Help with old magazine article?

[Dan Hughes]

A listener to my podcasts sent me this question. Can you help?

"I’m working on a family tree and need help locating a treasure story. I read this story about a relative in about 1970 in a treasure hunting magazine. It may have been published at other times as well. The story was about two prospectors in California or Nevada that found a cavern with a stream full of gold running through it. They dynamited the entrance closed and one (my possible relative) of the prospectors was killed in the explosion. The other prospector recorded a claim and filed an assay in Reno (as best I can remember)."

Dan,
We had it here five years ago. Is this the story?

You hear of so many of these stories; fact, legend, who the heck really knows. At some point, they all seem to blend together as one
