[#2] After gold was found in California 170 years ago, more than 80,000 people went to the gold to try to make easy money, which was about 16 billion dollars in just the first five crazy years! [#3] Amazingly, the empty land became full and busy. [#6] Because of the gold, many people were trying in vain to sell newspapers. A man showed there was gold in the news. Greedily, many came for a lot of gold. [#4] Stocking shovels was important for stores because of high demand. One store even traveled to the gold to sell equipment. Many people had “gold fever.”
