A silver-cobalt mine.
"On 7 August 1903, while scouting for railway ties, the men [J.H. McKinley and Ernest Darragh] spotted some gleaming, metallic flakes at the southeast end of Long Lake, later renamed Cobalt Lake. The flakes bent easily and dented between their teeth. They sent samples to Montreal for assaying and the results revealed native silver with an amazingly high concentration of 4,000 ounces to the ton. They filed the claim and there grew the McKinley-Darragh mine." [Grice, (1989), page 87]
