Jan 18, 2018 (Therese Pettigrew) - Some development work has been done on a large vein on 13 B mining location. It strikes in from the shore with a course N75W and dips to the north. It is about 12 feet thick, is enclosed in the argillites of the district, and intersects two trap dykes which cut through them. One assay made of some specimens selected as carrying some galena and a little blende gave neither gold nor silver; whilst another sample, broken from an outcrop about half a mile from this point and about on the run of this vein, which carried some galena accompanies by a little pyrite, yielded on assay: gold, none; silver, 0.467 opt (Tanton, 1931).
