How did they mine at the California gold rush?
There were several methods to mine for gold. The easiest way was to look for gold in the rivers. This was done through panning for gold, using a sluce box ( this is a box where dirt is shoveled into and then washed out with water. The gold is heavier than dirt so it would fall away from the dirt) and using a rocker. This is the same idea as the sluce box but it rocks. The next method was to mine for the ore. This required digging a mine and looking for a vein. Finally, hydronic mining. This is literally washing away whole mountainsides with a powerful water hoses. This does a lot of damage to the enviroment and the damage can still be seen today. Gold mining is still done by people because there is still gold.
Why did Gold rush closed?
The gold rush wasn't like a store that closes. Actually, there is still gold and getting it has been expensive in recent years. After California became a state less people came to seek gold and more began businesses or went back home. The towns that were created durning the gold rush still exist and people live there today. Some people still mine or pan for gold.
