 Dexter Creek June 29. - Dexter Creek is witnessing the latest season in its history, but by untiring effort things are gradually shaping themselves for q prosperous summer. Almost all the work to be done this year will be com pany work, and as soon as the Miocene ditch is completed q great deal of work will, no doubt. be done. The Nome Exploration company, better known as the Kelly company, are doing probably the best work and the most. This company is fortunate in having a corps of officers who are the embodiment Of all those qualities that gO to make d business venture successful. Messrs. J. W. and Bert Kelly were on the ground within 24 hours of the time they landed.
 Mir. Soper, superintendent of the works at Nome river, also has finished his work and placed everything in iti lilllltNlldlt bl'tl Ol the pumps.
 Walter King, purchasing agent, is here, there and everywhere, looking at likely properties, and is on the alert for properties that have any apparent value.
 F. NJ. Hayes, who has the contract for building the pipe line, has been busy since landing, and with the able n nf his intendents, D. Taylor and $. McElfresh, has almost completed his task.
 The transportation department is under the direction of Mr. Steele and is well looked after.
 Besides these, this company has d large force of men skilled in their different lines of work. Two drilling machines are working all the time, and it is safe to say that more knowledge will be gained by this means of the value of the ad jacent hills than by all the prospecting that has hitherto been done.
 The Miocene company has large crews al work on their ditch and their different properties on Anvil and Glactct, ahd expect to dc more work than ever before. Uu SHOW guich two h4crauIc NjCNatu', die being built eacn If Wulch win require 20 inches of water. The camps ot tie AliUcene company have been removed from Dexter, a- that company will not oper- crate much Ou tnis creek. The water hom the NoCcnt should be Ill lu u very short tune.
 The Pioneer company ~!li also uo considerable Woril tule ~aHImer. All ut thcu claims arr Il ,haf, to commence work.
 Muc.l comment i, heard ii regard to the claims and parts of claims upon which iu!unctlonS have been holding since last summer. At the present time it seems impossible for any work to be done on No. 1 and upper 10 be- cause of the late time tor holding court.
 On No. l Grass gulch, the banner claim of this section, some good work will be done. O'Sullivan and Wilkens, the owners, and the former practical miner himself, can congratulate them selves on securing the services of Bert Deleray for another season. There has, perhaps, never come to Nome a man more fully qualified to do mining in any phase than Mr. Deleray.
 On the Summit the laymen, Schuler and Black, are preparing to sink an other shaft.
 Al Miller, superintendent of the Nome Exploration company on Grass gulch, has l5 men at work taking out been purchased by this company and their shaft is being used tor hoisting. Little work is being done as yet on [ ,,a lNtarn t.t of ha m water has been peluk for some time. Pyle and Adams will work on Nos. l, ?, , and Dexter, and Nos. l and Left Fork will be worked by the Pioneer company; No. 6 by Sverdrup and iljan: No. by the Miocene company, and No. by Leo LoewenherZ.
 Frank Harker has been working on bench opposite No. s and has found bedrock in two or three holes.
