Kennecott Flambeau Mine Process Documents – Ladysmith, Wisconsin
The Kennecott Flambeau Mine process documents provide researchers access to the documents that relate to the permit process for the mine. Approximately 25 documents describe the mine and its natural and cultural environments. The documents contain numerous color maps, illustrations and approx. 130 drawings from a series of original blueprints.
All the materials in this collection were made available to the citizens of Wisconsin at the Ladysmith Public Library during the life of the mine. They were donated to the Kurt F. Wendt Library, University of Wisconsin-Madison after the mine closed. Wendt Library holds the print copies.
The 181-acre mining site located about one mile south of Ladysmith, Wisconsin, is bounded on the east by State Highway 27 and on the west by the Flambeau River.
Over the course of the mining operation, about 1.9 million tons of ore containing about 8.9% copper and 0.10 ounces of gold per ton were mined and shipped from the site. The mine produced about 178,000 tons of marketable copper and 328,000 ounces of gold.

Video of Redrock Falls and Trail- Glacier National Park, Montana
Redrock Falls is in the Many Glacier area on the east side of Glacier National Park. The historic Many Glacier Hotel is located on the shore of Swiftcurrent Lake. The trail can be accessed from this point as well as the campground. The trail follows a path through lush meadows, glacial lakes and tumbling waterfalls. The scenery is some of the best anywhere in America. The experience is overwhelming for any outdoor adventurer. Redrock Falls is about half way down the Bullhead Lake Trail. The round trip from the Swiftcurrent Motor Lodge to the falls and back is approximately 4.5 miles. Bears and moose are often encountered so always follow the precautions of the Park Rangers.
