It could be either one -- depending upon what the miner thought best.
What does your story say?
You are correct! Miners typically stake a claim in order to start mining.
To explain further, staking a claim is the process of legally marking and securing an area of land, typically rich in minerals, for mining purposes. This allows miners to have exclusive rights to explore and extract minerals from the designated area. In order to stake a claim, miners need to follow the legal procedures and regulations set by the government or relevant mining authorities.
While options a, b, and d can be related to mining in some way, they are not the primary steps taken to start mining. Going to a boom town refers to the phenomenon of rapidly growing towns during mining booms, which is related to mining activities but not necessarily the first step. Building flumes is a method used to transport water for mining operations, which is also relevant but not the initial step. Lastly, finding a grubstake refers to obtaining financial resources or supplies from others to begin mining, but it is not the initial action taken by miners.
