in every respect a very superior steam llro engine; better, 1 think, than either of tlie other fout;in the tiold Hill and Virginia Flro Depart ments. Wo have hero in Hold Hill and Virginia five slcamcrs of different makers. Tho ono in Gold Hill is by Geffreys; of the four In Virginia, one Is by tlie Sllsby Manufacturing Co., (rotary), 0110 by the Amoskeng Manu facturing Co., one by Button, and the one you refer lo Is by thoClnpp A Jooes Manufacturing Company of Hudson, N. Y. You will see that we have a very good opportunity of conipuring the merits of engines built by tlio most prominent builders of stenm fire en gines In the Vnlled States. Tho prin cipal points nf excellence, in tho ClrippA Jones' engine are; 1st. The holler Is a very rapid gen erator of s:eam, making stcata faster than nuy boiler I know of (and I have had considerable experience with elcnni boilers). 2d. Simplicity of construction of en gines and pumps, every part of them being easily got at for cleaning, pack ing, repairs, etc. 3d. The superior material, workman ahip and finish found in this engine. 4th. lireat capacity as compared lo weight of engine. In short, as au eftectivo and serviceable steam lire engine, I think (he Clapp A Jones the best. For fancy playing, No. ("a hoye say they are ready to put up coin that they ean get nway with any steam fire en glue now on tl.e Pacific Const.
