SPEAKER_00: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Encyclopedia Wamanica.
SPEAKER_00: Today's explorer was a Canadian prospector who joined the gold rush at a time when women weren't even allowed to own land. She was the second woman ever inducted into the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame. Let's talk about Kate Rice. Kate Rice was born to a prominent Canadian family in 1882 and grew up with a love for nature. Kate's father encouraged this passion by reading her stories about famed explorer, Daniel Boone, and by teaching her how to canoe, camp and shoot. Kate's parents also instilled a love of education in their children, and her family, who were the first to come to Canada, and in 1902, Kate began studying math, astronomy, and physics at the University of Toronto. At the time, it was unusual for women to study these subjects but Kate graduated in 1906. Soon after, she began her career as a math teacher but spent her vacations in the wilderness. She would often accompany her brother, Lincoln, on Mount Vernon's trip to Canada. She would also take her family to the University of Toronto to study her brother, Lincoln, on mountaineering excursions. In 1911, they climbed the Canadian Rockies together, a feat that earned Kate a membership in the Canadian Alpine Club. Homesteaders were settling in northern Canada and in 1912, Kate decided to join them. She moved to the PAH in Manitoba but was required to list the claim under her brother's name because Canadian women were not allowed to own property until 1929. The PAH was home to a new gold rush and Kate spent all winter reading geology books and teaching herself how to prospect. She befriended the local Cree and learned their language. The community showed her the ropes of hunting, dog-mushing, and trapping animals. In 1914, Kate got some money from a friend and traveled north with the help of a Cree guide. But the wilderness came with real hazards, especially in the long, cold winter. After several years of prospecting alone, in 1916, Kate joined forces with a retired British Army officer named Dick Woosie. Together, Kate and Dick built a cabin on Wicusco Lake. Their relationship drew suspicions of romance, but Kate maintained that the relationship was strictly professional. Kate was considered very beautiful and had experiences fending off men who were interested in more than business. She never married, but Kate and Dick built a strong partnership in the wild. They trapped animals for food, fished, and prospected across many sites in Manitoba. Eventually, Dick struck gold at Herb Lake and became known as the father of the Herb Lake Gold Rush. Kate found many veins of nickel and copper ore, and in 1928, she formed the Rice Island Nickel Mining Company. It's said that Kate was offered $500,000 for her nickel claims, but turned it down in the hopes that the offer would double. When the buyer walked away, Kate was left to sell her land for just $20,000. During this time, Kate was featured in the news for breaking gender norms. Headlines read, Lure of the out-of-doors led girl to rich claims, and Ontario girl winning out as pioneer and prospector. The articles discussed her shooting prowess and love for traveling to places untouched by man. In 1940, Dick died unexpectedly. Though Kate was greatly affected by his death, she continued to prospect, hunt, and garden on the island they once shared. She wrote for the Toronto Star and published research about meteorological and astronomical observations. In 1962, after years of living alone in the wilderness, Kate began to worry about her mental state. According to legend, she buried her money and checked herself into a psychiatric hospital, where she declared herself insane. Some sources say that after observation, the doctors concluded that Kate was not mentally unstable, but rather just a prospector. Kate spent the last days of her life at a nursing home, and died penniless in 1964. She was buried in Minidosa in an unmarked grave. At a time when she didn't really have full rights under the law, Kate Rice made a living as an accomplished prospector with several discoveries to her name. Kate said, If women could understand the thrills of prospecting, there would be lots of them doing it. She also maintained that no woman need hesitate about entering the mining field because she's a woman. It isn't courage that is needed so much as perseverance.
