And Goes To the Bottom With q
Hundred Tons Of Coal On
Board.
Various Items Of Local News Gath

Tribune.
The Barge Goes Down.

Ii bad beginnings make good endings,
then assuredly the Plenty Coal Mining
company will prosper finally. The first
barge load OF coal which was taken from
the mine and started down the river is at
the bottom of the Missouri, with little or
no chance of it's being aver recovered.
An hundred tons of the Mercer county
fuel were loaded on the first barge to be
started down, and the steamer Castalia
started with the load il tow. The trip
as far as Painted Woods was made with
out trouble, but at about the same place
the Abner O'Neil sank last year there
was an accident, about which there are
conflicting reports, in which the barge
came out second best, and it settled to
the bottom in about three feet of water.
The sand washed away from under it
rapidly however, and when the Rosebud
passed the place on it's downward trip
yesterday morning; nothing but it's prov
was visible above the water.
The accident is to be regretted, as it
is especially discouraging at the begin
ming of the enterprise. The loss from a
financial point of view will be about
$1,000, beside the delay in getting coal to
points down the river. The successful
termination of the first trip would have
given confidence to the management,
and have been a good advertisement for
the Mercer county mines.
Mr.. Plenty left for the mine early yes
terday morning. How soon another trip
can be made cannot be said, but the
miners will be kept at work.

Fire In Jamestown.
Word was received in the city Sun
day, of a disastrous fire in jamestown
which originated, it is supposed, in the
loft Of the skating rink, where some
tramps we're sleeping. A high wind
was blowing, and the city had q narrow
escape from a disaster as severe as that
at Fargo. The rink was destroyed, as
was the Metropolitan block. The office
of the daily Capital was in the basement
of this, and is a total loss. The armory
Of Co. H was destroyed, but the uni.
forms we're saved. The Capital hotel
was another building to s%uccumb, and

barns we're burned. Some of the port

ings was saved. The loss is estimated
at $4,000, with insurance at about hall
the amount.
