Nobody was able to locate Magee. At week's end the painstaking search of the wreckage revealed no sign of him.

It seemed possible that it would contain the last, mortal traces of "Doctor" Magee...
Prospector Austin McVeigh, who had made one of the famed gold strikes at Red Lake, Ont. kept mighty quiet about the discovery he made afterwards. Ranging the muskeg around Lynn Lake in 1941, he caught sight of a likely looking outcropping. The samples he took had traces of nickel and copper. Prospector McVeigh took back his boss, Eldon L.
