is rocks.

Oh, they'’re not gonna
let us just walk in
and start comparing.

No, no. We don'’t have to
go in their claim.
173
00:09:41,015 --> 00:09:44,496
There'’s a ledge on the hill
running right straight
into their main shaft.

00:09:44,540 --> 00:09:46,368
We get a sample outta there,
we'’ll know.

We better get our rifles.

some real trouble.

Why don'’t we
wait till sundown?

Yeah. You may be right.

We'’re rich, Sam. Rich!

We better move outta here fast,
or we won'’t live to spend it.

We'’ll go down and record

somebody to stay with him.

you wouldn'’t be interested
in taking a look at it?

take me over there?

a pretty good time.

was in a hurry,

so I just left a note
on the nail over there,

and then when you didn'’t answer,
I didn'’t bother to look inside.

00:22:55,243 --> 00:22:57,506
Then the development work
wasn'’t done.
That means our claim was--

Yeah, it'’s forfeited.

filed on it the next day.

We had millions.
It'’s gone.

to walk inside there--No, none of that.

00:23:05,732 --> 00:23:08,474
I was just as much
to blame as you are.
336
00:23:08,517 --> 00:23:11,041
I was just as stupid
and just as careless!
337
00:23:12,173 --> 00:23:14,393
It don'’t matter now.
It'’s gone.
338
00:23:16,569 --> 00:23:18,440
Wait a minute.
339
00:23:18,484 --> 00:23:20,790
Old Whiteman'’s cement mine.
340
00:23:20,834 --> 00:23:23,532
Sam, do you hear me?
We can grab a claim
right next to his.
341
00:23:23,576 --> 00:23:25,752
We can still have
those millions.
342
00:23:32,759 --> 00:23:35,501
Not me this time, Cal.
You go ahead.
343
00:23:35,544 --> 00:23:38,417
I'’m going to Virginia City
and take a job on a paper.
344
00:23:38,460 --> 00:23:41,594
What do you mean?
You can'’t pass up
a chance like this.
345
00:23:41,637 --> 00:23:43,683
This and all
the others to come.
346
00:23:45,641 --> 00:23:47,948
I don'’t know whether this
is gonna make me a millionaire,
347
00:23:49,863 --> 00:23:52,518
but this is my gold mine
from now on.
348
00:23:56,435 --> 00:23:59,176
And a gold mine it was
for Samuel Clemens
349
00:23:59,220 --> 00:24:01,222
and the millions who read
and loved his books,
350
00:24:01,265 --> 00:24:04,791
Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn,
and many others.
351
00:24:04,834 --> 00:24:06,793
In one of his early books,
Roughing It,
352
00:24:06,836 --> 00:24:08,751
Sam wrote this dedication:
353
00:24:08,795 --> 00:24:11,624
"To Calvin H. Higbie,
of California,
354
00:24:11,667 --> 00:24:15,758
"an honest man,
a genial comrade,
and a steadfast friend.
355
00:24:15,802 --> 00:24:18,108
"This book is dedicated
by the author,
356
00:24:18,152 --> 00:24:20,023
"in memory
of the curious time
357
00:24:20,067 --> 00:24:23,723
when we were millionaires
for ten days."
358
00:24:23,766 --> 00:24:26,943
Next week, another true story
from Western history.
