The foreman of the quartz mine has a pretty daughter. She is loved by the young engineer on the works and also by a prospector who salts a worthless hole in the ground with gold dust and induces the girl's father to mortgage his home to grubstake him while developing it. The father is injured and dies just before a payment on the mortgage becomes due, but the girl gets an extension. The superintendent, who holds the mortgage, becomes interested and sends the young engineer to inspect the claim. He tells the truth and the mortgage is foreclosed; the girl is homeless. She is near the mine when the villain forces unwelcome attentions on her. The hero comes and there is a lively struggle in which the bad man is disposed of. The acting is of the well-known "Flying A" quality without the usual leading lady; it is good and the photographs also are. It is a desirable filler. - The Moving Picture World, February 17, 1912
