Schultz I think you're talking to my father all right then Gus yes it's a known fact that you've made a very rich cold strike now you've been a miner long enough to know that it takes a lot of time effort and money to get that gold out of the ground in commercial quantities been thinking about that it's not a job for one man or two or even ten it's a job calling for manpower machinery and know-how well then wasn't figuring on doing it all by myself we're gonna grab you a card here thank you guys I guess I operate a number of mines big ones I can set up an organization to handle your claim bring in man machines drill shafts build a stamping mill but I can process more or in one week you couldn't a whole year cost a passel of money wouldn't know I'm offering you a partnership in Chaston company yeah $5,000 earnest money show you my good faith you ain't giving this to me are you it's an advance against your share of the profits all you have to do is sign a simple agreement mr. Henshaw I'll show you where you'll just sign right here I don't know mr. shares to decide sit back without doing anything else you collect 25% of all the gold we take out of your claim just sitting there Gus you're a wealthy man you like this home oh yeah never been in a home like this before in six months you can have one just like it you won't have to work another day of your life III gotta think about it gosh I'm offering you a fortune there's not another company in the country would make you a deal as good as this but I can't sign no diamond I'll make it $10,000 I gotta go I got some things to take care of just a minute Gus I wish you'd make me a promise she'll give me a chance to meet or better any offer that might come your way oh sure sure mrs. Aston and thanks for the robbing of the liquor and oh that's all right Gus I'm sure we can work out something oh yeah yeah he's dealing with somebody else oh well why did he turn you down it was any plainer it bite you right on the nose he didn't want to turn me down he wanted that money so bad he was drooling but he couldn't make a deal because he doesn't own the claim now it's obvious that the strike is on the Ponderosa well that's the rumor the rumor has become fact now I know what I have to do [Music] yeah just flipping it and getting the fever soon as Gus makes his move that pile in on him like the Jonas promote the conversation don't think emetics uses boys I guess how did your horse that's you were you sure a person yes I did where'd you find it what you got no right to ask a man where he found gold mr. Cartwright think nobody's business where my strikes at oh you're absolutely right Gus of course it isn't any of my business except if it's on the Ponderosa it is my business oh I never said the strike was on your place yeah what Gus you didn't say it wasn't neither yes yes how about you making a little public announcement to the effect that it isn't I ain't making no public announcement about nothing and nobody can make me either start telling folks we're at eight and before all everybody's gonna know right where it's at pretty much did it let's get on home before some of this takes exclaiming out living room [Music] there are many pillows you sure got him coming [Music] like we got company coming [Music] afternoon Gus I stay for right you're a shrewd one Gus I know now I underestimated your ability as a businessman I'm ready to talk now I don't reckon we got anything to talk about mr. Chester I'm gonna sweeten the pot Gus fifteen thousand in cash and a 30% share of all the gold we take out of your mind now that applies no matter where your strike is all you have to do is show it to me and I'll take care of the rest of it there you are fifteen thousand cash I'm sure sorry I just can't do it is that your last word yeah that's it I'm sorry you feel that way about it yes extremely sorry [Music] [Applause] [Music] gentlemen our friend mr. Schultz needs a little persuading [Music] yes any other votes [Music] hey ain't you fellas kind of long way from town you should have told mr. Shasta what he wanted to know Gus been a lot easier on you and like I told you you should have hired a couple of bodyguards because now you're gonna need them [Music] what do you mean he did tell you where his strike is you were sent out there to get information for me now why didn't you well he kind of collapse before he got to that sir should let us handle it our way we could have got your information I'd let you handle it your way the man would be dead by now I never would get the information we did the best we could miss the Shasta and we did like you said we never even touched his face how do we get our money this money is for keeping your mouth shut get out of here well what have you got to say for yourself strangers everywhere and more coming every hour the hotels are full the only two words you hear on the street are golden Ponderosa Ponderosa ponderosas very big man could waste a whole lifetime searching unless he knew just where to look the rainbow chasers know this so they stay in Virginia City waiting for Gus to stake his claim yes sir but when he does stake his claim then the rush will start and the Cartwright's will move in to protect their property you worry too much in a situation like this the man doesn't fight the inevitable he makes it work for him Henshaw if you owned a ranch as lovely as the Ponderosa you saw complete destruction coming wouldn't you be willing to talk terms with a man who could do something about it well wouldn't you yes sir I I certainly would so will Ben Cartwright [Music] well mr. Chester all right come in come in thank you hey