what let's play it this one lives in the trees it come out and watch me all the time I was fixing to leave uh who watched you the the spirit and what did the spirit look like oh what was uh it was big and black and agates on a Back Fence could have been 10 foot maybe maybe even more oh it could have been 15 or 20 foot maybe and while oh wildest thing you ever saw louder than a war she was ever it flipped from tree to tree with a man's Anita bush in each hand and a wagon tongue in his mouth 20 feet tall that's what I call a man-sized spirit [Music] [Applause] Ed to be 20 feet tall and covered with long black hair the wild man has said to foot from tree to tree carrying off cattle and picking his teeth with a wagon tongue by all this wonderful whatever inspired this well you said your readers liked a few laughs just so no one questions your sources well I admitted secondhand reporting but my source was pretty reliable that is until we had a couple of drinks under his belt and then he tended to exaggerate [Music] well it's plain enough to see what they were up to you follow High Valley Bridge the Truckee and drop down the West slope a natural route for cutting a road right through our property a road or railroad they intended to sneak in make this survey and sneak out before anybody ever saw them the question is why and for whom come quick become quick too many people people everywhere all over Ponderosa I'm saying you've got a bigger imagination there's people all over the place they come to see the wild man what what why why you're in the Enterprise wild man of Warship now what fool put a thing like that in the paper now there's the name of the man who wrote it Josh Sam take a look at this telegram from San Francisco bugle confirm wild man's story flooded within queries Big City newspaper too uh which one of your fellas is Josh oh that's sort of a pen name I use uh did you uh write this the wild man's story yeah sure I did how'd you like it Mr uh I'm sorry I didn't get your name a Cartwright Adam Cartwright I'm Sam Clemens uh I haven't been in Virginia City very long and I'm afraid you're not going to be around very much longer Mr Clements you see this little uh contribution to literature I've brought 500 people trapping across the Ponderosa this morning as many as that yes they ruined the field of hay and scared the wits out of her to cows we had to rescue four of them out of the duck pond and my people are still trying to round up the rest of them well it was just a bit of Sagebrush humor we we had no idea folks would take it seriously yes well I want a retraction of the Wild Man story to keep these Foods off our land well I'm a I'm afraid that's kind of hard to do Mr card right you see uh I got the story from a very reliable source then you leave me no choice I presume you know how to handle a gun no now hold on Mr uh I haven't got any gun or maybe you're pretty good with your fists huh well sure when I was uh steamboating on the Mississippi the fella didn't like me very much we had quite a fight until I tripped over a rope of course he outweighed me about five pounds uh come to think of it uh I sort of had to mess up these new clothes I just bought couldn't we uh settle this a little more peaceably are you trying to make a fool out of me now I want that retraction tomorrow's newspaper well you're making this a little difficult there you see the Enterprise never apologizes for stories of prince it's a kind of a policy I see well maybe I can help change that policy now you understand about that retraction you'll get your you'll get your retraction Mr Cairo thank you you all right Sam I kind of like those cut rice good [Applause] [Music] you in there at the Bucks Canyon there's no way out [Music]

for your friend my name is Rosemary Lawson my father and I left San Francisco to come to Virginia City by wagon my father was a school teacher but he wanted to look for silver [Music] we didn't have any trouble until we got into the mountains and one night we were camped near the Truckee River it was very beautiful there I'm very happy I sat by the fire and Daddy Sang some old songs to me then I went to bed in the wagon later I was awakened by Pistol shots I looked out and there were strange men in Camp they've killed my father [Music] I think you've you've talked enough for tonight Rosemary perhapsing see that you get some hot food and prepare that room at the end of the bunkhouse [Music] you rest well [Music] remember that Philly Colt we found the upper pasture last spring some skunk of a hundred killed his Mammy yeah I remember she is scared to death too it took us all day long to run it down they did more to her than kill her father [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right who are you and what are you doing here I'm Dr Ephraim Lovejoy I represent sir a group of distinguished scientists scientists Adam was in that wagon [Applause] some kind of Steel hooks grappling hooks I'm going to fish for the body in the lake the body so what are you talking about with the body of the wild man of course didn't you read about it in the territorial Enterprise I expect to get off an immediate report to my scientific group a disabled wild man of washu is dead his body haven't been consigned to the Waters of Lake Tahoe it will now sink to a depth of 200 feet where it will remain motionless encased in a block of ice while the pressure and content reduces it to the stature of a child I thought it was going to print a retraction yeah some retraction you got Adam Shirley gentleman for scientific reasons that article was written by a lion newspaper reporter named Josh I had that buggy back towards Virginia City and fast [Music] and put out the fire [Music] well Adam looks like he got your retraction Josh killed off the wild man in town I think I'll pay this Josh fellow a little visit [Music] and I tell you my friends that never in the history of Virginia City has there been a greater need for a guardian of the rights of the Working Man the miners who are putting the name Virginia City on the map and those rights will be guarded now then gentlemen step up to the bar yes sir there's two ways of winning an election one's by going around making speeches and the others by sitting still and making friends friend here's mud Mirai well I remember you and I remember you Mrs Billings friend see you on Election Day I didn't invite you to sit down thank you anyway you're a very good health man and the election of Jeremy C Billington you didn't come here to buy my vote well he's the best man as me and what I always say let the best man win don't you worry about it my husband always wins you know Mrs Belling there's a funny thing about elections and contests of any kind you never really know how they're going to work out now back a couple of months ago I was in California a place called Calaveras County and the folks there seem to think that they wanted to hold a sort of a a little uh frog jumping contest yeah I heard about it you're the fellow things up all that junk signs himself Josh well I uh wouldn't exactly call it junk man all right what would you call it well I'd call it some uh pretty fancy writing take my word for it it's junk well maybe you're right at that smart fella like you should not have been wasting his time writing or any other kind of silly stuff like that well uh what should I ought to do you see I tried prospecting I couldn't make a dime prospecting that's almost as bad as writing there's a lot better ways of making a pile and going out in the Hills digging for it hey yes I guess there are they take politics there's a big future in politics well there there has been one for the last uh 5 000 years no I mean right here in Nevada like you could go places in Nevada well you see there are a few places I'd rather see first what kind of places you're talking about or London Paris Rome you see uh when you're from Missouri you've got to get out and take a good look at the world understand the your own Hometown the friends you had when you were a child sailing down the Mississippi in a raft