Read carefully:
box 1 contains a ROCK, this has not been excluded by the original question.
Box 3 Contains the GOLD
On box 1 is written: "This box is empty" FALSE - There is a rock in it
On box 2 is written: "Box 3 contains the gold" TRUE - It does
On box 3 is written: "The other boxes are empty" FALSE - There is a rock in box one
Hence 1 ...[text shortened]... herefore box 3 could contain the gold.
Sorry about the Caps, getting a bit too excited.

- There are 3 boxes
- Only one of them contains gold
- Every box has a message written on it and only one message is true.
- On box 1 is written: "This box is empty"
- On box 2 is written: "Box 3 contains the gold"
- On box 3 is written: "The other boxes are empty"

Which box contains the gold?
So:
If box 1 is empty, box 2 contains the gold.
If box 1 has a rock in it, box 3 contains the gold
If box 1 has an arrow to box 2 on it, box 1 contains the gold.
