When the Chinese arrived at the goldfields they stayed in large teams with a head man. The groups were allocated jobs like mining, cooking, or growing vegetables. They worked hard and would send home the money that they earned to their families.
The Chinese would collect gold that had been missed. They wouldn't go deep underground because they wouldn't want to disturb the mountain Gods. They would find other jobs that they could work on such as washing clothes,selling cooked or herbal medicines.
