today i want to talk about the CTLgold rush of the 1858,which began when gold was discovered in F town of CF,in the canadian province of BC.by 1861.thousands of men have (flocked) to the region and hoping to struggle (strike) it rich.naturally as the town grew, supplies had be brought in,and  (this was done with mules).now the mules were quiet reliable but there were some drawbacks:for example , a mule carrying a heavy load could travel only 50 miles in a day.meaning that a typical trip in(into) C could take as long as 20 days .so as demand for supplies contined to grow.a group of merchants and (packers) decided to try a new approach.believe it or not ,they shipped in a herd of camels.i know that sound (sounds)strange but  camel trains  had been used quiet effectively during the C gold rush some ten years earlier.but the result in the C region wasn't quiet the same.in fact, it's a disaster, the camels couldn't carry the heavier load that the merchants expected them to .there two told (their two-toed feet) were perfect for the desert travel.but they weren't suit for C regular(rugged)mountain (terrain).to make matters worse,the mules became very edutated(agitated)  when(whenever) they came acrossed a camel  and that coused a lot of accidents on the treasurious(treacherous) mountain travel(trail).the mule packers went so far as to threatened the camel owners with the lost suit(lawsuit).but the reason of the merchants finally got rid of the camels,is beacause these animals simply weren't cut out for the job.
