But that's because you don't have medicine for even common diseases. :P

Wouldn't that be relevant in a California-mining setting? It is true that you are near settlements so whatever local cures are available are available. But that was a time when nobody could count on efficient medicine. Moreover what counted as state-of-the-art then wouldn't be reaching California in large enough batches to supply the influx of population.
