Text of the page (random words):
e diverted by dams and canals to placer mine active river beds or to deliver water needed to wash dry placers the more advanced techniques of ground sluicing hydraulic mining and dredging may be used typically the heyday of a placer gold rush would last only a few years the free gold supply in stream beds would become depleted somewhat quickly and the initial phase would be followed by prospecting for veins of lode gold that were the original source of the placer gold hard rock mining like placer mining may evolve from low capital investment and simple technology to progressively higher capital and technology the surface outcrop of a gold bearing vein may be oxidized so that the gold occurs as native gold and the ore needs only to be crushed and washed free milling ore the first miners may at first build a simple arrastra to crush their ore later they may build stamp mills to crush ore at greater speed as the miners venture downwards they may find that the deeper part of vein contains gold locked in sulfide or telluride minerals which will require smelting if the ore is still sufficiently rich it may be worth shipping to a distant smelter direct shipping ore lower grade ore may require on site treatment to either recover the gold or to produce a concentrate sufficiently rich for transport to the smelter as the district turns to lower grade ore the mining may change from underground mining to large open pit mining many silver rushes followed upon gold rushes as transportation and infrastructure improve the focus may change progressively from gold to silver to base
