Best Answer

During the gold rush, people mined for themselves: they were not employed by companies. They earned only what they were able to assay in gold from their own findings. It was not until the alluvial gold began to run out, leading to the end of the goldrush, that companies stepped in and started employing people to mine, using large equipment.
