BIG MISSOURI
Development work is proceeding on the Big Missouri with unabated vigor, according to reports from the property during the past week. Diamond drilling operations now constitute a large part of the development program. One drill has been in operation for some time and a second rig has been installed by the Lynch company during recent days.
From what can be learned regarding the company's contemplations it appears certain that development work will be continued during the winter on practically the same scale as last winter. A contract has been let to Emil Olson, Herb Anderson and Pete Westman for an extension of the North Star tunnel on the Buena Vista claim, while the company will concentrate its activities largely on the E.-Pluribus Unum claim, said to be one of the richest properties in the Big Missouri Group. A crew of about twenty men will be employed, in addition to the drill crews.
