SIDE-WHEELER
High Chaparral paddle steamer Natchez, you will find at the Wild West Arena located on the square next to the River City Saloon, on the way to Old Mexico.
A paddle steamer is a steamer driven forward using the paddle wheel. The wheel was sitting on the side of the ship or aft depending on whether it would go on the sea or river.
GOLD WASHING
Knock me sideways! Here there are lots of gold. The gleaming grains may be hard to come by, but when you have succeeded once you are stuck. If you also find enough gold, you can trade it in against a High Chaparral dollars.
It was tough to be gold diggers in the Wild West. They often had to defend themselves against both the Indians and wild animals. And if that’s not enough. The miners also needed to be on guard against competitors who gladly stole gold bags, or worse deed to the gold mine.
