I take issue with the assertion that Hemlo was the "biggest richest gold find in the Americas" too. That is on my claims. Glenn Gould on Marathon, the nearest "large" town. "Marathon is a Timber town of some 2600 souls and it clings to the banks of a fjord which indents the coast of Lake Superior. Due to a minor miscalculation of one of the company's engineers as to the probable course of the prevailing winds, the place has been overhung since its inception two decades ago with the pulp and paper stench that serves to proclaim the monolithic nature of the town's economy, even as it discourages any supplemental income from the tourist trade." From the get go, the Shell station was packed eyeball to rock hammer with geologues and their sniveling serviles just about 16 hours a day. White River, a huge metropolis of 800 souls, with a closed paper mill, soon to be a ghost town, claims to be the coldest place in Canada. The Yukon is far colder, with its coldest temperature recorded at 81.04 degrees below zero farenheit. And Iroquois Falls is far colder. It goes to 55 below C regular, (67 below F) and I know loggers from Cochrane who recorded 70 below F several times with bi-metallic thermometers. Mercury won't work, nor will alcohol at that temp. La Sarre Quebec records low temps at least equal to Iroquois Falls. I know I was in a cold snap there which warmed to 50 below centigrade by 12 noon. (58 below zero F) The morning we are not sure of, but it was frosty. Cobalt Ontario went to 60 below F once. Coldest is usually 38 to 40 below F. 40 below F is common in Timmins, for a day or so.
