 JW> There was only a permanent settlement here after 1934 when gold was
 JW> discovered. Because of the mines, Yellowknife is over half white,
 JW> not Native

 BF> What do you do for a living there today?

I came here on a transfer with a national bank. Now I'm in business for
myself as a real estate agent, leasing agent and property manager.
                                   
 BF> Are the gold mines still in use?

One is. Four others have shut down since the 60's. The big business here
now is government, the newly discovered diamond mines and tourism.

 JW> ... Yellowknife - mosquito supplier to the free world.

 BF> We have a lot of them here as well.

I bet you do; we don't have the monopoly.



Cheers,
