One day the widow receives a letter from one of her husband's former companions stating that he died without leaving anything of value. The mine he owned and worked is looked upon as worthless and can hardly be considered an asset. Mrs. Black, however, has not lost faith in her deceased husband's judgment and putting her daughter in a boarding school, she manages to scrape together enough money to make the journey. Her arrival at the camp creates a sensation and she is duly installed in her husband's cabin and then escorted to his mine. Here she engages several men to work the abandoned mine. Her small supply of money soon dwindles. The men she has employed leave in disgust and she decides to work the mine herself. The men in camp ridicule her and it is only through the efforts of Bill Jones that she is left unmolested. Her hardships are finally rewarded and she strikes a rich vein only to collapse completely from the strain of the work. Through the nursing of Bill she is again brought around. Upon her recovery she finds that a Swede has jumped her claim. During a blizzard the Swede falls exhausted in the snow while his partner manages to crawl into camp and give the alarm. The men refuse to venture out in such a storm and it is only through the efforts of Mrs. Black that he is rescued. In return for this service the Swede returns to her the mine, and her cup of happiness is filled by the unexpected arrival of her daughter. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
