wonder this horse was limping so well getting picked up yeah i speak up sharp rock no no they no charge looks like you've been through plenty of water oh yeah i tried a shortcut about 12 miles back down there and got stuck had come right down through the middle of the crate and that's where he went lame well good luck to you hey jake i just picked this up post office i bet i know who it's from i was right it's from betty well i was right it's from betty betty yeah my granddaughter didn't you know i had granddaughter i certainly did not yes siree i'm her only living relative i've been sending

that came out of the horse's hook it's gold see there's a stringer in there bigger than a 10-penny nail we only knew where it came from i do know that prospector said he was forced down the middle of a creek 12 miles out well there's only one quick out there terry and it'll be a cinch to backtracking well we're on our way right now and if we find anything i know a dog that's gonna have a porterhouse steak and a home for life you said it [Applause] right there's where he left the creek [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] wait a minute look at that hey that's the real stuff son according to this stand the creek's full of color [Music] hello hello benson what can i do for you first place you fellas buy gold certainly that's part of our business weigh this up let's see what we got see that's the pure stuff as good as i've ever seen i've made a great strike somewhere let's see sixteen dollars an ounce that'll come to 848 okay we'll take that in currency if it's just the same to you okay all right joe now listen we expect to bring in many times that amount we think we've got a rich strike we don't want anybody to know anything about it but you'll tell us won't you we're not telling anybody harris but when we do get ready to let the location be known you'll be the first ones in on it thanks come on jake we gotta go buy a dog a porterhouse date they made a rich strike and it's up to us to locate it i wouldn't mind having old man benson's ranch either he used to run cattle of course he doesn't know it but i got most of them [Music] [Music] you know jake it's a good thing we didn't file on that claim it is to tip the whole town off to the location and confined our operations as it is we can work the whole creek yeah your idea of crossing windy flats and entering the town from the other side if you were had them puzzled it sure has they've been back trailing us now for two months and they always get stuck at windy flats they think this mine's on the middle of the desert because we take a little rest son just a few more days and betty will be coming well don't you think we better be getting back in getting some of this dirt out of our hide yeah i reckon you're right you know you want to sure look your best [Applause] [Music] wait [Music] i'll give you every nugget you find in the past here comes old benson now and mason isn't winning good are the papers all ready everything hello jake hi well what luck this time not too bad not so bad [Music] so [Music] [Applause] to me [Music] let's see it's 16 an ounce that's uh 2335 dollars how do you have it in coin or build well bills is easiest to carry all right joe sit down jake i've got to have your signature this time jake the government demands that they get a receipt for all monies paid out for raw gold sure but y'all stamp the date on that will you [Music] [Music] so [Music] there you are and here's your money thanks give him a canteen will you i'll be seeing you funners again money soon

thirty-five dollars i'm going to hold out 500 of that pay on this blacksmith shop tomorrow you know jerry i got an idea this is going to be a valuable corner someday and we ain't going to let go of it

before we got there [Music] [Music] what do we get there boys oh hello hello i uh you see sierra if we recognize this canteen it belongs to old jake benson whenever jake brought in his nuggets to us unknown to anyone else he brought them in this canteen and we thought it was kind of funny that old jakes disappeared and mason should have this where is me he went in the courthouse but we'd go in and see what mason's doing i reckon he can explain this [Music] [Music] he's filing on a mining claim sheriff ah probably old jake's claim well we'll just wait till he gets here howdy boys what's all the powwow about just how did you come to have this canteen of nuggets i don't care to answer that question harris whose claim are you just filing on mason my own claim do you know anything about jake benson's disappearance yes i know he hasn't come back i'm sorry mason but i'll have to hold you until we can locate jake that's fair enough when do i get my preliminary hearing the first thing tomorrow morning you better take charge of those nuggets sheriff [Music] what are they gonna do to me i think you killed o.j they do what's happened what's wrong mason's up for murder murder yes [Music] [Applause] sheriff may i please have a moment's estimation yes i guess so go ahead thank you now listen betty they think i'd murdered your granddad now don't say anything to anyone but hurry home and tell jake that i have a preliminary hearing in the morning and for him to get there without being seen by anyone all right jay goodbye goodbye brandy they've got jerry locked up in jail
