LEE VINING, CA - - This week's first hike took us to Bennettville, site of another failed silver mining venture by the same company (Great Sierra Consolidated Mining Company) as the mining works we saw last week above Gaylor Lakes. This location was more accessible, thus the plaque outlining the venture. The mine went nearly a half-mile into a mountain face. Now, all that's left is the blocked off mine entrance and some rusted machinery.
