-HEMLO MINES

Modern gold rush

* By BE BRENDA DALGLISH
Press *

TOA gold mine, says Tansniee Hart quoting one of the best
lines he heard while researching his book’ Golden Giant:
*Hemlo and the Rush for Canada’s Gold, “is a hole in the

ground with a liar standing

at the top.”

~ But Hemlo, as Hart details in-the book, is one of those:
rare exceptions where the hype turned out ‘to be under-

statement.

The amount of gold at Hemlo, 800

got 20. Hemlo is just so massive, there's so much gold per

vertical foot.”

The mines will be producing 23 tonnes,of-gold a year
when they hit full production, the analyst said. “If Hemlo,
were a single mine it would be one of the biggest in total

production in the world.”

CAN'T BE SEEN
Hemlo's gold is invisible, dispersed at a rate of

something like three-tenths of an ounce per tonne of rock.
Hart believes that’s one of the reasons Hemlo, which

“ties right beside the Trans-Canada Highway, was ignored for
so many years. When the price of gold was $35 an ounce, no
one would have considered opening a mine at Hemlo. But

with the price at $500 an ounce and climbing, as it was in

1979 when the two Prospectors laid claim to Hemlo, the

economics changed.

Hart says he wrote the book because of his interest in
gold as the ultimate commodity and because of the ~

surprising lack of public awareness of the magnitude of

Hemlo.

With NBC on the rise because of intelligent. shows
such as The Cosby Show, Cheers, Hill Street Blues and
Miami Vice, ABC's entertainment chief, Lewis Erlicht,
has said NBC's way was the better way and ABC would

TARTIKOFF SAYS his favorite night is Thursday
with Cosby, Family Ties, Cheers, Night Court and Hill
Street Blues.

Three years ago, NBC billed its Thursday lineup of
Fame, Cheers, Taxi and Hill Street as “the best night of
television on television” — yet that best night was not an
audience favorite. Why not?

“The shows were at the wrong stage of their
development to click and there wasn’t the right audience
flow for the night,” said Tartikoff——“Cheers was brand
new and there was nothing hot about it.”

“They got television before
they got electrical power,”
said Woodhead. “It's then
that one realizes television is
humanity’s fastest revolu-
tion.”

Woodhead was first led to
the village while doing re-
search for the series. He re-
ferred to his. findings ‘in a
segment about the global dis-
tribution of Dallas.

“One must wonder about—

the impact of the intoxicating
mix of oil, money and sex on
viewers in mud huts,” says
the series’ narrator.

North American premiere at
the recent. Banff Television
Festival, will be br@adcast
next spring on PBS. TV

gotiating to pick up the show.
“It. grew out of a collective

documentary project ever
undertaken by Granada,
which also produced Bride-
shead Revisited and Jewel in

searchers spent four years
travelling the globe.

“The appalling truth is that
we felt from the outset we
could have just. as easily
made 26 hours rather than 13
hours,” lamented Woodhead.
“But where do you stop with
this kind of thing? In the end
the audience would have
been quite saturated.”

The series begins with a
straightforward_historical
study of the invention of
television and the first broad-
cast, by the BBC, in 1936. +

From there the segments
are thematic- rather than
chronological: “We felt it
would be more interesting to
