The Eldorado Lode

Jim Harris had pinned all his hopes for years on the Eldorado Lode and somehow it had never seemed to quite pan out and when his little baby girl was hurt and he needed money for a serious and expensive operation upon her, he threw everything in the balance and offered to sell the mine to a New York mining corporation at almost any price. They sent a man out west to investigate and purchase it at the lowest possible price. But the mining expert meets with an accident on the mountain trail near the Eldorado Lode and Jim Harris finds him unconscious with his horse dead beside him. Harris takes him to his humble home and his wife nurses him back to life and health. Thus it is that the expert comes to understand the suffering and great need of money that is forcing Harris to sell and upon investigating the mine he discovers it is worth a fortune. During all this a rival company has been watching and one day the New York man finds another man in the mine making the same discovery that he made and the former realizes it is a case of wits, nerve and muscle in order to win a vast fortune. In a very short space of time all these are brought into play as he finds himself bound hand and foot by a Mexican greaser while his rival rides away to complete the purchase of the mine. By quick wit and forcible action the captor finds himself the captured and mounting the Mexican's horse, the man from New York starts on a race for the possession of the mine. His rival's horse becomes lame and our New York expert finds there is nothing, beyond closing the deal with its owner, to prevent him taking possession of the mine. Harris has gone for the doctor for his little child and when the expert arrives at the doctor's house he hears the father pleading for help and medical aid. Realizing that he is about to win a fortune for a rich New York corporation at the price of his own ideals and is cheating a man out of something that means so much to him, it so ends that when the purchase is finally completed, Jim Harris is still half owner of the Eldorado Lode and the possessor of a check for $60,000. The last scene closes with the joy of the child's life being saved and the mother's fond eyes expressing mute thanks to a man who did what he thought right.
