The Golden Princess Mine (1913)

The young prospector is discouraged with his claim. So also is the old prospector, who lives close by with his wife and daughter, Ramona, the young fellow's sweetheart. An Indian leaves his daughter at the camp and goes to town to buy provisions. He pays for them with gold nuggets. A Mexican follows him away and demands to know where he got the nuggets. The young prospector interferes in the fight that ensues. At the placer mine the Mexican steals some nuggets while the miners are at lunch and showing them to the old prospector he offers him a share in the scheme if Ramona will marry him. The girl scorns his suit. Later, the old Indian observes that his young benefactor is down-hearted and offers to take him, blindfolded, to the mine. When the bandage is removed from his eyes the fellow finds himself in an unknown cave and skeletons around a pile of nuggets in one corner. They return with a generous supply. The Mexican seeks out the Indian and at the point of a gun forces him to lead the way to the mine. The Indian suddenly tries to overpower the Mexican and is shot. Living, he crawls back and tells the young prospector the news and draws the location of the mine with his finger on the sand. At the mouth of the mine the prospector meets the Mexican and a fight takes place in which the Mexican is killed.
