When the opportunity presents itself, he writes to two pals, Joe Brooks and his wife, to come out. They do. A few days later Brooks is taken ill, and the next day he dies, at least so the miners supposed. The funeral is held, but instead of a corpse the casket contains nearly all the gold the town bank held. On the journey to the cemetery the "hearse" is overturned on a steep hill and the "casket," opening, reveals the gold. The driver of the wagon, the only one of the party not in on the plot, hurries back for the miners. "Dr." Jamison and his two pals get away with their lives, but are compelled to abandon the gold.
