In 1883, there was a discovery of silver, gold and lead in the Coeur d’Alene region. Mining emerged as a major business to Spokane and the city became a popular place for miners. The discovery of gold led a rush of prospectors into the region. The inland empire had many mining rushes from 1883 to the late 19th century. Spokane became home to many companies and managers and other business operations. The city furnished supplies to the miners who passed through.

The city of Spokane was one of Washington State’s largest cities. Permanent Stone and brick buildings were replacing the old wooden structures. A small lodging house and restaurant caught fire on Railroad Avenue in 1889. Firefighters attempted to stop the fire by taking down buildings because there was no water pressure in the city. When the fire did die out, over thirty blocks were burned, wiping out the downtown area and only one person was killed. After the fire, tents were used for selling goods and services. Tents, bedding, clothing and food came by train from cities. The quantity of foods and supplies outnumbered the actual needs of those affected by the fire. The fire changed the way Spokane was rebuilt and buildings were designed with fire in mind.

After mining declined at the turn of the 20th century, logging and agriculture became the primary influences in the Spokane economy. People would be working in the mills along railroads, rivers, and lakes contributed to the economy. Before the construction of railroads, Spokane’s lumber supply was rafted down to Spokane’s mills through the Spokane River.
