Col. 2The Mayor and Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, consciousof the great service which might be rendered the city, in caseof another conflag:ration, by a well organized ans skillful corpsof Sappers and Miners, have called the attention of the Councilto the necessity of authorizing the creation of such anauxillary to the Fire Department.The First California Guards, believing such a corps to be moreof a military than a civil character , requiring from the extremely dangerous materials to be used, the strictest discipline and practiced skill, contemplated the organization, fromtheir own body, of an officered and disciplined company ofSappers and Miners, provided with appropriate equipment, andtrained to the service which they may be called upon to perform.A Committee has been appointed to confer with the authoritiesupon the subject. They will doubtless be well pleased toobtain the services of so experienced and well known a corpsas the Guards, and will extend every facility towards carryingout their praisworthy and public spirited intentions.( 5);

Page 2. col. 2We understand t hat for some time past Dr. Rabe has been activein recruiting a force to act as a company of Sappere and Miners,in case the Common Council should authori ze the organizationof such a corps. About twenty-five members have been enrolledfor this i mportant service. As the California Guards, a disciplined military corps, have under ta ken to form, out of theirown body, such a compeny, and as their particul r fitness forthe service is generally conceded, it is tmderstood that Dr.Rabe's comr any will withdraw in their f avor. Several membersof the Guards have had experience in milita r enginPPring,including the duties pertaining to the Sappers and 'Uners, andwill therefore by fully competent to instt ct the members ofthe company in the discipline and mode of using the implementsand materials appropriate to the service.
