Apache Gold (1910)
John Mills, a young prospector, takes advantage of an accident to Spring Blossom, the daughter of an Apache chief, to win her affections and get himself adopted as a member of the tribe and is married to the Chief's daughter. His interest in the woman is on account of the apparently inexhaustible store of gold the Apache possesses and when as a member of the tribe, he is shown the location of the placer mine he loads himself down with the precious metal and returns to his own people, forgetful of the little Indian girl who mourns his going. Some years later Mills, his money gone, secretly returns to the mine to replenish his store and is overseen by a member of the tribe. He is captured and with true Apache cruelty he is tied to a tree with water and food within reach of his one free hand. But to take food or water will result in the discharge of a gun, giving him his choice of quick or lingering death, though the Indians know that he will suffer as long as possible in the hope of rescue. A little Indian boy sprains his ankle so badly that he cannot move and in response to his piteous pleas Mills reaches for the water, knowing that his action will cause the discharge of the gun and enable the boy to approach the water with safety. At that moment Spring Blossom appears and releases her husband, telling him that the sacrifice that he was about to make was for the sake of their child. The now repentant Mills takes them away with him and they settle upon a farm bought with Apache gold far from the Apache camp.
