Thlis water is made reusable. On ieaving the mine an event occurred which 'broke the ice' and made us all feel like a big happy family. Yours truiy decided it was timne to try out the toilet facilities on the bus, and as the road we were travelling was not as smooth as the main highway, this was an experience in itself. On retur- ning to mny seat my smile turned into laughter with al enjoying the joke; the bus driver com-mented, "It's even more difficuit for a maie". The Northerners are a friend- ly lot. Our m6rning ended with a casual stroli through the well-kept Wiidlife Park, 15 miles south of Kirkland Lake. The park contains a collection of animaIs and birds native to Northern Canada plus a few in ported species: elk, cari- bou, deer, bear, lynx, otter, fox, porcupine, Arctîc horned owls, raven, lion, and mate, buffalo, liama, a Sicilian donkey, horned sheep, one e«ample 0f Scottish Highland cattie and peccary wlÉich are native to the U.S. Af ter 'lunch four more persons joined the tour before leaving Kirkland Lake on the way to nur destination in Quebec, a total of 54 miles. There stili was inuch to see during the afternoon. It was hiard to miake a decision - cimb the mrountain or take the alternative gold mine tour. ANGLICAN Only three of us decided on the Kerr Addison Gold Mine, once the largest gold produc- er in North America. Althou- gh dîscovered in 1905 it was not until 1938 that the first ounces of the precious metal ,Were produced.. Since the inception of milling over 9.6 millioni ounces of gold and 531 thousand ounces of silver, valued at 396 million dollars, bas been produced from 35.0 million tons of ore treated to the end of last year. About 20 pounds of gold is recovered each day, and with gold at over $145 per ounce, this operation requires security measures. The 270 miners employed on shift work und- erground earn $7.43 per hour plus bonus which can, as we were told, reach up to $25 per day. We three women did not envy them after spending several seconds in a dark tunnel. The gold is recovered from the ore by a chemical process called 1"cyani dation". The process consists' essentially of pulverizing the ore to the consistency of flour in order to release thle gold particles and agitating it with a cyanide solution which dis- solves the gold. Expectîng to see gold glimmering here and there it was surprising only to see a murky grey substance floating on the top of the liquid in the tanks. During the tour it was not comforting to see a sign with the words 'Antidote for cyanide poison- ing'. One mis-step and a dive into a hugh tank 0f iiquid including cyanide would be fatal. The question arose as to thec numiber of fatalities during the 41 years of operation. This averaged out to one per year ora total of 41. Being a typicai tourist I had to a sk a bou t ro bberies a s once a week at Brinks truck arrived to pick up the gold for the Mlint. Naturaii thie nman couid not tell us alil thatý might ihave tuken place a,. the gold mine but he did mention the thlef t of ail the vaîuiable ore samples from the showAcase in the enitrance area. The RCMP soon nabbed the cuiprits. This gold mine will be operatinig for only about three more years. No doubt the subject of the economy of the area will be a topic 0f discussion for som-e time.
