Large mining companies
The boom in gold in silver brought miners to wherever said minerals were discovered. When the miners needed supplies merchants came too. They whould build whole towns called mining towns. Mining towns consisted of saloons, dentists, barbers, etc. Once all the minerals ran out the towns slowly went completely bankrupt, becoming ghost towns.
I know some things that were involved in mining towns such as: Diseases like malaria, diarrhea and scurvy. The things below also took place in the mining towns: Saloons Work Money Prostitutes shacks(in where they lived) Minors Gambling Racism. Claim-jumping Why? because as people discovered from the newspapers about there being gold in the west everyone rushed to the west to claim some gold.
Mining towns were developed to mine resources such as gold, iron, coal, etc. They were bascically for making more money, or in some cases, such as the Calif. Gold Rush, they gave an incentive to move to the mining town. How am I sure? I am a teacher that is giving the lesson to her students at this moment. LRMS ALL THE WAAYY :) Go Jaguars !
