Cyanide and other such harmful chemicals were used. Let's not mention hydraulic mining. That said, the history, the left over relics, and such are interesting to explore. Empire Mine in Nevada City/Placerville is worth visiting

It's a rural coop and according to my last bill, the number is -- 0.14779/KWH. Electricity is still not an option for exploring / driving extended off road trips.

In the 40s-60s, one could get a kit home and build it yourself. They were of decent enough quality where existing structures in the Bay Area are selling for over $1m. Contractors are supposedly licensed and bonded. They may employ others.
