The exploratory work opened up two new enriched areas, viz.: vein No. 1, andvein system No. 2. Vein No. 1 was encountered by a cross-cut driven west along theMcKinley-Darragh-Savage boundary line, and has been drifted on at the 225-foot levelfor a distance of 320 feet to the Townsite Extension boundary. At this level it wasentirely in the Keewatin, the conglomerate lying from 15 to 20 feet above. Four raiseswere driven from this level, and each one encountered good ore on reaching the con-glomerate.

The mill treated during 1913 a total of 37,616 tons of ore, with an average silvercontent of 25.4 ozs. per ton. From this tonnage, 1,000.4 tons of concentrates were pro-duced, containing a total of 803,543 ozs. of silver. The mill was run 309 days, at anet cost for operation and maintenance of $54,764.20.
