Mining towns suffered poor waging and distribution of resources.Sometimes there was a lack of male population, but propaganda against women not being able to work in the mine prohibited meeting the labour shortfall.Often, because the mining towns tended to be more remote, the cost of goods and services in those towns was excessive.There was a lack of sufficient safety measures. Mine operators would take risks, not ensuring safety standards were high enough.
Mining towns were different than Mormon towns mostly because mining towns were focused on getting rich and mining, and Mormon towns were focused on religion rather than money. Mining towns were more 'rough and tumble' or 'wild west' than Mormon towns, which were more peaceful and civilized and had a lot more women and children. However, in the west, some Mormon towns were also mining towns. Nevertheless, most Mormon towns were farming, ranching, or industrial communities.
It is true that when mining was no longer profitable, and mines stopped producing, the mining towns became ghost towns. The reason was because the people that lived in the town had to leave the area looking for work.
