SI G N 5 INDICATE LARGE PROGRAM ON
 BIG MISSOURI GROUP

Recent activities of the Con- solidated Mining and Smelling Company, combined with sig rificant statements emanating from official sources, indicate almo;l. beyond doubt that the company is preparing ito inaug- urate a new program of large scale development activities at the Big Missouri property, con- trolled through it's subsidiary, the Buena Vista Mining Con1- pany.
 Although in the absence of direct official announcements definite information regarding the contemplations is unavail- able at present, summarization of the numerous evidences in- dicate that the most important feature of the new program will probably be the driving of a new low-level tunnel to ex- plore at greater depth the ex- tensive low-grade gold depos- it's opened on the present 800- foot level. This much of the program appears at present definitely assured.
 Such a low-level entrance to the Big Missouri may be ob- tained either through the Day group, upon which the com- pany recently obtained a 60- day option, or from some other nearby point along the eastern slope of the Salmon River ba- sin, although greater depth can be obtained from the Day property than from any other adjacent point on either side of the Big Missouri group.
 A tunnel from the lowest depth ,obtainable on the latter property would be approxi- mately 5000 feet in length and would be in the neighborhood of 300 feet below the present working level, according to competent estimators.
 Other contemplations of the company apparently include the extension of an approXi- mately 8O0-foot raise from the present working tunnel to the surface and further eXplora- ton of the known ore bodies at higher elevations.
