| Description: | Rolling and dull contrast in imagery Wild scenes as tenderfeet and veteran prospectors dig for 'dust' in a mining boom reminiscent of the days of '49, caused by the government's entrance into the gold market at greatly advanced prices. Minors with pix axes working on top of the mountain. One holds up a piece of rock showing it off to the camera. | |
