Superior Mine #2 HH Traditional Cache

Standard blue-top peanutbutter jar

I've included a parking spot for the cache.  It is by the gate on the road in.  The road goes past the mine and services an active gravel pit.  If the gate is open there could be truck traffic, and the gate could be closed at any time, so to keep clear of the trucks and not risk being locked in, park by gate and walk.  Distance to cache is one mile.

Take the road through the Superior Mine and continue on to the included trailhead.  The road has several large puddles which may need a little bushwacking to circumnavigate.  The easiest way around the first one by the first mine is to use the poorrock piles to the north to go around.

Cache is located at the second shaft of the Superior Mine.  Size of foundation would make this likely to be the hoisthouse.

The Superior Mining Co. organized in 1904. It consisted of two shafts that worked the Baltic lode. The mine closed in 1920, and was purchased by Calumet & Hecla in 1925. No further work was conducted after this time. In sixteen years of operation, the Superior Mine produced approx. 30 million lbs. of refined copper
