I've been talking with geoligists in the WI area and he sent me a message back recently.....
I am quite intrested in any info i can get on this specifically anything denoting locations.
ME: Especially wondering about the one just East of Wausau.
Geoligist: My memory on this may not be totally accurate, but I recall the discovery being too small (low millions of tones) with average gold values of possible interest, but that the small size of the discovery and the high cost of mining eliminated it from much additional consideration. There was reference to an old shaft mine there from a century ago, but I am not aware of any structures or reliable information ... seems to be one for local history buffs.
