Some of the Europeans were afraid of the Chinese taking over their jobs. The Chinese stayed in teams of their own kind and different groups had different jobs to do such as mining, cooking, getting food, growing vegetables and buying supplies for the whole camp.Chinese worked abanded claims until they couldn't get any more gold out of the claims. The Chinese didn't dig too deep in fear of disturbing the 'Earth God'. The Europeans didn't like the fact that the Chinese were discovering gold in claims that they had found none. = = = =
