A telegram was received this morning
from Bismarck stating that the steamer
Butte slipped from the ways at Bismarck
last night. striking the steamer Macleod
aud sinking her in feet Of water. The
Butte was damaged slightly.
Bismarck Tribune, Nov. IA: The season
Of steamboating on Tie Missouri river this
year has been from the 10Th Of April, on
which date the Eclipse left for Benton. to
the l1th of November, when the Butte and
Macleod arrived from Cow Island. This
shows seven months Of navigation. The
Butte was the last boat to leave Cow Island
this year Nov. 8, which is eleven days later
than ever boat left that point, the Macleod
leaving the day before. The first boat to
reach Benton last tpring was the Col. Mac
leod, which started from here April 10Th
and arrived at Benton on the 9th, being
the earliest ever boat arrived at that place.
The Benton arrived on the same day. The
Coulson line boats are all below, most of
them wintering at Yankton.
The boats wintering here are the Butte,
Of the Benton line, the Macleod, of the
Baker line, Bachelor, rofthe Yellowstope
line, the Eclipse, the government steamer
Sherman and the transfer boats Union, Den
yer and Northern Pacific. The boats this
season have had plenty of business. but the
rates have been 20 low that but small profits
are claimed. The outlook for next season
is good. The river has been improved so
that navigation above Cow Island is not SO
dangerous and bosts will be able to make
through trips later in the season.
All the boats are in now except the Sher-
man, which is below after company of

evening to count their craps. 1t was not
decided which boat has the fastest time on
record, to Butord, the Bachelor or the Sher-
man. The Bachelor waves the champion

sign. Many bets were offered on both sides
but none taken as the pile on either tide
was too large. The Butte boys had their
say and claimed the fastest atern wheel time

The KountZ and Peck lines of steamers did

put several new boats on the river next wear
and do a rushing business.

A large number of young men will pur-
chase diaries for 1879, and they will take up
their pencils with o firm determination to
keep track of every day in the year.
Every young man should keep a diary.
When he is old and gray his grandchildren
will fish it out Of the rag-bag, and find it
moro valuable than gold and silver. There
is no set style Of jottins down thoughts
and events but perhaps it may be we'll
to give the record Of 1878, as taken from
the pocket diary Of an average young man:
January 1st--Went to see my girl.

smoking, chewing, being out nights, bot
ting, going to the opera, and shall try to
save SIC, 900. January 7th--Went to see
my girl. Lost q box Of cigars somehere.

BartIett-s Revenge.

Mr.. Bartlett, of the Opera House, is
what Artemus Ward would rave called a
revengeful ''sort of . cuss." The SENrI-
NEL's representative has lectured him
soundly on several occasions. on account
Of the scarcity of stoves in the hall. Bart
lett finally promised m additional one,
and kept his promise faithfully. but he
owed the reporter a grudge, which he pro-
ceeded to pay last might in a manner pc
c~uliarly vain. Accusing us in the rear Of
the hall he solemnlv asserted that the best
seat in the house was at our disposal, and
kindly volunteered to act as a guide. We
followed him in guileless innocence, and
found ourselves in close proximity to the
front stove. To say that it was hot there
would be drawing it mild-it was 10 de-
grees hotter than Halifax. Bartlett
smiled benignly, aud hoped we were ''com-
Portable" We were q good dead more com-
Portable than he will be some Of these days,
we promise him.

The Future Of Tenn P.hmte.

The Tybo Sun is informed by Mr.. John
Young that the outlook for TEN .Pshute is
especially bright. The wyandotte Com
pany is pushing work rapidly in all their
mines, under the supervision Of Mr.. G. G.
Robbins, Of Eureka. A large amount Of
very high-grade ore has been extracted,
and is now lying on the dump. There is
ore enough in sight, in the C%ompany's
mines. to run q twenty-stamp mill for a
year, and he thinks a mill will shortly be
erected to reduce IL. About forty men are
in the employ of the Company, under the
~foremanship Of Mr.. John Killen. George
Russell, a brother Of John Russell, who
was burned to death at Duckwater, has
gone to Philadelphia tofnegotiate the sale
Of some Of the mines owned by David Ser
vice and himself. Mr.. Young thinks there
is but little doubt of his succeeding in the
undertaking. The mines which he is en-
~deavoring to sell are all splendid properties,
and only need capital and development to
enroll them among the bullion-producing
mines of the State.

The Flooded Mines.

Many Of the stock sharps, says the Gold
Hill Ne,rs, are predicting that things will
be lively around the flooded mines about
the last of January. 1t is sure that these
mines are to be cleared Of water very soon.
The lightning drift has only about 100 feet
to run. As it made 81 feet last week, the
length Of time necessary for its completion
may be calculated. Preparations are in
the meantime being made to rend the
water through to the Requa shaft as soon
as connection is completed. Savage has
it's pipe already up to tho mouth of the
drift, and the Hale 4 Norcross will be
ready in time with it's preparations. The
pumps at the Requa shaft have been
worked so as to get '~'waywised," and
things will be lively before February, or
there is nothing in the outlook. 1t is in
view Of all this that the stock sharps pre-
dict the next rise to be in these mines.

~SampIing Works.

The Ruby Hill Mining Report says: II
has been suggested that some enterprising
firm erect sampling works for the accom-
mediation Of the miners Of this section.
They need not be very costly; for S., 600,
judiciously expended, would meet the re-
quirements Of the camp for the present,
and more extensive additions could easily
be made after it is placed on asolid paying
basis. 1t would certainly be . great con-
venience, for in this way prospectors, who
have only q small quantity Of ore, can
have it sampled, and sell it without the
trouble Of having it reduced. We hope
some n with q small capital will give this
matter attention.

From the Mining Report.l

The Needle shaft is rapily going down.
Some assays from the ledge show nearly
$4,000 in silver, and a few dollars in gold,
and there seems to be q large amount Of
this ore. The mine is owned by the Charter
Tunnel Company.
There were several claims jumped on
Prospect Mountain yesterday, the former
l~ocators having neglected to do the proper
assessment work.
The recent strike in the Connolly mine
proves to be even richer than at first an
ticipated; the ledge is evidently getting
wider.
Some stir was created among our bust
ness men this week by the sudden depar-
ture Of . debtor.
The Silver Common is still shipping ore
which yields very handsome returns.

observation that he would not do so, is not

"GraduaIly Going Down.,

an article under the above heading in which

that the country about Gold Hill and vir-
ginia City is gradually sinking in conse-
quence Of the very extensive removal Of it's

stock SUFFERING for water.

The Winnemucca Silver State is informed
by cattle men that stock running at large
are suffering for water. The intensely cold
weather Of last week has frozen up the
water courses, which, in consequence Of
continued dry weather. were very low. and
makes it very difficult for cattle running at
large in many parts Of the country TO get
