The Packet Boat “Minnie Schneider” 

The “Minnie Schneider” has severed its connection with the Alden Line, and 
will be run independently this season. In regard to a new packet which is now 
under construction at Lyons, the Galena Gazette says: “The sons of W. J. Young 
are building at Lyons a new packet, which it is reported here will be the 
fastest and most richly appointed on the river. It will be a formidable rival 
of the Diamond Jo fleet. Patrick Burke of Galena will be engineer and it is 
reported, but without confirmation, that J. V. McCarthy and Paul Gerlich of 
this city, veteran employees of the Youngs, will be pilots.”
