Four men pose for the camera behind a rocker box and wheelbarrow on Princess between First and Second Ave. One is holding the gold they have extracted from mining out the earth from beneath gold rush era buildings. The gold dust fell between the floor boards in the heyday of Dawson. The Odd Fellows Hall and Ruby's Place can be seen on Second Avenue with the Occidental Hotel in the background on Third Avenue.
