As they pass through the tunnels they see in the distance the astral form of what appears to be an Indian maiden of rare beauty. The young owner is astonished and that evening, in the old caretaker's hut, he is told the story of the ghost of the mine. Years before the uncle, now dead, had come to those parts a prospector. He had fallen in love with the daughter of a hotelkeeper and this love had been returned. A beautiful Indian girl fell a victim to bis charms. While her love was of the humblest variety, she sought in many little ways to show her regard. A prowling Mexican, causing trouble around the camp had been warned off by the uncle. The Mexican swore revenge. He saw his chance when the Indian went into the mine to clean the uncle's gun. He tried to force his attentions on her. There was a struggle. The Mexican, with the uncle's gun, killed the girl. Evidence pointed to the uncle as the guilty man. The Mexican had escaped, leaving the prospector behind. According to western justice, the miners decided to string the prospector up. His fiancée was heartbroken. That night, while she was riding home, by the way of the mine, the spirit of the dead girl suddenly showed itself. It beckoned her. The fiancée followed over a precipitous path in the mountains where, in a hut, she found the Mexican with a broken leg. The Mexican confessed to her; the spirit faded away. In this way the uncle had been saved. The girl's spirit had always haunted the mine.