and oh you know all kinds of junk like that believe me you won't make a dime doing that either the money's out here in Nevada like uh when you can elect a judge what's wrong with being elected judge oh nothing except the way it's done you may be able to buy some votes for this but uh you won't be able to buy what we print in the Enterprise one way or another my husband's going to be elected judge isn't that it's not about the voters well I'll uh see you on Election Day man oh and just for the record Mrs Billington I may never make a dime riding all that junk but uh here's one vote that's sort of hard to buy and I uh like to pay for my own drinks [Music] Sam I need a filler for page three you know something short and snappy yeah I know give them a few laughs huh what's eating you I don't know Bill I guess I'm getting a little tired of riding Sagebrush humor but you write this kind of stuff so well that's just it it's it's stuff I like humorous writing but I like to say something along with it yeah make the miners laugh that's the important thing it is how about making him think for a change huh about what well the election for instance about the right honorable Jeremy C Billington I don't think anybody in Virginia City knows there's another man running for judge well here's Henry Walker of course he runs against Jeremy every time and always loses people are getting pretty used to electing building the judge aren't they yes I guess by now they are then why is he spending so much money on his campaign this time now that you mention it it is kind of unusual some of those Paris gowns that many Billington wears miners are so busy looking at her low necklines they forget who's paying for them are you afraid the Enterprise won't print any story you happen to dig up you know I had a little bet with myself that you'd go along with Me Sam this is a newspaper not a comic strip you come up with a story in an Enterprise will print it just as long as I sign it just as long as you sign it [Music] let me see [Applause] [Music] let's get out of here [Applause] [Applause] just a creep he ain't hurt bad but I have a good story this time mister I've got nothing to say well you better think of something why take it out on me the man you want us back in Virginia City get his horse [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] ah my dear today with the epitome of feminine pulchritude don't you talk dirty to me Jeremy Billington [Music] I will be long my dear [Music] [Applause] thank you you've done your life what's the meaning of this we'll ask the questions gentlemen I wouldn't like to cite you into my court for threatening you set out we didn't come here to threaten anyone we came here to warn you and you stay away from a slash there'll be no land grab in the Ponderosa next time your man starts shooting at us we won't be bringing them back to you alive [Music] [Applause] [Music] what do you think happened I think railroad stocks took a little drop [Music] thank you it just doesn't make sense pal why would they bypass the main railroad line just in order to cut across the Ponderosa 25 000 Acres of prime Timber and grazing land that's reason enough isn't it well the railroad people could grab that much land just by checkerboarding it right away across our property or by checkerboarding they could seal off every other square mile of land that's right yeah but Paul with any court in the land approve a right away that ain't nothing but a front for a land grab not unless they got to a judge hey you mean judge Billington I don't think it was any coincidence at all that we found the judge in lash's office I wouldn't put it past the old scallywag is anything wrong hey Adam hey take a look at what out of that little boy you found well you sure look pretty you know I don't understand how I made such a big mistake and that Hub sings a pretty good Outfitter oh he bought a lot more than I need I don't know how to thank all of you somebody come here light up on a meal that's all we need another scientific Expedition Rosemary let's find out who this is the newspaper reporter afternoon we uh we printed the retraction about the wild man so we noticed uh would you care to meet him or wouldn't that be a little hard to do after all it was just something I sort of dreamed up well Mr Clements I think you should be given the opportunity of meeting the wild man there she is you mean she's that's right Mr Clements there's your wild man 20 foot tall with a Manzanita bush in each hand a wagon dug in her mouth well I don't know what they're talking about Miss but you're the prettiest wild man I ever did see Mr Clements too what do we owe this visit well for one thing I thought you ought to know there are warrants out for your arrest warrants well I I think we ought to talk about this inside uh Rosemary telehop Singh will have a guest for dinner yeah I'll take him you fine Mr Clemens I Homestead of the Ponderosa fought Indians and drove up Outlaws I'm not going to let lash or anybody else grab my land well if the railroad got illegal right away and checkerboard at the Ponderosa with land Holdings what would you do then fight we've got guns ammunition and Friends you can't fight the law with guns I don't think you have the proper respect for guns Mr Clements but you'd be surprised how many people have oh I got a lot of respect for guns good balance the thing is that sometimes you get right smack dab into a fight that you can't settle with guns or with the fists that's right now if our Hunt is correct everything depends on defeating Billington the election so he won't sell out to the railroad looks to me like we ought to get started then before the election you can't defeat a politician with guns but you might be able to with laughter can we laugh I'm out of town something like that sometimes the pen is mightier than the sword well I don't know Mr Clement I think I'd have to put my money on the sword yeah he's up against that crowd I I think I'd count on my guns oh wait a minute boys Sam if you want to bite this thing out with your pen well that's up to you but we'll be around with our guns to help you if you need us fair enough and I sure would like to know you're going to go about it just keep reading the territory Atlanta Braves thank you that's a personal pronoun runs for office in Virginia City by Josh and Jeremy C Billington friend of the miner the mill worker in the back alley dog spoke at a political rally last night most of the speech was devoted to the nobility of Mr Billington himself an alarming number of sentences began with the pronoun I and which qualifies the judge as a professor on the subject of personal pronouns and during the discourse it was possible for this reporter to discover that the professor is against sin gravy on the vest and overflowing water closets hey those fella Josh gets right to the seat of the trouble don't he I guess a friend Josh knows what he's doing after all Josh claims Professor personal pronoun will provide more free air stronger Zephyrs taller mind mules he's making a fool of you that doesn't mean a thing I'll beat Henry Walker by 3 000 votes filling in I've got too big a hand in this game to take chances no quack newspaper reporter is going to stand between me and the Ponderosa thank you doesn't look too bad well you had enough no bill ings got to be beaten for the good of everyone in Virginia City and I think I might just have the story that'll do it thank you I want to see judge Billington I think the Judge is retired that's all right he's expecting me [Music] [Applause] [Music] I'm from lash's Office it's about time is it in gold [Music] yes it's gold all right we had a collect it from one of the gambling places that's that's why I was late but let me see it let me see it [Applause] [Music] and there she stood nightgown torn right off gold pieces six inches deep around the prettiest bare feet in Virginia City I wish I could have seen that money may be the root of all evil but a lady without a nightgown sure takes the curse off it [Applause] maybe Mr Daniel Ash's Foreman has a