When after the first rush to gold mining towns who took over mining operations?

After the initial rush to gold mining towns, larger companies and mining corporations often took over mining operations.

Additionally, as gold became harder to extract, these companies focused on more sustainable and organized mining practices, consolidating operations in regions with significant gold deposits. This shift marked the transition from small-scale prospecting to industrial mining.
