A large deposit of gold and silver have been discovered in the Western Territories and more specifically Colorado, Nevada, and California. The town of San Francisco has largely benefited from the findings increasing its population to 15,000 from a meager  200 in 1846 and continues to expand. These deposits of gold and silver were discovered by James W. Marshall on January 24, 1848 in Suter’s HIll in California. This is a great opportunity for the common man of America to make a profit off of a grand opportunity. You can go west and purchase land at a cheap price and then increase your standard of living when you find all of the gold that your heart can dream of. There are gold nuggets just laying on the ground, specks of gold in the streams, and large deposits of gold in the mountains. This is a great opportunity to migrate west and expand the country while being able to make a living off the natural resources there. Thousands of people have already started to migrate over in hopes of finding gold so you better hurry before all the gold vanishes!
