That the Mine "Is Immense"

A salt Lake metallurgist and mining
investor, who is visiting the Dexter
mine at Tuscarora, New, at the pres
ent time, writes to a friend in this city
that the property lis simply immense %
and he goes on to say that if the mine
and mill do not produce 500, 600 per
month during this summer indications
and appearances count for nothing"
The writer then adds that adjoining
mines to the Dexter have produced
S50,00000O in the past, and that the
Dexter lis the cream Of them all.''
OF the old producers adjoining the
Dexter the Navajo has a record of pay
ing dividends Of $125, 900 per month for
long period, the mine having paid a
total in velvet money of over IS, 000,-
600. The Grand Prize, another ancient
producer, has a record of over IS, 000-
900. while the statement is made that
from the placer diggings of that section
the Monaghan has sent over Sc, 000, 00e

NEW THIRD ATENUE STOCK.
200, 900 shares Probably to BE offered at

The management Of the Third Avenue Rail-
road Company has decided to raise the money
necessary to meet the expenses of the i'm
provements ut present being made on tho road
by q large issue OF new stock. This. it is be-
lieved. will be all taken by the present stock
holders to whom it will be offered at par. al
though the stock OF the company Is quoted on
Wall street at 300.
Mr.. Edward Lauterbach said yesterday that
the new issue of stock would probably amount
to something like S2OOOO,OOO. The change in
| motive power from the cable to electricity on
the Third Avenue line and the other roads
controlled by the Third Avenue Railroad Com
pany will cost In the neighborhood Of 900

bach said. to fund the debt on tho Union Rail
way and the Dry Dock and Battery and Forty
second Street and st. Nicholas Avenue Rail-
roads.
The plan IA proposed for the raising Of this
| money" said Mr. Lauterbach. has yet to be
passed upon by the Board OF Directors and will
have to meet with the approval Of the stock
holders. For this reason 1t will probably be
| two or three weeks before such an issue is
made. The plan as contemplated is considered
to be better than to issue bonds for the same
| amount. There is no doubt that the stock will
all be taken by the present stockholders at its
par value. as it would be chance that none
would care to miss. considering the price at
which the stock is now quoted. Our experience
has been that the stock kholdcrs are always glad
