Latest From the Dexter.

The officers and shareholders of the
Dexter Mining company, whose prop
erty is located in the famous old gold
camp of Tuscarora, New, were highly
elated yesterday over reports just re-
ceived from the mine.
z. 0. Lee, of the firm of Booth, Lee
& Gray, of this city, who is one of the
officers of the company and who is now
on the ground supervising the develop
ment of the rev strike made in this
property, writes that the ore bodies are
growing in size and value as. work
progresses, and that from all indica-
lions this will develop into one of the
greatest gold producers in the west,
and he further says that the samples
of rich ore lately sent to the home Of
flee in Salt Lake do not come up, in
their gold values, TO the ore that is
now being taken from the mine; while
superintendent Parsons. who has
mined in the camp for the last 20 years,
says it is the largest, richest and most
permanent body of mineral ever eX-
posed in that district
The people of the camp are highly
excited over the discovery. and the
disclosure of such a magnificent body
of high grade mineral will have a
stimulating effect on the other mines
and claimholders of that locality, in
consequence of which it is confidently
expected that other finds of value will
be chronicled there in the near future.
A consignment of gold bullion came
in from the Dexter mill yesterday and
another shipment is expected within
the next few days.
The weather at Tuscarora has been
very disagreeable during the past
month. but it is believed that spring
will soon set in in earnest, when min
ing matters viii be carried on with
greater activity than ever.

-aE WILLARD HILL STRIKE.
Fine Body of Ore Disclosed in the
American Mine.

American Mine.
After months of toll and the expend-
iture of goodly sum of money, the
American Mining and Milling company
of Ogden has reason 10 feel that it is
"a long road in which there is no
turn and the ground for this belief
is the fact that within the past week
or so a most promising body of ore
has been disclosed in the workings of
the American mine, which is located
on Willard hill, about IA miles north of
that city.
A short time ago The Herald made
mention of the promising showing in
this property, and since that time the
indications have been growing more
and more favorable, until today it be-
gins to look as if this mine was now
entitled to a place on the shipping list.
From Hon. Moroni Poulter of Ogden,
who was in the city yesterday, 1t was
learned that since drifting on the vein
from the main tunnel an 1S-inch body
of ore had been disclosed that shows
average values of per cent copper, IL
ounces silver and $3.50 in gold to the
ton. Since cutting into the vein the
drift has been run a distance of five
feet on this class of mineral, and in
doing this over seven tons of good
shipping ore have been extracted and
stored III the ore anu lWO SIillo
of two men each are now working
steadily on ore, and as development
progresses the body of pay mineral is
growing in size in a most pleasing
manner.
The management of the company is
highly pleased over this splendid show
ing and is confident that the deposit
is a permanent one and that the mine
will soon rank as regular and steady
producer of marketable ore.
The people of Ogden are elated over
the strike, and well they may be, as
it demonstrates that the gate city of
the west is doubtless environed by
valuable deposits of mineral which,
with development, will make that place
the center of a big mining district. In
fact, as a result of the discovtry there
is no doubt but that Ogden people will
devote more time and money TO min
ing ventures. and that instead of go
ing TO outside camps in search of pay
ing propositions they will open them
up in goodly numbers near at home.
The American company expects to
make a shipment of ore from the new
strike at an early day.

ANOTHER ORE CONTRACT LET.
The Centennial-E Eureka Will Now
Make Heavy Cons;gnments.


Make Heavy Cons;gnments.
| The Herald has been assured that
within the next few days, or as soon
as the roads become passable. the Cen
tennial-Eureka, at Eureka, will begin
regular and heavy ore shipments, as
the company has Just entered into a
contract for the period of one year with
j. e. Bamberger for the output of this
great dividend-payer
For the past month or so the Cen
tennial-Eu has failed to appear on
the shipping list. excepting to a limited
extent, for the reason that it had no
contract, and the company was opposed
to entering the open market under the
existing conditions.
Mr.. BAN berger is the Utah repre-
sentative of the Philadelphia Smelling
q Refining company, of Pueblo, COL,
and although there were other bids in
he made an offer that was satisfactory
to all parties concerned, and carried off
the contract.
Mr.. Bamberger informs The Herald
that shipments will begin at an early
day, and that the consignments would
probably amount to at least 1000 tons
of ore monthly, which. in itself, is a
splendid output for any mine, and as
much of this will be high grade stuff,
the earnings of the mine will amount
to goodly sum during the life of the
contract.
At the office of the company it is
learned that the showing in the mine
is excellent, and it is stated that in
the underground workings of this mag
nificent property there is an immense
amount of ore uncovered ready to be
broken down for the market.
IT is a good thing for the district tbot
the Centennial Eureka will soon enter
the list as regular shipper, and it is
expected that other properties will soon
follow, and that within the next few
months the output of the camp will be
greater than ever before.

Tuscarora, New, March 29.-The town
of Tuscarora has a good location; ii
has good mines; the inhabitants are OF
the better class the whisky is super
fine and the girls are pretty and en-
| tertaininS; but the weather is-well
it isn't heaven. All this month it has
showed and bowed. 1t has been cold
and disagreeable until there isn't a
good natured man in camp. And to-
day a bowling blizzard is on the pro-
gramme, or rather, it is the entire pro-
gramme.
You should see some of the speci-
mems of gold ore that have been taken
out of the Dexter mine lately. In fact,
it isn't ore al all. 1t is just gold alloy
with little quartz, etc. l have never
seen anything equally as pretty in the
way of specimens as some lately mined.
The gauge is of a dark brown color,
and flakes of gold almost cover the
surface. making it appear as though the
gold, some pieces as large as three
pin heads, had been stuck on the rock
with mucilage. On this lead, which was
struck by a force of men under the
supervision of Mr. Frank Parsons, the
vein increases in size with depth. AT
the lowest workings the vein is three
up into the hundreds, and much of it
into the thousands. 1t is practically a
free milling ore, which Of course in
creases the value OF the strike greatly.
But don't let any one think that this
Parsons strike is on the only vein that
is to be found in Dexter ground. Be
sides it there are three north and south
veins, and two east and west veins.
One of the prettiest leads l have ever
seen is the manganese Vein of the
Dexter, which is a north and south
lead, about five feet wide, with the
prettiest walls imaginable. Ore from
this vein assays close to 800 and is
free milling. The only thing that
bothers the Dexter people is water,
but even that doesn't worry them, for
with the quality of ore that they have,
they could handle ten times the pres
ent amount of water, and still have
one of the best paying mines in the
state.
There is practically nothing doing
here outside of the Dexter, but if the
snow ever ceases to fall and dry land
appears" there Will be a large amount
of work done. The Dexter strike has
excited people.
Tuscarora has turned out some good
mining men in her time. Webb, who
takes John Hays Hammond's place in
South Africa, was formerly assayer at
the Grand Prize" mine here.
PERSONALS
E. o. Lee, member of the well known
firm of Booth, Lee & Gray of Salt Lake,
and stakeholder and director of the
Dexter company, is in town, and is so
much interested in the new strike that
we hope TO keep him here all sum-
mer.
William Kelly the well known Butte
capitalist and mining expert, has been
in town all winter. Mr. Kelly is nego-
tiating for the purchase of seven large
properties in Tuscarora and vicinity.
Mr.. Kelly is a general favorite and we
hope he will remain with us.
Johnnie Murphy, the foreman at the
Dexter, will leave soon TO take charge
of the development work on a valuable
group of claims at Bull Run, 35 miles
north. the claims being owned by Mr.
Murphy, Frank Cureant, Seth Rose
berry and others.
