The answer is: B.Individuals mined all of the gold, then the silver.

At that time, precious metal such as gold and silver were seen as the commodities that provide largest amount of wealth in shortest period of time. (very similar to owning a website during the dot.com bubble in 1995)

This cause individuals who live in that time period to make heavy efforts to mine all of the gold and silver that available near them.

Answer:

Individuals mined gold near the surface, then large companies took over.

Explanation:

This is the best description of what happened with mining in the West. When gold was discovered in the West, many people believed this to be a quick and easy way to become wealthy. This is what is known as the Gold Rush. Many people moved to the West, but only a few found significant amounts of gold. Moreover, individuals generally only mined gold that was near the surface, while large companies took over larger mining projects.
