(35 What's Behind Winnipeg ? 1. Manitoba stands out pre-eminently among the Provinces of Canada as a field for exploitation. Rich in undeveloped fisheries, in mineral areas, especially in agricultural wealth, it extends, not only to the aspiring and intelligent settler the means of useful independence, but to the capital- ist unlimited opportunity for economic gain. 2. Manitoba's area is 251,832 square miles. This is more than double the area of the British Isles and is greater than the area of Germany, of Spain or of France. It exceeds the combined areas of the states of North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota. The water area of the province covers 15,500 square miles and includes one of the largest inland fisheries in the world. 3. Although Manitoba is world-famed as a prairie agricultural Province, over 75% of its area is wooded. There are over 137,000 square miles of forest land in the Province. There is estimated to be 8,400,000,000 cubic feet of pulp and fuel wood in these areas, including over 28,000,- 000 cords of poplar, 20,000,000 cords of jackpine and 18,000,000 of spruce. 4. Manitoba is fast assuming the role of a min- ing Province. Her resources include antimony, cobalt, copper, gold, iron, lead, molybdenum, nickel, platinum and palladian, silver, tin, tungsten, zinc.
