Show INDEPENDENT SILVER The Independent Silver Mining Co of Beaver Lake Mining district and with main , offices in St. Paul and a branch office in Indianapolis, with O. Holm in charge has started operations oper-ations on its property with E. L. Rardsley in charge. A new working shaft has been started and will be pushed with all possible speed to the 500 level, at which point the working should encounter en-counter the ore body opened up in the workings on the Wasatch Fissure which crops out very strong above the present shaft. The original workings have produced pro-duced a number of car loads of very fine lead-silver ore which fully justifies justi-fies the management in making the appropriation necessary to sink the new vertical shaft in order to more economically handle the output. The power at present is provided by gasoline equipment but the company com-pany contemplates the installation of electricity. The property is traversed for 4 000 feet by ythe Wasatch fissure, fully in the limestone this main fissure is intersected by numerous nortl,'"uth cross fissures with very strong .n-eralization .n-eralization througTiout. A thorough systematic campaign of development has been instituted and it is readily conceded by all who have examined the property, that the Independent wjfll shortly enter the producing list and will be a big mine when the echoes have died away from many of the old time Eeaver County mines with the production of millions.
