The mining industry made a major impact on the future of the Indian Territory. Which of these outcomes is not an example of how mining changed the territory?

Mining encouraged economic growth in the Indian Territory: it supported railroad development, helped mining camps grow into towns with small businesses, and contributed to later oil-industry growth. These opportunities attracted people rather than discouraging them from moving there. Therefore, “Mining discouraged new residents from coming to the Indian Territory” is not an outcome of mining.