you know mr. Henshaw yes yes quite a while since I've been out here yes it is been quite a long ride I might add a very dusty one last time I was here I seem to recall you're pouring me a glass of excellent brandy that did cut the dust from the throat let me refresh your taste thank you just a drop I still think this is the most beautiful ranch house I've ever seen thank you very much okay lots of excitement in town people pouring in from everywhere so I understand I guess the emergence of doing a landslide business wish they did that kind of business every day good luck good health excellent brandy even better than I remember very fine thank you sir thank you it's been a long ride I left the stand all right are you aware that you were sitting on a powder keg what do you get again you're a rancher you deal in cattle lumber and land now gold has been discovered on the Ponderosa I'm just a moment there there has been the report of a gold strike but no proof that it was on the Ponderosa I have reason to believe that it is wherever gold is discovered trouble usually follows well even if it were is a private ranch it's closed to prospecting nobody can however we'll stake a claim on this property it's a commendable attitude a man should protect what's his own but I'm a mining man I've seen this happen before regardless of whether it's a private ranch or whether it's illegal to stake a claim on it people will pour in by the thousands they will trample you right into the dirt you're in serious trouble Cartwright I'm in that kind of trouble I guess I should get the law into this I guess I could fly to the army for troop support depends on how soon they get here and then what numbers besides when they do soldiers are probably desert to hunt gold on their own happened before mr. Chester I believe you have a plan yes to get there first for the most you need me Cartwright I think we should form a partnership for our mutual profit together we make a deal with Gus Schultz you give me the exclusive mineral rights to all the land between sawtooth and little beaver now in return I move in men the most modern equipment I do all the work and we split every dollar of profit evenly well this presupposes of course that the gold was discovered on this ranch what about the thousands of prospectors what about them just a temporary nuisance in the face of a big well-organized operation they won't stay long but they would overrun the place probably just like they did in California and right here when the Comstock Lode was found if the the gold were discovered here mr. Chester how would you go about mining it by the most efficient method would that include the use of hydraulic machinery yes that's the most efficient method isn't it the machinery that you used at the wint worth ranch when you took that over by gold Hill that's right yes that was very efficient that machinery managed to turn a thousand acres a beautiful prime land into a sea of mud boulders and rocks no gentlemen I'm afraid I I don't intend to have let you do that to the Ponderosa oh don't be hasty Cartwright well I've made you what I consider to be a very fair proposition which you could profit tremendously if we work together I'm sure we can even improve on that hmm how would you go about improving the Ponderosa though mr. Shasta won't you turn it into a wasteland no afraid I can't let you do that this is a beautiful ranch it's the only legacy I have for my sons I can see you have closed your minds well I can understand your point of view I need scarcely remind you though that I'm not easily discouraged I for the excellent brandy I give a spot right at you [Music] so she has to leave what did he want well mr. Chester wants to go into the mining business with us as partners right here in the Ponderosa isn't that nice Joe you better go find Gus bring him out here now I wouldn't talk to us before well he has to talk to us now he's no match for a man like Chester he'll find him hard time but bring him here hey guys I guess [Music] well there's nothing we can do boy so why don't you just go on about your business Joe what's this all about Roy old Gus the mule come into town with Gus tripped over and back been beat up pretty bad inside well go on man oh yeah house guess not good chance I can talk to him just for a minute he won't make much sense until tomorrow Joe all he keeps mumbling is that he never meant to make the car trade so much trouble I told him three months ago that his heart wouldn't stand much more and his beating just about did him in a girl go back to the ranch and tell Papa well come in town tomorrow and stay at the hotel let us know as soon as you can tell I will do thanks - oh yes you sure have this town stirred up now and get a $50 graz take Chester mining company will pay the man who locates gas shoots is strike a $5000 finder's fee and in addition in addition we'll give that man 25 percent of all the profits taken from any mining company now in the interest of fair play no one starts the hunt for mr. Shasta gives the word that way everyone has an even chance how's it going Joe two hundred and twelve men so far mr. Shasta we should have three hundred before the days over very good very good I'll be at home yes sir sign up now and get you a $50 grubstake everybody Shasta mining company will pay the man a $5000 finder's fee give that man 25 percent of all profits taken from any mining done there sign up now and get a $50 grubstake Shasta mining company will give that man 25 percent of all profits coming from any operation of that sign up now and get a $50 grubstake ginger leaving sir Chester he's not here mr.

