Answer:

Because it was affordable to a large number of prospectors.

Explanation:

Placer mining was the most widely used method for mining for gold because it was affordable to a large number of prospectors. Placer mining is a method that uses water to excavate, transport and recover heavy minerals from deposits. It was widely used to find gold during the Gold Rush. The method takes advantage of the fact that gold has a higher density than the lighter siliceous materials with which it is found. This causes gold to sink more rapidly than the other materials.

Women working outside the home during the Roaring Twenties could expect: to make more money than men in the same position to wor
Art [367]
Hello, So  I am assuming this is a multiple choice question..
Your answer would be 

Make less money than there male counter parts, , women were most expected to make less money then men...

Reason being... is that they were looked down upon and many men thought it was shameful that a women made a higher income or got a higher wage than a man.
 Reason why the rest of the choices are wrong...

When some women got pregnant , they could not stay home (some of them depending on the boss) because they needed the money to support there families.
Women never made made more money then men back in the day,it was shameful to the man and the man felt like a failure , so women would get paid less.
Also, not all of the women back in the day (soaring 20's) got hired for a job because of gender discrimination, not to mention that they had kids and families they had to look after, so it was impossible for a lady in the time to work for  longer hours.