case pending in Professor personal pronouns Court but if he has we're sure this was just his tribute to feminine beauty up that reported and stop him from writing more stories well there's one way we can stop him from ever writing another line that might be better all around he won't amount to much as a writer anyway I can make sure that get him out of my way permanently [Music] in this election do not allow yourselves to be tricked by the special interest spearheaded by a libelous newspaper determined to overthrow the will of the Common People if I am elected we will drive these thieves of Liberty out of Virginia City and once more every man will be a king and every woman a queen [Laughter] try anything and people get hurt it's my friends I believe in fair play that's my motto Fair playing what are you charged for at Billington huh hi friends do not believe the lies perpetrated by a man who refuses to sign his own name to his articles but insists my friends my friends listen to me you've known me all your life my friend shut up your friends my eye let's get out of here welcome foreign the political rally aren't you folks taking a big chance coming into town apparently not as much of a chance as Sam Clemens we heard he was beaten up he didn't stop him he's still going strong yeah how long can he keep on taking it you need some help that must have been quite a rally I gotta get the story on the presses Astoria sounds like he's starting to Riot what happened read about it in your exhibition [Music] foreign Josh that's what's wrong what's wrong I know it all along it just wasn't right it'll stop right and come on finish it Sam finish the story thank you you know Joe when I was a boy living on the bench of the Mississippi I used to dream about becoming a river pilot someday I would dream about it some other time story us watch the back door Jack get down you'd have to live on the Mississippi to know what it's really like the way those big old boats come down the river the ladsman standing out there on the bow taking the depth and singing it out to the pilot on the bridge on a summer evening it has The Sound of Music you don't get that stone I finished the only thing you're gonna hear is a funeral March [Applause] I can still hear it mark four [Music] Mark III quarter less three half Twain quarter Twain Mark Twain Joel I've got it

top those nothing more than trash the first thing to do is among ourselves by bringing in effective Law and Order now starting with effective Law and Order we'll have to raise a permanent City fund to interest the kind of men that we want Ben can we expect help from the Ranchers um ranchers want Law and Order in town just as much as everybody else of course we'll do all we can but I don't think that'll be that'll be enough as I realized that as a matter of fact that brings me to uh that brings me to why I was invited here the kind of money you'll need will have to come from the people who mostly make up this town the men who work in the mind they will listen to Julia bulac so gentlemen I'll take care of raising the money and demoralizing I leave to you oh I know you'd love for me to stay but I do have a saloon to run as well as an appointment to keep friends there's a rumor around that we have a very Wicked town here in Virginia City so while the blue noses sit up on the hill and

[Music] [Applause] [Music] is anything wrong no quite the contrary you know you remind me of what I always pictured my mother would look like she was part French like you came from New Orleans and she was a very beautiful woman tell me about New Orleans I'm afraid it wouldn't be as your mother saw it from different sides a mountain never looks the same I don't understand you will goodbye Little Joe go home where you belong [Music] coming back [Music] and now for that little promise huh just relax milane I believe I do like he satisfies you he and Adam figured you boys would be about ready to settle something nah why don't you sell it like gentlemen a horse will hold your coat [Applause] if I told a little Joe once I've told him a thousand times to keep those elbows in Joe's got to learn to fight a lot dirtier than that a couple of beers Tom you know that kid's got lots of grip one of these days he's gonna be able to whip that Frenchman yeah but this wasn't the day Tom hello thank you Tom we'll see you all right huh five hundred dollars I told you I'd work it out but it's not the money Little Joe I was planning to give more than that to the fun anyway it's just that I think you're beginning to make a fool of yourself why what's wrong with her oh nothing nothing she's a fine woman all right what is it then what well it's just that well she's seen much more of the world than you have boy I see that makes her bad wow doc yeah man good to see you come on in now what brings you our way well I just come down to the mines of Gold Hill oh how are things down there ran into a few cases of fever was it bad well it's hard to say if they'll build up to epidemic proportions so far just a few scattered cases here and there oh I'm glad of that you're looking well Ben you're wonderful never felt better good come a long way this house Ponderosa three fine Sons that duck man with all the work you've got to do wouldn't take a long ride just to talk old time sit down have a little refreshment well I'm saying how about a little Cool Waters not good will use all right yes sir Mr carlite glass of cool water for Dr Martin yes sir lie away what's in your mind well for one thing the committee wanted you to know we received a letter of acceptance from Brad Olas oh that's fine all this is one of the best yes I only hope we can keep him no what's to stop us well money for one thing all Miss billet's bottle of brandy got us off to a fine start but can't stop there we've got to have the cooperation of the people I sure hope we get all the cooperation we need Ben you know that most of the people of a community keep in step with the leaders we're just beginning to find some of our leaders you for instance Ben all right all right I'll keep talking well I just don't know any other way to say it people of the town are talking about Little John Miss Beulah matters concerning my sons and myself nobody's business but our own no longer been it boils down to this if Virginia City will keep her house clean she has a chance to become an important part of this country if she doesn't she'll stay just a dirty little town on a mountain I'll talk to Julia talk [Music] Randy Ben I promise you it's the very best I'm sure it is Judy but no thanks and finding out the cartwrights aren't much of a drinking family no that's true but very much a family go on well Julia you know the boy's young he's uh he's full of life but I can understand how he could appeal to you it has with you this is a this is a passing thing it's different for Little Joe different how did he ever tell you about his mother yes he never really knew her she died when he was very young are you the only other woman of French ancestrys ever known that and the fact that you also come from New Orleans but make sure something special in his eyes not in yours no I guess not have you told Little Joe to stay away from me I prefer him to hear from you and just what is it you'd like him to hear from me prince in your ages ways of life not to mention the fact that the whole town is talking about us and what that could do to a young man's reputation yes is that too I'll think about it Ben Julia you're wonderful I knew I could count on you you know this really will be best for you for everybody [Music] Tom um no but I passed a word along and she didn't want to see him anymore I changed my mind but Miss Julia I said I changed my mind [Music] good night until where have you been Virginia City ran into Doc Martin several more cases of fever he's getting real worried oh Joe I've been waiting here to talk to you what about you've been with that woman again her name is Miss pulet ah Joe you're a grown man and I I know you'll understand what I'm going to say to you I know already Paul she's