Why were so many explorers interested in Cibola?
Legends of Cibola suggested great riches, such as one that suggested "the city streets were paved with gold." In actuality, no huge accumulation of gold was made by any Native American tribes. The much smaller amounts that the Spanish found had been mined over hundreds of years with primitive technology.

How many people mined gold in the gold rush?
It depends on what time of the gold rush. In the Early Gold rush, not many people were settled there so there were mounds of gold everywhere and were very easy to spot. Later in the gold rush, the news of gold spread quickly and more and more people migrate to the west to claim their riches. As more people came mining for gold the harder it became to find gold and not much were left tofind. People mostly found little nuggets.

Why did the Australian gold fields end?
The Australian goldfields did not really end; it was just that the gold was harder to get to, so the goldrush ended.The Australian gold rush ended because the alluvial gold, that is, the gold which was able to be reached easily, was mined out. Alluvial gold sat on the surface and was easy for prospectors to find.Once the "easy pickings" ran out, only large companies had the equipment to dig down deep to where the reef gold was. There is still much more gold in Australia, but by early in the twentieth century, most of it could only be reached by heavy industrial mining equipment. This is the primary method of gold extraction in Australia today.
