SAYS BIG MISSOURI EXPECTED TO BE
 PRODUCING SOON

producing stage soon and will be on a dividend basis within the time usually required for such a large undertaking, is the outstanding declaration of a letter to stockholders issued by the Big Missouri Mining Go. on October l. An additional in- teresting feature of the com munication is an urge to stock holders to hold on to their Big Missouri stock and eventually realize a handsome return on their investment
 Following is the full text of the letter.
 To the stockholders of the Big Missouri Mining Company:
 "The Big Missouri Mining Company recently consummat. ed a deal with the Buena Vista Mining Company-a subsidiary of the Consolidated Mining & Smelling Company of Trail, B. C., whereby the Big Missouri Mining Company has turned over the management of the property to the Buena Vista Mining Company, in consider ation of the latter company do ing an extensive amount of de velopment work on the Big Missouri ground. This develop ment work is already under way, and a large force of mer are at work in addition, widen ing the road from the Premier wagon road to the Big Missou. ri property.
 The Big Missouri group of claims consists of 780 acres. a large portion of which is highly mineralized. Up to the present time the development work has been directed large ly toward opening up the high. CT grade ore on three of the claims, the E Pluribus, Laura. and Buena Vista. The results in this area have been very sat isfactory.
 Work is also to begin on the Province Claim, where there is a large ore body on which as yet little development has been done. The possibilities are that there will be opened on this claim a large tonnage of ore that can be mined very cheap ly and profitably.
 The Buena Vista Mining Company, as stated above, con- templates an extensive cam paign of development work covering the whole property, concentrating particularly on those areas where commercial ore bodies have already been established. When the ore on the Province claim has been opened so that it may be mined that together with the tonnag- es now exposed, and which will be opened by the other de- velopment now in progress, will enable the management to determine the size of the mill that will be required to handle the ore from the Big Missouri property. In view of the known ore bodies, and the encouraging development now being carried forward with fi- nancial assurance that it will be completed in the least pos sible time, it is only reasonable to expect that the Big Missouri will soon reach the ore produc- ing stage, and within the time usually required for such a

Buying Power Of

WASHINGTON (PD-In the gener-

products have again reached 80,
practically the high point Of the
last seven years. II Is evident. au-
thorities say, that production is in
excellent balance and that there is

eastern corn belt,p they declare,
'the larger agricultural regions now

"The cotton belt has a crop worth
nearly 5000, 600 1000 more than last

belt, particularly the northern

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is R.-
Maj. Gen. Mason nj. Patrick. chief
OF the army air corps. who for six
years has stood near the center Of
the storm Of controversy in avia-
ton, stepped into a calmer area to-
day when he retired from active
service for age.
The judgement passed upon his
work for those six strenuous years
by his colleagues Of the old army
and the young air corps alike is
that he leaves behind him mutual
understanding and a sense OF team
play between ground and air sol
diers to further the single objec-
tive Of national defense toward
which NIL are striving In a degree
that six years ago seemed impossi-
BILE for realization.
