3. When the Chinese arrived at the goldfields, they stayed together in large teams with a head man in charge. Groups were given duties such as mining, cooking, or growing vegetables for the team. They worked hard and lived simply, mainly as they sent money home to feed their families and repay their fare. Much of the alluvial gold was running out so the Chinese miners re-worked claims that had been unmanaged by other miners. This meant they went to collect the gold that had been missed. They preferred not to go deep underground for fear of offending the mountain gods. They also saw other chances to make money, and worked at other jobs around the diggings, such as washing clothes, selling vegetables they'd grown, selling cooked food or herbal medicines and so on. The diggers on the goldfields were really racist towards the Chinese because of how they looked and how they mined. They wore pigtails, tunic style clothing, and walked barefoot. They had different religion, and different tools and methods to find gold. They carried all their equipment on long bamboo sticks.