not the kind of woman that people say she is not anymore anyway look I know she she wears behind clothes and she talks good and she lives well but you know the scar doesn't disappear just because you wash it I guess that's how it was with my mother keep your mother out of this I've heard you and Adam talk other places you couldn't go things you couldn't do because because it was part Creole it was a language and the ways of a people that some folks didn't understand nothing more I know that and still there were a lot of people that hated her well sometimes I see a scar you know you got to be looking for it little Joy foreign foreign no more only one piece cake this dang Cake's flat the cookies are not flat but today now whole length is flat no fun nobody eat no good without Little Joe I just talked to Charlie he's been in town seems the kid's having himself quite a Time with Miss Gillette they've been seen just about everywhere you must be enjoying this you know it's doing something for Little Joe defending somebody who feels close to he'll get over it you think so we'll let him find somebody else to defend I'm not gonna have that woman beating me over the head with my own son and we're gonna bring Little Joe back from town if we have to drag him out a step of the way [Music] well he's not in there let's move on he shouldn't be too hard to find come on I said bring it up bad bad you want to be ashamed of yourself you certainly what for for protecting my ball when the whole mob is trying to take him apart won't let that mob was doing to your boys nothing compared to what he did the inside of my Opera House erected take a whole week to put it back together again and it was nothing but uncalled for violence uncalled for what do you call what you did to miss broulette now wait a minute what's all this about perhaps I can explain I have a box Lowe's in this theater Mr romley had it draped so it would be separated from the others a new policy of the management I accepted it but my escort didn't imagine him [Music] and Ben you know what I mean let's go let me know how much the damages will be [Music] are you coming home with us you can make me go home but you can't make me stay there all I want is a chance to decide a few things for myself look at the carriage and why do you have to fight me and the town using a boy as a weapon any weapon I can use against you and win it's quite a victory isn't it Ben Cartwright's son defending the honor of jury villette it's even more of a victory I have the help of his father Ben oh Ben the fever's not an isolated thing any longer it's all over Gold Hill it is an epidemic we'll be in Virginia City by morning chances are it's the water there's plenty of pure water in the Ponderosa Adam Haas get the

advantage of my good nature we're saving two for everyone we're losing an epidemic like this that's a victory um those that are healthy are beginning to leave this town in droves just a dirty little town on a mountain I guess that's all we were meant to be what if to change it means crucifying people like her I say it's not worth it hey Doc I got you three more volunteers oh good oh Pete I thought you and your crew are fully God well maybe it's like Little Joe says doc it's our Mountain we dug right under insides with a little more in our bare hands well it it ain't decent to let some

first that will be claim number one wouldn't it okay just don't remember no there wasn't it I think I got it I think I know I left my tools on claim number two uh I might pick my shovel and and then I got excited you got drunk then wherever we find the tools that's claim number two and that's my dream can you identify the tools really yeah sure right I got the first letters of my name burned in the handles well that's satisfy Annie oh sure sure Adam well I I only want to do what's fair well I'd best be getting back to the restaurant all right all right all right now quiet for a minute that's what we'll do you'll go down to the claim and take a look and if the tools are there that'll be claim number two agreed all right [Music] I sure hope those tools aren't on any claim Spain's a crook if I ever saw one there's some tools over there already I used to pick a shovel when I dug that grave I was afraid of that all right let's get at it tools on empty stomachs give me one minute and I'll get the Mulligan pot going but we didn't come here to eat we came here to see Justice you'll get what's coming to you I wish you would all right Annie bring on the food we're all for you I ain't hungry [Music] thank you you promise you will abide by our decision oh yes I will Adam that that trap door makes me mad strutting around like a [Music] peeked onto Knob Hill he thinks he's a big typhoon Tycoon a typhoon is a big win that's him [Music] [Applause] [Music] just don't understand it I know there was a pick and shovel back there she's stolen I tell you that's what she did she's trying to do me out of what's mine I'll quit whining will you we looked didn't we what's the matter Mr Spain you got that other claim why don't you go on over there and take it I ain't true with you yet Danny O'Toole I'll have what's mine why don't you go spring a trap door dude come on Little Joe goodbye man Annie I don't know what your game is there you go suspecting me and me figuring the only man I could count on were you was you well you wasn't [Music] I've known trapped almost all my life a Cutthroat Thief that's what he is oh I can believe that and that's why I hate to see you antagonize him now look swedes other claim is near here where why don't we get the men and just move the restaurant what about himself there'd be no need to disturb the grave and have him know that trapdoor was tramping all over him oh himself would be turning in for end he'd be that upset or not why do you doubt me you see me claim notice today didn't you didn't it have the right number and did they find the swedes pick an ax and shove no I ask you did they there's such a shortage of wood around here sure there is [Music] all right [Music] looks like Spain's getting himself a crew he's been at it for the last hour I must have talked at 10 or 12 men yeah he sure knows how to pick the tough ones too uh maybe they've decided to work claim number one I doubt it why don't they just trade claims after all one's just about like another and besides Annie has a father buried over there isn't anything sacred around here is concerned it would seem that Mr Kevin himself O'Toole is buried atop the richest strike ever made in the Washington [Music] keeping the news of the big strike quiet is about as easy as hiding an elephant under a walnut shell everyone wanted in on it from the looks of it and he was getting her share of the Bonanza too go ahead with your eating gentlemen you won't disturb us one bit and I'll explain if you think you can run any offer a claim her claim Mr Cartwright sweet will you show me just where you dug your shaft when you made your required improvements improvements improvements I guess I didn't make none I just knocked a hunk of assay Rock off the ledge that's right sweet you didn't make any improvements and according to Miner's law in which you cartwrites put such great stock if the improvements are not made within 10 days the claim is considered abandoned and also according to that same Miner's law it would be perfectly legal for me to shoot any man who tried to jump my claim get to work gentlemen Adam Can't you stop them they're busting up the place sing an experimental hole gentlemen there's only a very small charge of powder but the hats you should stand back [Music] [Music] oh yeah [Music] [Laughter] it's only Fool's luck that someone wasn't killed and unless this thing is settled someone will be he's already settled that's my claim and she's on it and I mean to throw her off quiet quiet all of you all of you now we had some semblance of Law and Order started here let's don't lose it now the way I see it the only way to settle this is to hold a minus Court hear all the evidence everyone in Camp acts as jury I'll give you as