Here a mine that has been salted is purchased by Barker. Billy Cousins, the assayer, falls in love with Barker's pretty daughter, and when her father brings him the ore, he hasn't the heart to tell the old man the truth, so gives him a favorable assay and tells him he will buy the ore. Accordingly, Barker does this, and we see Cousins contemplating a large pile of junk ore. Later, an Englishman arrives and Barker sells the mine to him. He tells the assayer all about it and Cousins, realizing that Barker has sold a worthless mine, rushes out after the Englishman, and after an exciting argument, the deed is turned back and the Englishman is given his money. Cousins then leads Barker and Bessie to the rear of his house and shows them the worthless ore. He asks Bessie if he may be her gold mine forever, and Bessie, not being averse to this, fondly nestles in his arms. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
