Gold-Rush-4K

 Due to the Gold Rush, there are now ghost towns, still left from the gold rush. First, when the gold is all gone, people leave to find other mining sites. Then the towns decay, leaving ghost towns. Because of this"gold fever," there are numerous ghost towns in Colorado. Thanks to the past,here are working stores and restaurants in Cripple Creek and other ghost towns, just because of the yellow stuff we call gold gold. ||<  || Information from __Wild West__ By Scotter, Mike.

 * <  ||< The Colorado Gold Rush. One of the biggest gold findings in history. Started in 1858 by William Russell, people came from all over, including California, the Rocky Mountains, and nearby towns. The first gold found in Dry Creek, CO. Although Colorado's gold deposits rivaled those found in California, people were having less luck actully //finding// the gold. Then, a rush sprouted in Cherry Creek. People rushed from all over, again. Chinese immigrants opened small shops to get in on the profit. Other mining sites were found, and almost as soon as it started, the gold rush ended.
