Is there a city income tax in Iron Mountain?
Iron Mountain charges no city income tax -- neither do Kingsford or Norway, and neither does anywhere else in the Upper Peninsula. The nearest one is Grayling, well over a hundred miles away.

The Cornish Pump, Iron Mountain's gentle giant
Iron Mountain's Chapin Mine was one of the wettest mines ever worked -- so they built the largest steam pumping engine in American history to keep it dry. It's still here, all 725 tons of it.
