About This Book

Three young friends answer a call to investigate a remote gold mine and a rumored treasure chest, traveling into rugged mountain country. Their expedition carries them into caves, timbered ridges, and isolated shacks as they search old claims and follow faint leads. They face human plots and a series of natural hazards, including cliffs, landslides, avalanches, and hidden shafts. Strange disappearances and eerie sounds deepen the mystery until an older figure relates crucial background. The tale concludes with daring searches and rescues that lead to the discovery of the long-sought treasure and the settlement of the mine dispute.
