THE TUMBLER TIMES HAS COMPETITION

At school on Friday the eighteenth
we were approached for a job to work
for the Tumbler Ridge Chronicle.
That is the newspaper that will be
coming out here.

But we turned down their offer for us
to help them with their paper. We
are going to continue with our paper
and that will take all of our spare
time.

The Chronicle's first issue will be
coming out on April 30 and until then
and after then we will still keep on
making our newspaper.

We would like to tnank all those
people who buy the paper and we hope
you will keep on buying it.

AN INTERVIEW WITH MR. R.C. HERMANN
Executive Vice President,

Denison Mines & Quintette Coal

Q : What does the title,Executive
Vice President really mean?

ANS: It means Quintette has a pres-
ident and Mr. Hermann is second-in-
command.

Q : What places and projects have
you worked on?

ANS: The places and projects he has
worked on are Kitimat, working with
aluminium and in New Zealand working
with aluminium. He's worked in the
Tar Sands in Alberta, iron ore in
Australia, and he's worked on several
power plants in the USA and Canada.

Q : Does Denison have any other
projects in mind?

Ans: Yes, the Coalspur in Alberta,

they will be mining thermal coal, the
Belcourt project, and the Saxon project.
There are some other properties in Alber-
ta where they will be mining metallur-
gical coal.

Denison has lots of properties that
aren't coal properties like the potash
one in New Brunswick and uranium in
Australia and gas and oil in Spain and
Greece.

MR. HERMANN, CONT'D

Q : Where did the name Quintette
come from?

ANS: There was a mountain in
the area called Quintette and
it was a major topographical
feature.

Here are the percentages of Quin-
tette owned by the Japanese: 38%
and the percentage owned by Den-
ison Mines: 50% and the percentage
owned by a French company called
Charbonnage de France: 12%.

I asked him if he has ever visited
Japan and France. Yes, he has,
many times and the most interest-
ing thing to him was the people.
He enjoyed the food and their
culture since they have such a
different culture. What he

liked about France was that they
have a very old culture and

their history is so much differ-
ent from ours and he liked their
food.

What Mr. Hermann likes best

about Tumbler Ridge is the newness,
excitement of seeing a town and
project growing and the seenery

is spectacular.

Mr. Hermann's comments are that
he's really pleased that we got
the newspaper started. He's
pleased to see everybody so happy
up here and they have so much
energy and enthusiasm. Another
thing is that you can do what

you want to do like go camping

and fishing and hunting. So that's
what he likes to see - people

happy.

A very important fact he pointed
out is that the whole world is
watching what the Canadians are
doing here to see if we do a
good job and do it on time.

HAPPY EASTER

The staff of The Tumbler Times,
Derrick DeMelt, Derek Stock, and
Mark Stock, wish you a Happy
Kaster.
