Like all other districts the easily found surface deposits in the Beaver county area have been mined and it is necessary to apply all the scientific knowledge available and the expenditure of much capital in an effort to find a productive ore body far below the earth's crust. The old Horn Silver located about 20 miles west of Milford is an iiitstanding example of this. Th original Horn Silver was discovered virtually at the grassroots in 1878. During succeeding years poured forth its wealth to the extent of approximately $54,000,000, all of which came from an ore body in a fraction of a claim that continued from the surface down t to the level. At one time the Horn Silver supported a smelter and a community of approximately 2500 persons. following two weeks' illness. No word has been received from her son, who is in Japan, although an emergency furlough had been requested over two weeks ago. Musical numbers at the services were: "How Can I Leave Thee?" by a ladies' double trio; solo, Mrs. Vilda Smith. "There Is No Night There"; violin aolo, "Memories," Mildred Murdock; "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere." by ladies' trio. Speakers were Grant II. Tolton and Joseph A. Manzione. Prayers were offered by LeGrand Gale and R. R. Thomas. Interment was in the Mountain View cemetery, directed by the Southern Utah Funeral Home. The grave was dedicated by C.
