Three Chinese dig up a small box buried three feet deep. Townspeople think this might be the gold dust belonging to a miner named Rodgers, murdered 17 years earlier. The Chinese "proceeded directly to a blackened stump on the hillside between the towns of Keswirk and Shasta. There they dug to a depth of 3 feet and carried away in a sack what could plainly be seen from the outlines to be a small box." They all had rifles. Dust supposedly worth $10,000.
