Stalking has been extensive during the last year and hundreds of claims have been added to the total, while practically not a mineral claim has been allowed to lapse in all the Mayo area since discovery of Keno Hill. The most extensive stalking during the last year has been on the west end of Keno, below the McQuesten slope; on the McQuesten fiat, near the mouth of Faro Gulch; on Sourdough Hill; on Prohibition Hill; on Bunker Hill and on Galena Hill. About 100 claims were staked on the McQuesten slope and about the same on Galena Hill, and it's slopes and scores on the other hills. Assay values ranging from 200 ounces upward were found on many of the outcrops, and on the McQuesten slope assays ran in some samples several times that while on old properties at the head of Silver aBsin assays were secured in grey copper silver ore run ming over 4,000 ounces in silver.
 Notable discoveries in silver in oth- CT parts of Yukon have been stimulat- ed by the Mayo and Keno finds and especially on the Klotassin where Duncan Michie and associates found ore giving assays as high as POO oz., and some exceeding 300, and have staked an extensive group. On Bos- well river and the McClintock new sill yer finds also are reported, while Twelvemile prospectors remain conf dent of proving that producing Yu- kon silver zone.
