Question 2

How did the speculators' price land during the gold rush? At what price was the Ophir quoted?

On May 22nd, 1851 the government declared gold discovery where prospectors, clerks, and servants failed to go to work. They rushed to the west to the newly named fields known as "Ophir" after a city in the bile that was rich in gold. Besides, speculators sold the land to settlers at inflated prices by improving these lands and paying lower tax assessments. They bought large tracks of land at reasonable prices and resold at high prices.

At what price was the Ophir quoted?

Ophir during the gold rush offered mining licenses which allowed diggers 3.6 square meters of land on the gold fields. The licenses were priced at one pound each month or eight pounds every year.
