Traffie is whizzing by on Algonquin Blvd, one of the City of Gold's main streets. Sunnys is a big busy restaurant,' and people are coming and going, all the time. Many of them are- mining men. There's talk of siopes and stopes, of drilling, of the latest in minink, eauiiJnent It's hard 1to une aay in 1909, two young men arrived in tie arca. They were a couple of barbers from Hailleybury who decided to take. a fling at prospecting. Benny 1-ollinger and Alex Gillies had $145 betweeni them and thoughit they'd hang around the Porcupîne area until their money ran out. They were advised te stake somne daims net far from where J'ni now sitting. They tossed a coin te see who would take the first dlaim. Benny won the toss and that dlaim becamne the nucleus of the world famous Hollinger Mine that, over a 60-year period, produced more than 20 million ounces of gold, making it te this day, Canada's largest single gold producer. Hollinger, closed 20-odd years ago, had recently what remains of it turned mbt a tourist attraction. It's a mini-mine set up ingeniously s0 visitors can sec the real thing on a small scale.

They pointed eut veins of quartz where gold is hidden, even visible at times. We walked a few hundred yards te where the two miners have their equipment. We watched Elmo using a hamimer drill while Marcel wielded what's called a "jack leg" type as they drilled holes int the rocks. Then a mechanical shovel called a macking machine lifted the eut rocks inte cars. Later they'd lie taken eut fer drying. Ive been down in the real thing) like the eld Mclntyre mine, and the process is first the samne, but on a larger scale. Back up on the surface we were taken over te sec one of the Hollinger Houses, as they were known. There were 333 identical dwellings housing 354 families. The one at the tour mine was the last of them and was saved from demolition. After the tour we wandered around the site looking at old mining equipment. Some of the carts had flower pots in themn which added a whimsical touch te the whole thing.
