Gold rushes tend to bring large numbers of people into previously sparsely populated areas in a rapid manner. Towns would grow quickly almost overnight, and there would be a high demand for housing, food, supplies, and improved transportation. This would cause a lot of secondary industry and commerce, so even people who were not directly involved in the mining would have opportunities to make a fortune in other ways.
A side product of so many people and so much money moving quickly into a small place is generally a crime wave.