evidence trapdoor Gregory is our pickpocket what made good and that's all he is so tool I wouldn't take his word for the time of day Annie will you please be quiet until I think the minus Court's the right thing to do you have no right to think but it's me Adam well as far as I'm concerned young man you are the partner of the dependent and if you say one more word to me before the trial I'll find you for trying to influence the referee laughs Adam we have enough money let's buy us another judge Annie I was only trying to help will you stop trying to help before you landed both of us in jail Mr Spain how about you do you agree to the miners Court range of degrees it's a tool I think you're a snipper mistletool agrees all right I have a half hour to prepare your cases anything I may as well tell you right out I don't think you have any legal right to this claim well Adam I wasn't thinking of legal rights I was just trying to think about human rights you know I'm human same as anybody else of course you are Annie oh I don't mean to complain Adam but all these years I've worked hard dreaming of one thing that someday I'd get to live like a lady Annie why didn't you get married oh I wanted to could nobody ever ask me Adam you won't walk out of me now will you don't you worry I'm not gonna walk out on you because I wouldn't know what to say at the trial your power as good a man as he is terrifies me with his ways I'll speak for you you will you darling you [Music] they're only charged for this hair show well sweet I I just wanted to talk to you yeah sure as soon as you get through lollygagging and kissing around yeah sweet listens just a minute sweet Lundberg don't you get snipper blush with me me sniffer blocked well how about you you and your talk about marriage all the time in the fine person you're going to make a fine gentleman out of me and a sorry task it would be well don't you bother you found a fine gentleman A Real Fine one indeed I did find a fine one well then why don't you marry him that's what you wanted so go ahead see if I care sweet awesome sweet sweetie oh sweet listen I ought to punch you right in the nose things look bad for Annie Adam we've been keeping an eye on Spain he's been buying liquor and probably never drunk in town there's more of those and there are the others looks like you got yourself a paid off jury older brother Court will come to order take off your hats the Gregory Spain your hat my case is simple and I throw myself entirely on the mercy of these honest men and the honorable Judge I make no claims I ask only that the law of Abandonment be upheld the assistant work ain't been done on the claim in question that's all I got to say your hat [Applause] foreign [Music] I need you Miss O'Toole please [Music] as one of the partners of cartwritino tool I'll present our case [Music] now the whole point here seems to be that no assessment work was done well I submit it was may I call a witness your honor thank you a horse Cartwright the house did you or did you not dig an exploration shaft on the disputed claim the very first day Miss O'Toole came to Virginia City yeah yeah I I dug a hole it's a just to answer the question yes sir I dug a hole six foot deep six feet long and three foot wide gentlemen that satisfies the requirements and there's not a thing in mine is law that says you can't bury a body in an exploration shaft and then fill it back up again gentlemen I ask that your rule in favor of Miss Annie O'Toole the assessment work was done yeah all right what's your turn [Applause] it takes one to recognize one I can't fight the whole Camp I know I'm buying my own claim but I'll give you five thousand dollars in cash trapdoor you think I disturb himself from his resting place for money I wouldn't dream of it at least not for that amount they will excuse us [Music] and to think of him sleeping there right on top of a million dollars and not making a move to do anything about it and him who never before had a dime in his jeans any if you'll only sell it to me I'll not disturb himself seven thousand five hundred dollars ten thousand in cash trapdoor you should never have done himself out of his rightful wages I have a hunch you'll never listen to you until the price is twice the amount why don't you go out and get a gun and Rob stage coaches I'll be doing all right without it [Laughter] [Music] hey I'm sick is this what you do in your day off I'm Missy and they teach how to sing make a fairly fine tiny dish Hong Kong Mulligan vampire you'll know how to come let's learn no more oh you're doing fine twenty five thousand dollars I'll speak to himself about it [Music] finally convinced her I no longer wanted to be a partner in the restaurant but I kept getting indications that I was still involved [Music] Adam and Annie getting married Adam and Addie yeah where's that Swede oh he went prospecting Prospect and where I don't know I think he said Africa Africa's thing gone it hasn't gone anywhere but it's about to Adam don't you hurt any feelings it wasn't her feelings I was thinking about hurting you Annie what's this about a wedding How can there be a wedding when I don't even know where the Swede went oh sweet Adam he's still mad at me for what I done said he never wanted to see me again and me loving him all these years selling his claim for him and getting all this money for him too just you wait and see okay honey where did you get all this trapdoor Gregory I sold out to him for this and the best funeral for himself that money can buy there must be twenty thousand dollars here 25 this is the first down payment you see I get five percent of the gross take of the mine for the rest of my natural life oh I tried hard to learn business from you Adam I hope I done good five percent of the gross Anna you've done real good I've done it for Swede oh you did it that I did but it's no more than fair it's what he should have had in the first place oh Adam I was going to move himself unto the other claim the Sweden me was going to get married I was going to build a fine mansion and live like a real lady and now the suite has gone off and left me oh don't you worry Annie I'll take care of everything for all time's sake do you really think you could oh you're a darling man it took a bit of doing but we did it and it was quite a day Kevin himself O'Toole had a funeral but Comstock would remember for a long time that come [Music] and to make it stick in everyone's mind it was the day Virginia City got its first fire engine what really made it such a grand day was the fact that trapdoor Gregory Spain paid for every bit of it would you turn him around so he can see the new saloons then he'll know he's not in a heathen land S no not again Gregory Spain's Lundberg number one became a famous mine but it wasn't one temp as rich as the one on the swedes other claim which turned into one of the most fabulous strikes of the whole Comstock load the Swede [Music] now he hadn't gone to Africa at all it meant roysting every Saloon on the Barbary Coast but we finally found him and even dried him out and after paying their respects to himself and his ever-loving Monument the lucky stiff mine Mr and Mrs Lundberg embarked on a trip to Europe soak up culture and Achieve Annie's dream of really becoming a lady and when they came back Annie and the Swede built themselves a great mansion on the road between Virginia City and Reno and I wouldn't be surprised if that Mansion would still be there a hundred years from today [Music] foreign [Music] thank you what's this for because I love you and because this is my engagement party I remember you promised no talking about mine business tonight promise I promise [Music] foreign [Music] it wasn't too hard to do well I told him if he didn't come to this party I'd refuse to be best man and marry myself I didn't want to take that chance forget about being a superintendent for one night Gil the mind will run all right without you I sent the night shift back to work on the third level you what I told you we couldn't work the third level without new timbering bad you promised no mind talk [Music] s [Music] cave in third level the whole shift is tracked all right everybody stand back give us room my boy where's my boy it's all right Mary I'll find

