Show THE INDEPENDENT SILVER SHOWING MUCHPR0GRESS - Edward Bardsley, manager of the Independent, was down from the mine Thursday and reported that the new shaft had obtained a depth of over 25 0 feet, and the progress being made was very satisfactory. He stated the formation now being encountered was highly mineralized, giving place, here and there, to bugs or kidneys of ore, some of which is very good grade and bears close resemblance re-semblance to the formation and character char-acter of the ore encountered on one hundred foot level from which many shipments were made. The Independent Silver mine is situated in Beaver Lake Mining district, dis-trict, 12 miles northwest of Milford, Utah, along what is known as the Wasatch Fissure from which some very high grade ore has been shipped. ship-ped. From this fissure the Independent Independ-ent also shipped a good deal of ore, from the surface down to the one hundred foot level before cross-cutting a short distance to the fissure and from the showing in the shaft at the present time, the company has every reason to believe It will not be long before they are again' steady shippers to the market, and that Beaver Bea-ver county will again be added as a contributor to Utah's metal wealth. |
