Refers to the nearby London mineral claim, staked in 1903 for Frederick James Proctor of the London & British North America Mining Co. of Vancouver. (file G.1.30 and P.1.51). The property was developed by the Green Lake Mining and Milling Co. in 1909-10, before construction of the PGE railway; a report on the operations of the company and access to the area is contained in the Annual Report of the Minister of Mines for 1910.
