What are the effects of the klondike gold rush?

Large numbers of people moved into previously unused and unexplored areas. It forced the development of transportation routes to deal with the large quantities of people and goods that were needed to support the local economy. It greatly solidified the need to organize and create new states in these areas, further laying claim to the lands. This got the Federal government involved in the area. After the gold and silver rushes calmed down, communities developed.
