“The Iroquois Mine sits alone on the edge of the wilderness frontier north of Mohawk. After the Second World War, dying companies desperately sought the “mother load” somewhere on the Keweenaw that they hoped would revitalize the industry.

The Iroquois mine, like most of these endeavors, proved fruitless and quickly closed.”