happened I don't know what Regala said get under your hide if my kid brother was trapped down there I'd think of something wished to say than for Gala said [Music] Adam you don't have to come down with me it's my Timber you're using isn't it all right Bud Let It Go [Music] how do they stand a time after time it's like living on top of a powder cake waiting for that disaster whistle of love it's

you being a little bit melodramatic am I you should have been down there with us that was melodramatic too I've had my share of Mind disasters but you don't have to face those men every day or those women I do it's not my job to manage the men you know good job so Heavens you've got the guts to stand up to them and order them into a mine that isn't safe enough for a rat the old fair is safe as any man on the Comstock that's saying a lot isn't it what were you doing down there I was checking the timbering I've got a man hired to do that I know Philip didasymer I was hoping to talk with him I run the old fear of mine Adam you sell me timber for that man it's worked out very well for both of us suppose we keep it that way [Music] would you like a brandy you must be tired honey come over here sit down close to me a minute I want to talk to you about Gail I'm as fond of girl as you are if I didn't think it'd make you a good husband I'd have fired him instead of promoting him Gil's a superintendent now he doesn't have to go underground anymore Daddy those men are his friends you can't expect him to forget that I had to forget it's a lesson I had to learn stay on your own level that's my job and I have to do it don't you think I have bosses my bosses have no faces No Hearts no souls but they've got a stock certificate if I get soft or sentimental they use it as a club to beat my brains out I've fought a long time to get what I've got and I'll fight to keep it I believe Gil was thinking about preventing another accident not about your stockholders honey believe me it gets pretty lonely up here on this level the higher man stands the father you can see I have to do what I think is best for the most people try to understand that I am trying to unders [Music] oh good morning how'd you get into town so early I ain't come out of bed that's why coffee no thanks good you still think it'd be worthwhile for me to talk to dedesheimer future father-in-law doesn't seem to think so but I still do that's why Holloway likes you you stand up to him we'll pay for this I don't know I have too sleepy to try and figure it out I can't figure out who's going to pay for it on an empty stomach that'll bring me another steak because I talk to you what is it your guys well last night my kid brother was down to mine I should have known he'd be all right when I said things I should all right regardless I understand but I I wouldn't want to lose my job anything like that you know you won't not over this thanks you same old Gail you ain't changed and and listen all this talk about uh shutting down the mind uh safety tests and all that uh don't you do a deal as long as there's a hole in the ground and the boss will go down into it wouldn't want to lose no days paying somebody's afraid of getting a rock on top of the head and Mr Cartwright I don't blame you for poking me in The Whispers the next time don't do it so hard have you seen Philip Didi Simon Dutchman I don't understand that one he's the only man I ever knew who can look a horse trade through you without even seeing it well has he been around that hole since 10 minutes after you left last night either he comes out for air pretty soon or he's going to find nobody here to work this hoist when he rings that Bell will you stay around for a little while take care of this for me Casey get out I feel I've been looking all over for you not now dear Adam and I want to go down below and look around for a minute if it were another woman I could face it but I have a silver mine for a romantic rival hey thank you please be careful if anything happened to you off you go all right love Let It Go [Music] the sound timbering you but it just isn't home [Music] Philip Philip didisheimer it is not usually at all but here in this master such great variants of temperatures it's a constant shrinking and expanding of the Earth itself when I took my pick and losing this hanging wall behind the upright Zone cave this in deliberately you might have been killed man so the important thing is five men very cute last night you secure this an unusual side pressure against these uplines and without Tower braces to prevent side motion oh Philip this is Adam Cartwright Adam Phillip diet and you better take some time off get some rest have something to eat the widows of those men they have no appetite this morning Gail neither have I you mentioned power bracing Mr Cartwright you perhaps bought in construction no well I Supply the timber for the mines my father and I my brothers we have a ranch and what a ranch filler the Ponderosa a thousand square miles of it and when will you see the house Adam designed and built it to last a hundred years oh you must see it yeah yeah there's so many things in your beautiful country that I must see but how can I look at beautiful men are dying given time it's one of the factors there is no problem in engineering that cannot be solved Mr Data Simon gills told me a great deal about you and well I don't mean to be presumptuous but if you'd care to have me go over your stress calculations with you well what I mean is that if you'd like to use me as a sounding board I've kept up with my mathematics it would mean a great deal to me to have someone to talk with someone who understood the engineering problem well I'd be honest Mr Data Simon well then you call me Philip huh so we do not waste time [Music] [Music] come in here with your picks boys foreign are you all right yeah where's Gill he was right behind us can you see him no kill can you hear me oh what do we do now wait just as thousands before us have waited and we think of many things that is the final refuge for men when he's completely alone he can think get out of the way by the way my brother's down there I just heard about him this Lane don't worry I'm Gil's gonna be all right now please don't do that man everything's gonna be all right sorry Mr Cartwright I have orders to let no Outsiders go down well your order's just changed Let It Go Bo wait a minute boys wait a minute hunts it then that boys with his shovels get the loose stuff out what are you thinking about now I was thinking perhaps after today if they will not let the Mind fall on our heads again it's a simple way all we have to do is never again go into a mine so many people make that decision in life so very many Sports you may as well give up they don't answer the signal get back to that wall of rock but we're too late they don't answer anymore give her that show good okay bud okay that's

