A drama full of pathos, beginning with the misfortune of a man out of work and the distressful results which followed. The action and the photography are both good, but the manufacturers would have improved it to have allowed the wife to live until the miner returned with his fortune. One likes to see a good ending where life begins in misfortune. There is sorrow enough in all lives without intensifying its presence by picturing what may have occurred in the lives of others. The miner found his daughter and granddaughter, but the wife had gone to her rest. It would be better if she lived to welcome him home. As it is, this film ought to enjoy a long run. -- The Moving Picture World, December 12, 1908
