Abstract
Laborers are urgently needed to support this new mining enterprise in California. Young men from as far away as China look upon this as a golden opportunity and begin to emigrate in large numbers. But when they arrive they face violence at the hands of white laborers and discriminatory practices like the Foreign Miner's Tax. Despite an atmosphere that seems lawless, the level of crime in the mining camps and towns is relatively low. Crimes against property are often given greater attention than crimes against people.
