Hewett Mine Near Silverton Seeks Wagon Road Tender
A tender call aims to build a wagon road linking the Hewett silver lead mine with Silverton. The project would speed supply delivery and ore transport, with 15 workers now and 30 planned after road completion, expected within about a month on Vancouver Newett mountain flats. The Hewett mine has three tunnels totaling about 1200 feet and has shipped 70 tons of high grade ore this season, with potential profit from large ore dumps once transport improves.