to tell you is what he means is Gail is dead daddy what that's the word he was looking for dead but it's a dirty word and no one wants to say it not here in this house not on this level the stockhold is my ear s is it word for men who work down in the ground not for people like us we we can't talk about a man who's married under 50 tons of rock but he's the engine's the same Oh Daddy I'll give it a Saturday you come along you too dead hell I have to hire a new superintendent call away if that's the first thing you thought about I feel real sorry for you I guess that should about do it thanks Doug Mr Adidas hammer I told you to get some rest now you're pushing yourself much too far with you rest doctor if there were a plague of which and that somewhere in that little black bag of yours that was appeal you and you could cure it would you rest until you had found that bill well my head is like your little black bag somewhere inside it is a pill of information long forgotten a solution to these Mayan disasters I have to find that peel doctor you better slow down or I won't be responsible every man is responsible to himself doctor does your head feel good enough to use let's get to work now thank you I've been thinking are you an engineer well no but then I'm not in the least interested in what you've been thinking please go now wait a minute this is my home at the moment it is my office and I want no interruptions please so we have why aren't you at work Mr Holloway I refuse to send those men back down you refuse I believe the same as Gill closed down a few days get a chance to make some proper tests and experiments Casey you're fired what I said you're fired sugarless can you handle Casey's job it's Holloway I never did want to see you shut down like I said to you last time I talked to him I can get that shift back to work see that you do another thing I do Mr Holloway I'd order that Dutchman to stay away from the men he waste an awful lot of time I tell him to take care of his own work leave our boys alone you're in charge go tell him he's right upstairs that is the problem Adam and it is increasing every day the veins of silver provider the deeper they go I know and the you bracing that we use in a narrow stop becomes worthless in a 65-foot wide gallery and it's not going into overhead pressure and there's a constant side pressures we'll talk to you Dutchman vertical bracing and cap pieces certainly but it would be standing so thick that a man couldn't get through I'm in charge now we are very busy and even the tower bracing you suggested listen to me when I'm talking to you you're gonna take orders just like the rest of the man how are you going to get 65 foot Timbers down a mine shaft and I want you to stay away from the man hear me they're down there to work not to visit with you and another thing judgment thank you I believe in a little formality not available [Music] [Music] I know you're sorry that's not exactly what I was gonna say man [Music] I hope you mean well and they say that they're sorry it's like my mama was still alive [Music] remember I used to a finger and she'd kiss it tell me the pain was all gone it wasn't really it's just now when I try to remember the pain [Music] all I remember is my mama kiss right away so I smile briefly and lift my head and there never was a kill fatten in my butt no sometimes I forget the pain but you can't ever forget to love never it's gonna always be a guild fitment in your life [Music] I remember I was in love once with a girl how much you love is a man can be I reckon I guess that sounds a little funny come me to it oh no it doesn't hurt I know that my poor Adam little job sorry that just wasn't enough not right then it wasn't what did you do [Music] I talked to God he told me I just gonna have to keep on living [Music] may I have the mission to enter your mind Mr tagalis all right go ahead Adam told me to find you and tell you that that number six had shifted and that the tower braces were 10 degrees out of Plum whatever that means it's main sourced if we now know one more thing that will not work it means also that we must still find that one thing that will work well he told me I'll talk you into getting some rest too well he may have said it but he didn't mean for me to do it but it would be good so good stretch out for a while close my eyes against the Sun and feel the life of the earth beneath me but I would feel only the death horse only to death you feel all right Mr Diva sermon all right that is a relative question no I only know that my head is so full of vertical braces and cross braces and cut pieces and stalls and Timbers that my brain is like a beast form of unrelated facts passing and churning and working within a hive a honeycomb a honeycomb sir I have it as I have it it's what go get me some one-inch boards soft pile that I can cut with a jackknife go go bring them to my room I go get Adam [Music] why did I not see this Adam each surface bearing on the other the ratio of strength of each side of a honeycomb to the combined weight of the honey gently now gently come thank you no I wasn't a blaze a solution Mr Holloway the solution to every caving and slippage problem in the Comstock mines course please clean place on the table [Applause] thank you Miss Lee look here what Mr dedes hammer and Adam built show them how it works Miss Divas hammer do you mean that's a system of Mind bracing it's the most perfect system I've ever seen in my whole life are you such an expert no but Mr datashimer is Philip why don't you explain the principle you see Mr I get to see the principle the square open-sided Tower bracing box bearing equal pressure from all angles and I suppose as the stop is dug wider you propose to add another box you can add them above too and you can build a floor in it very interesting gentleman and very expensive we can't use it dad aren't you even going to consider it but look at it honey it's a child's toy a play thing I mean practical Dreamer [Music] thank you [Music] you didn't even give them a chance a chance to what play with toys well I've got a mind to run you think I'm gonna rip out the timbering I've gotten that man to try some crazy new idea the timbering system you have is no good we've been operating successfully with it for a long time now can't you understand I've got stockholders to think about oh yes I understand you and your faceless stockholders well I have somebody to think about too only he had a face and a body and arms to hold me with and he's buried under 50 tons of rock and you'll blame them wait a minute where are you going where are the rest of the mine widows go if you don't listen to me I'm through listening to you father and don't forget to send me my box of groceries all right we've been looking for you all right I've been looking for myself Adam there's new models coming along great I have created a good thing but that is all it is a thing a handful of smoke what good is it to write a book if nobody reads it or to compose a song If nobody ever sings it or to invent a new way of timbering a mine if it is not used don't you worry it'll be used all right but when when when another hundred men have died needlessly well it's such a radical departure from anything we've done before just take time to sell it to anyone Only The Dead have time to wait Adam and we are concerned with the living well your fear isn't the only Mind Of The Comstock as the Yellow Jacket golden Curry and the Mexican we know the honors we sold Timber to all of them all we have to do is sell one of them the idea look I am not a fishmonger Adam Hawking a product on the streets well then you let me worry about that end of it you just finished this new model looks pretty elaborate that's quite simple really series of cribs each surface bearing on the other now that takes care of your side motion which has been one of your big problems now also you see with the wide bands that you're starting to hit you can Timber as you stop in merely by adding another crib now the same hole is true with working up above or down below which is an impossibility with your present timbering now here you could have an or shoot a running diagonally right up here through the sets any idea of the cost well it really hasn't gone into it I think Mr Adidas Heimer was more concerned with safety rather than cost yeah I heard that he was pretty much of a dreamer well thanks for showing it to us Adam hey did you even gonna let him finish telling you about it all I've seen enough to recognize the fact that the cost would be prohibited I'm afraid you'll have to figure out some other way of selling Timber Adam you mean to tell me you think that's all Adam and Mr dessimer been doing day and night is figuring out another way to sell Timber stay out of that horse I won't stay out of it I don't like what this Woodpecker's saying to you oh really now we don't have to pretend with each other we're in the mining business to make money and you should be able to understand that no Cartwright ever made a move unless there was a dollar in it for