The Mountain Girl's Self-Sacrifice (1912)
The capitalist, Arthur Wilbur, accompanied by his daughter Mary, is spending his vacation in a mining district. They are joined by Kenneth Miller, a mining engineer, who is engaged to Mary. Wilbur is attracted by a mining proposition and promises the promoter, Hill, and the two prospectors, Keller and his son, to look over the property. Kenneth hears of it and persuades Wilbur to let him go in his stead. Hill and the Kellers salt the prospect freely and carefully and are chagrined when Kenneth appears with a letter from Wilbur stating that he will abide by Kenneth's decision. It does not take the engineer long to decide that the mine has been "arranged," and in his anger Kenneth tells the men they are a gang of swindlers. They attack him, bind and blindfold him, and Old Keller and his son take him to their forest cabin. Here Kenneth meets the pretty and unsophisticated daughter of Old Keller, who pities this good looking, wounded man and tends to his wounds and ministers to his comfort. She falls in love with him and although she learns that he loves another girl, she conquers her sorrow and longing and eventually assists him to escape. Hill sends a bogus telegram to Wilbur stating that the mine is all that was claimed for it and saying that he (Kenneth) would not be back for some days. Wilbur is satisfied, but Mary, with a woman's intuition, scents trouble, wires the sheriff and worries her father into making a personal investigation. They meet Hill and proceed to the mine where Hill is arrested. They hear a woman's shout and following the urgent call arrive in time to prevent Kenneth's being killed by the Kellers, who have followed the fugitives.
