Nice historic image of the Pioneer B Mine in Ely, Minnesota, from the 1940s. The Pioneer Mine was an underground iron mine in Ely, Minnesota, United States, in operation from 1889 to 1967. It is one of only two such mines on the Vermilion Range whose above-ground structures are still standing, the other being the Soudan Mine.
