Dunn was a mining town consisting of around two-hundred people from china. The chineese would work in the coal mine in Rock Springs for alot less than the white people would. And as the story was told to me in school, The town of Rock Springs got tired of the china men taking all the work, so late on night the people of Rock Springs went to Dunn and set the town ablase. Chasing the china men while beating and shooting them they ran them out. All that remains of Dunn now is the ruined buildings and a burnt up dump, which just happens to be a good place to find some neet old artifacts.