Chester I'd like you to call your men off would you care for some brandy but I'd like it a call you gave me some very fine precious chances I just came from your office with mr. hench I was recruiting prospectors yes I was agreeably surprised Henshaw tells me we'll have over 300 men by nightfall what do you think they're gonna be doing the prospecting Oh change sawtooth and little beaver any fool with half a brain in his head knows that's Ponderosa country now wait a minute Cartwright you can't prove that I don't have to prove what everybody knows it I've been doing a little research here this should interest you he said just tell me to stop recruiting the Prospectus sawtooth and little beaver that's wild rough country up there yes it is now these townships are yours descriptions and deeds are duly recorded right now on a map a boundary is a line drawn on paper but on the ground out there in that tangle of forests and canyons and cliffs where is the boundary right with those will mr. Chester the line runs from the tip of the lake over the mountain Lew I own everything south of that I saw the description say but where exactly is that why I just told your equites always being right there now if that boundary was ever completely surveyed which I doubt it was a long time ago there no fences out there where are the witness trees the corner stones who can say exactly where the Ponderosa ends and the public lands begin I can I take the negative you you may own part of that land Cartwright but not all of it mr. Chancellor let's get one thing straight right now first man sits foot in any part of south of headline I take you to court wait a minute guard right I expect you to mining and litigation go hand in hand that's been the history of it every mine in the Virginia City area has been in litigation ever since the first shuttle of Earth was turned it's always been that way same thing exists today i have an excellent legal staff Cartwright you're going to have to fight this battle on my terms unless of course you want to reconsider the offer you're turned down when I visited your ranch [Music] and you certainly have a right to expect a lot of protect your property providing of course it is your property and from what you tell me there could be some doubt about that wrong I told you chefs is trying to have tied the cantos up in litigation while he plunders it we know that but the point is that the boundary is not marked and running prospectors off of what they believe to be public land could leave to an all-out shoot more well how do I stop him from going on idle while we found bill on the recorders office hello Bessie listen I need a jump down very quickly how long do you think it'll take you to survey the north boundary of the Ponderosa well like an IR a full crew and don't run into bad weather 50 60 days that long not easy well you better do it and start work right now you're hired as of this minute right Ben how do I keep him off the Ponderosa for that length of time the hotel looking for you guess his talk I know it's you know where he went no I was called out on emergency and when I came back he was gone Tom seems to not a know it because I told him I hope I could get his heart so weak he could die if I don't get him back into bed those men don't care about Gus they just want to find out where he states his claim well I want us to try and save his life what if we went back I saw him be out of sawtooth but a little beaver your boys go after him and find him quick I'm gonna stay in town as if I can get the army and on this and talk some sense into those gold hungry buzzards [Music] [Applause] [Music] stand a better chance if we all split up might and again you might know something we don't try to get rid of us and go after that five thousand dollar finders feel for yourself not to mention 25% of the mine now look we've been working together for months and you think I'd do a thing like that we work together for small change this is big money [Music] there's no sign up on the flat please a meadow and little beaver do bad old Gus just didn't come right out and tell you that he found gold on the Ponderosa and I would have saved everybody a lot of trouble I'll tell you what you two split off and I'll take the matter all right if you don't find them you know where we'll be at [Music] [Applause] [Music] John the sheriff Hutton August - Joe some prospecting around here he's got a better idea of where he is and we have some things easier for us [Music] take a look [Music] my song the biggest try [Music] honey gosh all right Gus but I don't care look at me and nothing all my life then couple months ago dark says I'm gonna die real and live like nothing's now I was gonna die like I never thought you were nothing yes that's your heart boy I know that but I wanted more just once before I died I wanted to respect everyone's people to look up think it was a man worse No I made it didn't I little deal he made it and a big man says bye strike everybody talking about all of us buying me drinks why people even start calling me mr. shows so this is where your strike is yes sir you found her this is where she is all right oh that's what's the matter they are stop to feel anything w men help the sheriff get a travel I mean we got to get her the doctor [Applause] figured pike and falen and run them to beat me bad trying to find out where my strike voice and it's here right here behind that rock yeah under canopy biggest joke for once but I was think that mr.
