Well if you are having any trouble with Gold Rush this should help  you  out.
we have also included the Docs to this game in case you have use for them.

                         -Maligzar


  Now the story.  You start out in Brooklyn.  The first thing you do is  type
"Sell house". After typing this you must immediately go and enter your house.
Once you get in your house you must look at the  photo  album  and  get  the 
pictures  from  it.  Then you must go over to the desk and close it.  Get the
bank statement and look at the bank statement.  You will receive  points  for
this.  After this leave your house, go to the park and get a flower.  Be sure
not to walk on the grass because this will cost you points.  The  proceed  to
the  Guzzebo (close enough) and look in the cracks.  You will then discover a
gold coin.  Be sure to get this item for it is necessary to obtain it to win.
Then  go  back  to your house and wait until you see a man holding some green
money.  Talk to him and he will give you money for your house.  After getting
the  money  go to the post office and ring the bell.  When the mailman  comes
ask for mail. Then get the letter and open it. Read the postmark  and get the
stamp.  Then  read  the  letter.  After  doing  this proceed to the  bank and
withdraw your money. The account number is written on the bank statement.  Go
then  and go to the stagecoach ticket office.  Buy a ticket there.  This will
take you there BY WAGON!!!  (Not by Boat) After you buy the ticket go to  the
graveyard.  Proceed  to  the second grave and look at your parents graves and
drop the flowers there.  Then go to your bosses office.  Go upstairs and look
at  the  clippings.  Then  go  down stairs and quit your job.  Then go to the
livery shop and talk to the man in there.  Be sure not to get kicked  by  the
horse  for  this will cost you your life.  Then show that man your ticket and
get on the wagon. And your on your way to Cali!!!
       -Maligzar


  Ok the stage coach will bring you to a ferry,  and the ferry will take  you
to  New  York from this place you will go to Mississippi Valley.  Here you go
and talk to a group of men and one of these men he will ask for money be sure
to give him all of your money..  He will also send you to get good animals to
pull the wagons.  From here go right and talk to a man who is  sitting  by  a
tree  reading a book he will give you the book(Bible).  From here you go left
then down. Talk to the man there and ask to buy mature oxen.  Then go back to
your  camp and talk to captain again and he will give you another assignment.
The assignment is to find out when to take off or leave.  Go right from  here
then  go up and look at the grass it will give you a report on how the season
Grass is looking.  Once it says it is drying out go talk to your captain  and
you will leave from there.


  Once you are on your way to California you will travel for a while  through
a few states it will give you general info about them. Once you get somewhere
near California you will be stopped at a hill. You will be shown outside your
wagon. You will have to quickly tie the chains. Then you must untie the oxen.
They will go down the hill then return back up. You are now on your way again
and wont be stopped until you hit a desert.  Here you must look in barrel and
drink the water from it.  Then you must look inside the  wagon  and  eat  the
meat.  Be sure to go right from here and catch your men.  You will soon be at
Fort Sutter...

                       -Maniac

  Once you reach Fort Sutter you must enter it. Not the Mule Corral.  Once in
here you must find the supply shop.  You must buy a shovel.  Then you will be
able to dig for the gold. But don't leave sutters for yet...you must first go
to the blacksmith's shop and talk to him. He will ask you a few questions


The Answers are:
Yes
Yes
Last name:
Wilson
First name:
Jerrod
Brothers name:
Jake


  Now the blacksmith will give you a branding iron. This will be needed later
in the game.  From here exit the Fort and goto  the  American  river  to  the
right.  Keep  heading along the river and dig on the land.  This takes a very
long time so don't get discouraged.  You must head  several  screens  to  the
right  in  order to find the gold.  After discovering gold about 40 times you
will hit a sudden dry spell. THis mean that there is no more gold to mine. So
go  back  to  Sutters Fort and buy a Lantern and a Pan.  The pan is just  for
extra points.  Then go to THE MULE SHOP!!!  not THE MULE CORRAL!!  and buy  a
mule.  After buying the mule go to the Blacksmith's shop.  Heat your Iron and
brand the mule.  Then go to the cemetery.  Read all the graves until you find
Marshall Wilson's grave.  Here there will be a separate screen that shows you
his grave. you will be able to type here.  Type Use letter and move it around
until it says Hey stop there. Then follow its directions. From here take your
mule to the corral. Drop him off here. Then you get another mule. Look at its
brand if it looks the same as yours then keep him. This mule will be a trusty
spirited mule.  Take the mule with you to the Town around 23 screens  to  the
right.  Read  your bible Psalm 23.  Go tho Green Pastures hotel and rent room
11. The man will give you a message to give to the man in room 11. Go to room
11 knock on the door and give the message to the man. He will leave the room.
You will enter,  Go to the fireplace and turn the wheel.  Enter the fireplace
you will appear on the  other side in a room.  Go to the window unlock it and
open it.  Go to the table and read the letter.  Get the magnet and the  sting
which  is  on the floor.  The bird will soon fly in and give the photo to the
bird.  He will fly away you will here a slam.  The bird will reappear you get
the  aerogram  and  read  it.  Before  you enter the fireplace again wait for
another slam. Once you here this you will be safe. Leave the room and go back
to Fort Sutter. Once you get 2 East of Fort Sutter you must type follow mule.
He will lead you to Jake's Cabin. Enter Jakes Cabin. Get the matches and move
the rug, then maneuver your way through the bushes and then enter the Jon.


  Enter the hole in the Jon. YES I AM SERIOUS!!. Ok you will then go down and
find  yourself  in  a pile of shit.  Light your Match and light your lantern.
Then head to the left until you come to a door.  Tie the string to the Magnet
and put the magnet in the hole.  Lower magnet. Raise magnet and  unlock door.
Enter the room to the other side. From here go down and then go to your left.
You will have to go down again. Down there you will find a pick. use the pick
a place in the room and you will strike gold..twice.  From here head back  to
the main ladder.  Go up past the ledge that you came from and you will notice
a passage leading to your left.  Go to it and keep on going until you get  to
another  ladder  going  down.  You will then come across another ladder going
down. You must maneuver down this ladder.  Be careful.  Here you must go left
again and you will find Jake.  He will tell you a story and then you must use
your pick in the highlighted area.  You will strike it  several  times.  Keep
digging  until  a  hole  appears.  Dig until it gets even bigger and then you
enter  the  hole  with  your  brother.   Hey  let  the  game  do   the   REST
Congratulations...you have solved Gold Rush.
