Start
I have a job for you. Do you know James Marshall? He is operating Sutter's mill, a big sawmill not far from here. He told me that he could use a hand. You seem like you might be the right person for that. This Quest is an event in celebration of the start of the Big Gold Rush on the 24th January 1848. You can accept this quest till 29th January.
Finish
I have heard rumors from the sawmill. Is it true that you found shiny material - gold?

Hi. Maya sent you? That's great. I have asked her to get me a good worker for the sawmill. I need a new irrigation system installed. The old one is too small and old as the mill is running well. I will pay you a proper wage.
Finish
What is this??? You found a strange, shiny material in the river while working? I have a hunch what this is... Let me see. You found gold ! This gold is of the finest quality, at least 23 carat. This has to stay our little secret !

Finish
You have collected a lot of newspapers. Still, hundreds of gold-rushers are flooding the area. They are sweeping every inch of the prairie.

Start
All gold nuggets have already been picked up off the ground. Still, there must be something left in the riverbeds.There is a technique called panning. Get a pan and search the near riverbeds before the Forty-Niners have emptied them. A pan is a crafting component of the blacksmith profession. If you are not a blacksmith, have a look on a town market. You should be able to buy one there.
Finish
No gold again... Oh no, I am ruined! Sorry I can't pay you for your services.

Start
All of the workers at my mill have left to seek out gold of their own. They are all rich now and I am penniless. This is a disaster. I will have to close the sawmill down unless someone saws the piles and piles of wood that have been left behind. Tomorrow, the bailiffs will come and take my mill away from me.
Finish
You sawed the wood the workers had abandoned?! Thank you so much Here, you can have the bonds I got for selling the nugget you found. At least the California State Legislature awarded me a two-year pension in 1872, in recognition of my role in an important era.
