Hewett mine Projected to Become Major Silver Ore Producer
A Spokane and eastern capital syndicate led by CulSiek and OCT Cross drives development at the Hewett mine near town in the Slocan lake district. A new wagon road to Silverton will ease year round ore shipment while 18,000 feet of lumber and a 20 by 69 foot bunkhouse frame ready living and working space for miners. The mine yields rich silver sulphides and gray copper with high ore value. 75 tons shipped this year and 3,000 sacks staged for shipment suggest weekly ore sales once transport is complete.