him someplace Mister you're the biggest flannel mouth liar in The Comstock do you know who I am I sure do and you do too because I just got through telling you my brother isn't the world's finest Diplomat but he's managed to express my own feelings pretty accurately wow it might work sure but the system we're using now can be put in for one tenth the cost why did Holloway ever hire that Dutchman in the first place all out on Cell Holloway short he hires the safety engineer in the Crusaders leave him alone I know but now he's come up with this fantastic you don't find Holloway using it do you well anybody else we can talk through that uh that's about all of them besides I'm tired of talking you ain't going to give up on you I said I'm tired of talking what are we going to do what do the card rights always do when it comes right down to it we'll do it ourselves I mean we're going to make a big one of these things and stick it down a little Holloway's mind without even telling them about it well I tell him he'll know it's there when he sees it tomorrow I said tomorrow Adam I heard you and Mr David Simon talking and them Timbers are big they got to be milled and cut how are you going to do all that by tomorrow well now we're on a sawmill don't we we'll just give this job to our younger brother and tell them it's impossible to do yeah that ought to do it we'll get started first thing in the morning that's what all Adam said and we will do you wait and see when my Paul and Adam and my younger brother Little Joe put their head to something it gets done you're very proud of your family aren't your horse yes sir I sure will all right it's a fine thing to have a strong family yes sir Paul's always kept us Mighty close together you see we just half Brothers yes sir my Paul's had a terrible lot of tragedy in his life tragedy yeah but this has made of him a finer man and it's helped to allow you all closer together it's a family no yes sir a regular ass the girl Elaine we must try to make her see this boss right now she sees only her own loss but nothing is lost ever and nothing is ever destroyed the miners who were killed because of improper timbering in these mines they have found a new method of timbering horse I did not do it they did I am only to instruments that carried out the plan no more than that Studio summer [Music] folks going to remember you for an awful long time miscellane sit down moves all the way please [Music] what's the matter I've been walking around looking into the faces of women who've lost their husbands in the minds I've been searching their eyes wondering if they know my father is a murderer well you should not talk like that not about your own poor no maybe he ain't done all he could do but at least he's tried he hired Mr Dieter Simon but he hasn't let him do anything and he won't well it don't really make no difference if you don't because we're going to do it anyhow what do you mean Paul Adam and little Joe were up there in the Hills right now at The Sawmill middle in the timber we're going to put down that mine so Mr did assignment here can make the test he wants to make well I I reckon Adam sort of forgot to tell him oh do you really think that my father and the other mine owners would let you do this man we ain't going to charge him for it besides how are they going to stop us stop you Haas don't you understand they can hire 50 men with clubs to stop you if they want to what they want to do a thing like that for I'm afraid this does go much further than a test installation horse once it's in there and the men see it they won't be satisfied with any other system of timbering to do this summer do you want that Timber down there in that mine yeah very much yours but we're going to put it down there for you and if any of them fellas try to stop us I think that'll be my business [Music] [Music] I really think they'd do it I reckon you must know him better than I do [Music] I don't see my father with him [Music] foreign there's a rumor around that you plan to do some special timbering in Mr Holloway's mind well this is one time that a rumor is correct you cartwrights don't own this mine you've got no business here well you don't own this mine either Mister why don't you let Mr Holloway tell me we haven't been able to find Mr Holloway but his interests are ours and we're here to see that they're protected check him out there [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right quickness up I'm still inside here Andrew we couldn't find you we came here to protect your interests I can take care of my own interest and that's just what I've been doing but they were planning to build some of those monkey cages down in your mind I'm aware what they're planning to do I'm helping them to do it why Andrew have you lost your senses no I haven't lost my senses I've just found them how long since any of you have been down in one of your minds well maybe you should gentlemen I just did and I don't like what I saw I don't know if Mr Adidas heimer's system of Tim ring will work or not but he's going to get a chance to try it [Music] [Applause] Adam one of the boys one load that Lumber right where you want it if you need me you will just holler [Music] all right this is fine you go now thank you satisfied Philip I could still have an impractical Man stream I don't invention is never completed until it is put to the test of serving the purpose for which it was designed are you away from me up above huh I would like to stay here and look at this weather oh no you don't what's the matter I found your bag for the powder you didn't do a good job of hiding it it's too dangerous Adam I'm game if you are I don't want any more men killed neither do I but I would like to be with you sort of a promise I made a gill I like you we'll see this thing do it together this is good now for the final test foreign from now on not in my mind you won't this is it good luck Phillip [Music] Mr holiday you should not be here it's still my man and he's a gentlemen a little hard to convince you don't understand we're making a test don't test it too hard or your monkey cage will fall down on your head I hope not gentlemen I believe not but we will soon know we've set a blast to test it I can imagine you are being down here with a blast about to go off your Workman do it every day don't they oh yes but with your present system of timbering but you're standing at the summer Vietnam gentlemen you may stay here you'll feel safer I prefer to stay over here are you fool we'll all be killed why is the old temperinger is riding behind you go ahead stay under it in a hurry foreign [Music] [Music] very impressive but I still won't hold still for it and why not isn't it pretty obvious this man undoubtedly has a patent on his timbering system and plans to Rob Us blind collecting royalties I'm afraid I am not so wise as you I do not know that dollar and Sanford have a human life I only know it is very dear I have no patent no desire to charge royalty if my invention saves human lives she only that is payment enough for any money wait a minute ladies and gentlemen we've just made a practical test of the new Adidas Heimer system of timbering any of these gentlemen here can attest to the fact that it was a complete success I'm closing the old fear till it's completely re-tempered with the ditus hammer Square sets every man will be paid his regular wages while the work goes on here's the man who's put an end to all the mine cave-ins on The Comstock Mr Philip dedesheimer every minor will have to put in square sets now you watch this whole town will be sitting on one big honeycomb [Music] listen I'm hungry did you starve on the Conte horse right now I feel I feel very full that's to do the samurai I told you once that folks is going to remember you for a awful long time and they would too if they could remember your name but it's sodang blasted hard to pronounce I don't worry about that horse names are never very important anyway it's easier to pronounce the Dutchman come on let's get some supper [Music] [Applause] [Music]
