Mining: From Dishpan to Ore Breaker Mining took off in California and soon spread throughout the entire United States, showing a prosperous future for America. The Fourty-Niners flocked out to California and Colorado when gold was discovered and started mining instantly. However, in both situations, the gold ran out very quickly.
