some lucky miners struck rich in 1858, but most who travelled from far away were disappointed to not find anything
finally i stuck rich! i am so happy!
even after miners struck rich, they would keep mining until the gold rush dried up.
i feel bad for josh and everyone else, they haven't found anything the whole time they've been here
most miners after they stuck rich they would use it to move out of their towns and get themselves a nice house and lots of whiskey
i feel like a king with all my gold! i could buy all of barkerville!
Others would share and be generous with their winnings , but there was very few who were.
Another round for everyone!
When the river dried up most miners moved on out of the town to go find more gold, but most of the miners went home empty handed to their familys .
I am so sad that the gold rush dried up
on September 16, 1868 the town of barkerville burned to the ground and became a ghost town within days, and no one bothered to even try to rebuild it
