  • Located on the property extending south of the Cleveland Location at the Lake Angeline north shoreline at the east end.  This was one of three mines that evengually drained Lake Angeline (the others being the Lake Angeline East End Mine and the Lake Superior Hematite mine.  The mine ore was described as "blue ore, in iron content, the richest type found on the range".  In April 1892, new skips were installed with the ability to hold three tons.  In 1892 Lake Angeline was drained fully by the end of the year.  The engine house was torn down in 1960.  [EHMT]
