Since then, hundreds of gold prospectors poured into the gold city named 朱诺.besides 朱诺,people also found gold in many other places such as the Tre adwell Mine in 1882, the Tanana hills mine in 1902 and the Livengood mine in 1914. The output of gold was also surprising.We can see that the gold output was every high throughout the united states.and because of this ,many people were attracted into Alaska,which brought Alaska a plenty of labor force to discover the abundant resources and to build cities.朱诺，for example ,the capital of Alaska was developed because of the gold rush;and the city is called gold city.
