UNWATERING THE DEXTER.
Electric Pumps in Lower Workings
Will Soon Be Uncovered.

For several months past Duke Mayhem
has had force of twenty-five men work
ing night and day on the engine and
pumps at the famous old Dexter mine at
Tuscarora, New, in an earnest endeavor
TO unwa ter the property. He has now
reached depth of 275 feet and has only
twenty-five feet further TO go before I'M
covering the big electric pumps for years
buried in the bottom Of the S00-fOOt shaft;
but just at this time he is UP against the
hardest formation of his life, for the coal
supply has been exhausted and the roads
are blocked, and it is necessary to use
sage brush for fuel to keep his engines
going
Months of hard labor and a large
amount of money has been expended in
this work, and IT is hoped that this effort
will be crowned with success. 1t means
much to the whole Tuscarora district, as
it viii be followed by aggressive opera
tons in several of the properties, and this
viii certainly stimulate work in others.
The district has produced $30.O00OO3, and
the work now framed up by Mr.. Mayhem
Will again put the camp in the producing
list. There is not a shadow of doubt as
to the amount or extent Of the mineral
area in this district so it only requires &C
tive exploitation to again demonstrate its
great wealth. The sinking of two or
three deep working shafts will disclose
large shoots carrying great values, and
will not only return enormous interest
on the investment of those directly inter
ested in that enterprise, but will stimu-
late mining generally to such an extent
as has not been equaled for twenty-five
years.

MINE IN PRIME CONDITION
MILL QUESTION TO BE SETTLED
THIS WEEK.

Comprehensive detailed reports were
submitted by the various officials at the
annual meeting Of the Yankee Consoli-
dated Mining company yesterday. The
financial exhibit showed that the year
opened with S73, 2SS. s. in the treasury; that
a $4,000 dividend had been paid; that
more than $4,000 had been spent in pros
pecting and new development work in the
mine and that the year had closed with
nearly as much of A treasury as II began,
namely, SIS 80 S. After deducting all ex-
penses for the year it was shown that the
mine had earned, net, $500. n Detailed
reports, in pamphlet form, VIII be mailed
to shareholders just as soon as it is pos
sible TO get them printed.
During the year 10 sea, 70l pounds of ore
from the Yankee mine was sold. OF this,
f. 81, 0S3 pounds was firSt-claSS and 5,9l2-
618 pounds was SecOnd-claSS. Lease ore
from the Mountain View company, s
grounds to the amount OF 1854 pounds
was marketed. while 191 S02 pounds re-
suited from the giving Of a lease in a
portion of Yankee territory. All or the
ore shipped sold for a total of $50, 1888.
Reports dealing with the physical con
dition Of the company's property made II
clear that the mine was in prime cOndl-
ton: that there IS exposed today more
ore than the ground has ever shown be-
fore. For the first time in the history
of the property, ore IS now being mined
on the 30O-fOOt level below the tunnel.
Last September a Wine was started down
IN ore from the 100 level and it has proven
continuous all the way TO the 200, wit4i
nothing TO Indicate its lateral limits at
any point between these levels. This ore
shoot has been connected up on the 2GG

ing the present year from that level

Shield. which he declares never looked as
well as it does today. He states that he
is now bending every energy to the open
ing of a fine body Of ore that has been
encountered in the lime beds above the

holes is making the deposit appear ali
the more extensive and valuable.
After d few days at the Carisa. where

is now being daily shipped to market, he
