Description: Gold dust is found in the sands along the shores of the Yangtze River. These men employ a sifting device to separate the gold dust from the sand on the rocky shoreline. A small junk passes by on the river in the background. It is most likely that he took this photo while he was stationed at Yibin (Suifu).
