Just to update; they were able to carry the 80 rod portage into Hegman and had a great day trip in to see the pictographs.  The next day they tried the portage into Little Indian Souix, but couldn't make it down the steep enbankment to the creek, so they had to settle for shore lunch creekside.

There was a story about them in the Ely Echo, front page news July 2, 2011; “From iron ore to gold, Jack Everett, 90, is still prospecting.”
