NEW TRAM EQUIP
 MENT NOW ON WAY

The Riblet Tramway Com pany of Spokane has started shipping parts of the five-nilt aerial tramway to be install ed by the Premier Gold Min ing Company in the Marmo River section for conveying ore from the Porter-Idaho anC Prosperity groups and actua construction on the tram vii be under way in a short peri, cd.
 It is said that the new system represents a great improve ment over the old Premier tram. Construction is of stee throughout, even the tower being fashioned of that ma terial. Sturdiness of construct. ion is a marked feature of tho equipment which will be com. pelled to withstand exceeding ly heavy strains in lowering the ore from an elevation of 5000 feet to sea level within a distance of about three miles
 It is understood that the tram when completed will represent an outlay of $14O,000.

CONSOLIDATED TO
 CONTINUE ON
 BIG MISSOURI

That the Consolidated Min ing and Smelling Go. will not drop the Big Missouri but will continue development activi- ties under an agreement with the Tacoma interests associat- ed in the Big Missouri Mining Go. whereby the final payment of $100,000, due July 21, will probably be shared by the two companies, is the substance of announcements of semi-official character made in Victoria last week.
 According to Victoria press re- ports the long withheld in formation regarding the Con- 5olidated attitude was obtain ed from a spokesman for J. J. Warren" president of the Consolidated Company, short " after the latter's return from his recent visit to this district in company with leading Con- ;olidated and Big Missouri of- ,icials. MT. Warren is said to have refrained personally from giving out anything on the Big Missouri situation. The spokesman" however is said o have explained that "the Consolidated was going to stay )n the Big Missouri, on which t has already spent more than ;13O,OOO." He also stated n answer to questions that he original Tacoma holders would probably together make ID the $1OO,O00 final payment Dn the Big Missouri property. The property was not going to De dropped in any case, he aid, as the recent visit to the nine "had impressed the of ,icials favorably as to the whole mineralized area of the Upper Salmon beyond the Pre- nier mine."
 Despite the paucity of detail, he announcement provides practically certain assurance hat development on the Big Missouri will be continued un- Ter Consolidated direction.
 Beyond a slight fall in price 'esulting from profit taking immediately after the an- louncement, the market has emained firm, although many eading Vancouver brokers express the view that Big Missouri may shortly join George Copper in quotations. Others look for more moderate prices, probably between one md two dollars.

RUNNING NEW LEVEL
 ON B. C. SILVER

Aside from recent informat- ion that good progress is be- ing made in extending the new 360-foot level, little news is available regarding activi- ties on the B. c. Silver prop erty.
 As practically no official in- formation respecting develop ment is given out here, such news as comes down from the mine, although authentic as far as it goes, is naturally de- void of much interesting de- tail.
 The new level, which ex- tends from the No. 2 shaft, located close to the northwest ern corner of the Simpson claim of the Premier Gold Mining Co.,, is projected to tap extensive ore bodies known to extend from the Premier holdings into the Oakville Fraction of the B. c. Silver group.
 The drift lies 36O feet below the No. 3 level and about 5G feet below the horizon of the No. 3 level of the Premier Go The trend of the drift is west erly.
 Diamond drill boreholes rur from Drift 332 on the B. c. Silver No. 3 level have shown ore values in this area rang ing from a few cents to sligth, ly more than $97 per ton, ac, cording to official reports is sued by the Selukwe company Extensions of the drill holes below the new drift have also shown that the ore area ex tends downward to the vicinity of a proposed fifth level to be run from the No. 2 shafi at a depth of 465 feet below B. c. Silver level No. 3, anc at the same horizon as Pre- mier No. 4 level. Ore values encountered in the latter ares ranged from two feet of ter cent rock to 2 feet running $82.94, with an average O. $17.3O over 24' feet.
 The 360 foot drift is reported to be penetrating a we'll silici fled section showing consider able naturalization and ap, parently carrying commercial values.
 The level is also said to have neen connected with the Pre- mier workings on the Simpson claim.

MARMOT ENGINEER
 SYNDICATE ACTIVE

Underground development work is now in progress on the Engineer Group of the Marmot Engineer Mine Syndi- cate on Marmot River, accord ing to George Bum, original locator of the highly promis- ing property and managing trustee of the syndicate.
 Activities are directed at present to extending the up- per tunnel on the No. 2 vein, generally designated as the upper showing. This vein ranges around four feet in width; 212 feet of which is galena of good milling grade. The remainder of the vein matter is made up of oxides and carbonates, showing evil dences of much teaching but carrying good values in gold, silver and lead. Assays from this portion of the vein have ranged from $14 to $12Oper ton, the highest 50 far obtain ed showing $4 gold, 38 oz. sil- yer and 609o lead. Average values range around $25 per ton.
 4 small crew is employed on the operations at present and will be increased to two shifts in the near future. The new compressor and power plant have been set up, although in- stallation has been greatly re- tarded owing to transportat- ion difficulties earlier in the season and the necessity for overhauling and cleaning the compressor to remove sand which worked into the ma chine while it was being talk en up the mountain. Consid- erable time was also required in constructing the new bunk and cook house, owing to the non-arrival of some of the ma terials ordered, combined with inclement weather. The latter structure is 12 X 28 feet and with an older structure pro- vides accommodations for a crewl of 12 men. Additiona work done on the property recently includes construction of a good trail to the upper showing.
 MT. Bum states that although progress so far has been some what delayed by adverse con- ditions things are now shap- ing up nicely for starting de- velopment on a more extensive scale.
