AN UNLUCKY DAY.
A Chapter Of Accidents in the
C9ur d'Alenes.
Two Locomotives Knocked Out
and a Barge of Ore Sunk.
The Loss Was About Sia,OOO-Eventfui
Experience OF the Kootenafs
Passengers.

Monday will be remembered as q de-
cidedly unlucky day In the history of the
C1ur d'Alene Railway and Navigation
Company, and 10 the passengers who came
down on the train from Wardner TO the
Mission and from there TO CGur d'Alene
City by boat the experience was one that
they will never forget. II was day and
night of terror. The story is best told In
the words of j. r. Marks, one Of the pas.
sengers. who was seen by REVIEW re.
porter at the Windsor hotel last night.
later We started from Wardner our
engine ran of the track" said he. "An.
other locomotive was telegraphed for, and
| tell you II was relief when she finally
came In sight. Blu. before she reached us
her boilers got out OF order, and she too
was disabled We felt like shipwrecked
crew that saw ship coming to their res.
cue sink within their sight, and all hope
gone. More delay and we got started.
After we got aboard the steamer Kootenai,
to take us across to Cpur d'Alene City,
another chapter of accidents was added.
THE ice on the lake is four inches
thick. and we had hard time making
our way through it, as we had two barges
loaded with ore In tow. IL was dark,
dismal night. Large cakes Of ice crashed
against the sides of the boat, and every
now and then there was dull, heavy
sound made by the barses that frightened
the passengers. Pretty soon we
found that it was impossible to
tow both barges with safety, and one
of them was abandoned in the river, and
tied to the stump Of tree on shore. After
proceeding several miles the other barge
sprung leak, and as 1t sunk II gave the
steamer jerk. We were near Sandy
Point. about half way across the lake, and
at first we thought we were aground, or
perhaps worse yet, sinking. The captain Of
the boat acted prompt and quick.
II knew that the steamer was all right,
and that the swaying of the vessel was
caused by the sinking barge. He ordered
the ropes cut, and in an instant we we're
steady on the waters. The sinking barge
was soon lost to sight, and we sailed to
the end of our journey. We arrived at
Coeur d'Alene City twelve hours late-at 8
o'clock in the morning instead of O'Clock
at night"
The sunken barge was loaded with
100 tons of ore from the Granite and
Sierra Nevada mines, for which the rail-
road company Is liable to the extent of
800 ton. An effort will be made TO
raise the barge and save US much ore as
possible. The damage to the locomotives
will amount to several thousand dollars.

roughing it in the mountains Messrs.
Weber, Steinmetz, Chamberlin, Bell and
Donnelly. the lucky prospectors have
reaped golden reward. These gentle
men have other valuable prospects further
back from the lake which are said TO be ~
rich as the mines just bonded. Three
