Thanks for the suggestions from both of you.  The topo idea is a good one, I think I might try to scour some old survey maps for clues.  I am planning looking for the mine site during a trip this summer.  I will let you know if I find anything.

Mad_mat's topo suggestion is good - but I can't see it on the (fairly current) ones I have.

This story might yield good clues...

Good luck - sounds like a good adventure.

no clue, but a suggestion

most mines are indicated on standard topo maps, if they existed the last time the map was updated -  does not seem to matter if they are old and shut down

Has anyone ever visited the ruins of the Spaulding mine on Spaulding Lake in the BWCA?  Any clues on how to find it?
Thanks.
