ROUTES TO THE GOLD FIELDS:
1. Sail 18,000 miles around South America and up the Pacific Coast - many storms, seasickness, spoiled food
![Page 16: GOLD RUSH](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681309b550346895d968119/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

ROUTES TO THE GOLD FIELDS:
2. Sail to Panama and cross over the isthmus overland and then sail to California - chance of sickness and disease

What made the life of a miner difficult:
![Page 31: GOLD RUSH](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681309b550346895d968119/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Mining was tough - supplies were very expensive, gamblers and thieves were everywhere
![Page 32: GOLD RUSH](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681309b550346895d968119/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

1 Placer miningUsing shallow metal pans, miners mixed water with soil from the riverbed. By gently swirling in circular motion, the lighter soils washed away, leaving the gold.

2 WinnowingChileans, Sonorans from Mexico and Indians gently bounced dry soil on wool scrapes. Wind took the dried sand, leaving the heavier gold.

3 Crushing quartzThis and similar devices of Mexican origin were powered by mule, horse or man. Quartz was crushed between a heavy stone above and tightly fitted stones beneath. The pulverized soil was then processed through traditional mining techniques. Although effective, most Americans considered the process too slow.
![Page 36: GOLD RUSH](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681309b550346895d968119/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
4 The rocker or cradleWith one man to load water and soil and a second to rock it, this gold washing machine could process 200 bucketfuls per day. It is set on sloping ground to allow water to run through it.
Wooden or metal spikes were fastened on the bottom level to catch heavier gold.
![Page 37: GOLD RUSH](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681309b550346895d968119/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
5 The long tomWith a two men, it is capable of handling 400-500 bucketfuls per man per day.
1. Miner shovels dirt into the long tom.2. Another removes large rocks and keeps dirt moving through the trough and across an iron plate with holes in its bottom.3. Sand and gold drops through holes.
![Page 38: GOLD RUSH](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681309b550346895d968119/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
4. Particles of gold lodge in the riffles of a lower box while sand washes away.5. The final separation is done by panning. Wooden flume widens at one end.A downward slope allowed water to run through it continuously.

6 The waterwheelIntroduced by the Chinese, it could be placed in a bypass flume. The water- driven wheel powered various mining operations. It powered the bailers needed to keep the working area dry.
![Page 40: GOLD RUSH](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681309b550346895d968119/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Water and paydirt are lifted into the sluicing flume. Although widely used, this method was not very profitable as gold deposits were more frequently found along river banks and bars than in the main river channel.

Miners would use mercury to help find gold in the streams, the problem was the mercury also poisoned the streams and in some streams it is still not safe to eat the fish
