RE:RE:RE:"Denial ain't just a river in Egypt" - Twain Kirkland - not like one of Rhino’s suck it and see mom and pop operations:
The Kirkland Lake camp produced $636,667 worth of gold in 1918 and that rose to a value of $17,000,000 in 1930. As Pain points out, "Kirkland Lake camp came to occupy a position of real importance in the mining world." By 1934 the production had reached $34,000,000 and 2,000,000 tons were being milled annually. Peak employment of 4761 wage earners occurred in 1939, but that dropped to 2064 by 1944. The 1939 population was 24,200.
...
The lake itself was gradually filled in by mill tailings, such that the water had disappeared by 1930. By 1960
, 1500 miles of underground workings were in the Kirkland Lake camp and
12 miles of direct hoisting shafts. The Lake Shore and Wright-Hargreaves mines
had the deepest working depths in the world, at 8,200 feet below the surface.
