During the spring and the summer, some 500 gold prospectors made their way through Lapland to the Ivalo River. The prospectors traveled hundreds of kilometers by ski, foot, or boat to the gold prospecting area, which was born to the confluence of Ivalo and its tributary Sotajoki.<sup id="cite_ref-partanen1_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-partanen1-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> To regulate the rush, the government established a headquarters for the authorities and service point for the prospectors, called the "Kultala Crown Station." In Kultala the officials issued licenses for prospectors and purchased their gold. There were also law enforcement officers and cartographers, as well as a restaurant and post office.<sup id="cite_ref-museum_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-museum-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At its largest, the number of government officials and gold prospectors was some 600 people.
