The object of this paper is a study of the geology and the commercial occurrence of gold on the Scotia Gold Property, number two. This study is based in part on field observations which the writer made during the summer 1937 under the auspices of the Canadian Geological Survey, and in part on laboratory investigations which are based on the study of both, the thin sections of rock and the polished opaque sections of the ore. The property or the company described in this report is situated in southeastern Manitoba, in the Rice Lake Mining Area, approximately 150 miles northeast of the city of Winnipeg and within ten miles of the Ontario-Manitoba boundary and in the Long-Lake-Beresford-Lake section. The group of claims comprising this gold prospect is located in Township 22, Range 16. East of the Principal Meridian, as shown in the index map (figure 1). The surrounding formations and including those found on the property are known as the gold-bearing quartz veins of the Beresford-Rice lakes area lying in the basins of the Manigotogan and Wanipigow rivers. This complex belt or sediments and volcanics is Pre-Cambrian in age and varies in width from two to ten miles and about fifty miles long. The rock formations immediately surrounding this greenstone belt are deep seated granite intrusives and in some places, have penetrated the basic complex and are now exposed as large granite bodies. / Master of Science

A regional assessment of the potential impacts of transmission facilities on the area east of Lake Winnipeg was conducted in order to identify alternative transmission corridors with the emphasis on minimizing the adverse effects on outdoor recreation. A regional resource inventory of the Biotic, Socio-cultural, and Recreational Components of the study area was assembled. Impacts of severe, high, moderate and low were defined and applied to the resource inventory. Four possible corridor routes; --A, B, C and D --were identified at the northern extent of the study area, converging to three just south of the fifty-second parallel; one with its associated trunk line along the east shore of Lake Winnipeg, the other with its associated trunk line along the midline of the study area and the third, along the Manitoba-Ontario border veering southeast to a common exit near the Fort Alexander Indian Reserve. Finally, the corridor on the east shore of Lake Winnipeg and the central corridor converge in the Manigotagan area and exit the study area near the Fort Alexander Indian Reserve. / October 2015

This thesis is a study of the development of fish resources of Manitoba during the period of commercial fishing. Staples and dependency paradigms constitute the theoretical background for this study. A political economy approach to resource issues locates this particular hinterland economic activity within the broader economic system. A computer based data set provides a statistical framework to evaluate the performance of the industry. Historical records support a reconstruction of the development of a commercial fishing industry. Ultimately, geographical/environmental and economic questions, such as depletion, incomes and foreign control help to define the changing pattern of resource development. The spatial development of the industry indicates certain structural weakness. Resource management policies do not reflect a desire for conservation as much as the inability of the government to deal with the distorted organization of the industry. Finally, staples and dependency theories provide a new geographical approach to the development problems of the fishing industry. / Cette thèse est une étude sur le développement des ressources poissonnières du Manitoba pendant la période de pêche commerciale. Les paradigmes de les produits de base et de dépendance constituent le fonds théorique de cette étude. C’est en abondant les problèmes de ressources par l’économie politique que nous replacerons cette activité économique particulière d’arrière--pays à l’intérieur d’ un systéme économique plus général. Une serie de données informetiques nous offrire une base statisique servant à évaluer les performances de cette industrie. Un développement de l’industrie de la pêche commerciale est reconstitue à l’aide de faits historiques. Enfin les questions d’environnement et d’économie telles que baisses de production revenus et réglementation étrangère contribuent à definit les modification subies par le système de développement des ressources. Le développement en espace de cette industrie décile quelques faiblesses dans ses structures. Les règles d’exploitation des ressources refletent moins un désir de préservation que l’incapacité du gouvernement à remédier à l’organisation défectueuse de cette industrie. Enfin les théories de produits de base et de dépendance permettent une nouvelle approche des problèmes concernant le développement de l’ industrie de la pêche.

In effect, the purpose of this study is implied by the title it bears, "Geography of Roads West of Lake Wiinnipeg, Inter-Lake Area". The aim, in the chapters following, is to outline in some detail the varied factors bearing influence on the roads of this area, and in due order, to consider the influences exerted by the roads themselves upon the cultural environment.

Most global and regional "greenhouse gas" budgets have neglected beaver ponds, but they have been found to be relatively high emitters of methane (CH$ sb4$) (Roulet et. al., 1992). Static chambers, bubble traps, benthic chambers. piezometers, and water column and sediment profiles were used to determine the dynamics of CH$ sb4$ production, oxidation, storage, and emissions from a northern boreal beaver pond, as part of the Boreal Forest Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) from May 1 to September 15, 1994. Samples were analysed by gas chromatography, and isotopic analyses were performed by mass spectrometry. / The mean flux of CH$ sb4$ from the beaver pond (155 and 320 mg CH$ sb4$ m$ sp{-2}$ d$ sp{-1}$ for vegetated and open water sites, respectively) was greater than the flux from most other northern boreal wetlands (Bubier et. al., 1995). CH$ sb4$ availability was primarily controlled by sediment temperature, and CH$ sb4$ transport was controlled by windspeed (diffusion) and atmospheric pressure (bubbles). Bubbles comprised 20 to 52% of the net annual flux comprising the remainder. A large difference in bubble flux was observed between open water (15.7 g CH$ sb4$ m$ sp{-2}$ yr$ sp{-1}$) and vegetated sites (2.9 g CH$ sb4$ m$ sp{-2}$ yr$ sp{-1}$), and isotopic analyses indicate that this difference is due, in part, to a difference in CH$ sb4$ production pathways between sites. Greater oxidation also reduced the CH$ sb4$ flux from shallow, vegetated sites. / A preliminary CH$ sb4$ budget for the BOREAS northern study area indicates that beaver ponds contribute significantly (6% to 30%) to the regional CH$ sb4$ flux. The areal extent of beaver ponds needs to be determined for inclusion in regional and global CH$ sb4$ budgets.

Musicking is to take part in the creation of music, as defined by musicologist Christopher Small. Whether by performing, listening, producing, or organizing, musicking encompasses all of the activities that surround making music. This shift to addressing the activities of music-making, and not the music itself, is similar to the modern approach to archival appraisal where it is not the records themselves that are appraised, but rather the activities of their creator. By applying Small’s term to making music, a wider lens in which to evaluate the archival value of music records is established. Through that lens this thesis identifies the functions of musicking to be considered when appraising and acquiring archival records, places those functions within the larger Canadian society for context, and examines particular archival collections in Manitoba as a case study to begin developing a strategy in which Manitoba’s musicking records can be preserved for future generations.

A significant change has occurred over the last forty years in the way archaeological and historical studies have perceived the way Aboriginal groups participated in the Western fur trade, from outdated portrayal of subordinate to a more accurate role as equal partner. A diachronic examination of Fort Churchill Trade Shop (IeKn-61) in northern Manitoba will provide a case study through which the Dene contributed to the market economy of the fur trade while maintaining their traditional modes of subsistence based around the migratory caribou herds of the subarctic. Employing world-systems theory, which attempts to relive the old patterns of thinking, would indicate that the Dene would abandon their central socio-economic on the caribou in favour of the new market economy focused on fur-bearers and European trade goods. However, aspects of this theory show the interconnectedness of the system from which follows that a partnership and control could be held by peripheral groups. A comprehensive analysis using historical, ethnographical and archaeological data sets are employed to determine the presence and degree of participation of the Dene at Fort Churchill through the 19th century. This examination using multiple lines of evidence provides an opportunity for a deeper understanding of Dene decision-making processes.
