Tierra del Fuego gold rush : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tierra del Fuego gold rush
Between 1883 and 1906 Tierra del Fuego experienced a gold rush attracting a large number of Chileans, Argentines and Europeans to the archipelago, including a large number of Dalmatians. The gold rush led to the formation of the first towns in the archipelago and fueled economic growth in Punta Arenas. After the goldrush was over most gold diggers left the archipelago, while the remaining settlers engaged in sheep farming and fishing. Indigenous Selknam populations declined sharply during the rush. ==First discoveries== In 1879 an expedition led by Chilean Navy officer Ramón Serrano Montaner discovered gold in some watercourses of western Tierra del Fuego.〔Martinic Beros, Mateo. ''Crónica de las Tierras del Canal Beagle''. 1973. Editorial Francisco de Aguirre S.A. Pp. 55-65〕〔Bascopé Julio, Joaquín. (SENTIDOS COLONIALES I. EL ORO Y LA VIDA SALVAJE EN TIERRA DEL FUEGO, 1880 -1914 ). ''Magallania''〕 However the gold rush was triggered only in 1884. That year the French steamship ''Arctique'' ran aground on the northern coast of Cape Virgenes.〔 An expedition sent for its rescue discovered gold in a place called Zanja a Pique.〔 When news reached Punta Arenas many inhabitants left for Zanja a Pique. From Punta Arenas the news then reached Buenos Aires.〔
