170
00:08:49,867 --> 00:08:51,900
AND THAT'S ALL WE'VE GOT.
RIGHT.
171
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:53,600
AT LEAST THERE I KNOW
WE CAN GET THESE GUYS
172
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,433
SOME MONEY
IN THEIR POCKET.
173
00:08:55,433 --> 00:08:57,233
GET THEM A LITTLE BREAD MONEY.
I GET IT.
174
00:08:57,233 --> 00:08:58,667
WE DON'T NEED
AN ANSWER NOW.
175
00:08:58,667 --> 00:09:01,400
I WANT YOU TO KIND OF THINK
ABOUT IT AND THINK TO YOURSELF,
176
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,233
"CAN WE GET DOWN IN TIME
AND DO IT?"
177
00:09:03,233 --> 00:09:05,833
AND SLUICE IT
BEFORE THE SNOW FLIES.
178
00:09:05,833 --> 00:09:08,833
AND IF WE CAN'T DRAW YOU
ON BOARD, IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
179
00:09:11,967 --> 00:09:13,367
Narrator: DOWN SOUTH,
180
00:09:13,367 --> 00:09:17,567
JUST OUTSIDE
THE BIG NUGGET MINE IN ALASKA,
181
00:09:17,567 --> 00:09:20,800
17-YEAR-OLD MINE BOSS
PARKER SCHNABEL
182
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,833
RECEIVES DEVASTATING NEWS.
183
00:09:27,633 --> 00:09:31,033
Parker: I TALKED TO MY PARENTS,
AND THEY TOLD ME
184
00:09:31,033 --> 00:09:35,033
THAT MY GRANDPA'S HAD A, UM --
185
00:09:35,033 --> 00:09:37,033
HAD A HEART ATTACK.
186
00:09:42,733 --> 00:09:46,400
IT'S JUST NOT
A [BLEEP] GOOD DAY.
187
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:52,133
YOU KNOW,
MY GRANDPA'S PROBABLY...
188
00:09:52,133 --> 00:09:56,067
THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON
IN MY LIFE, AND...
189
00:09:56,067 --> 00:09:59,800
FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN TO HIM
JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN
190
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,233
IS PRETTY TOUGH TO, UM...
191
00:10:02,233 --> 00:10:04,833
PRETTY TOUGH TO TAKE,
TOUGH TO HANDLE.
192
00:10:06,267 --> 00:10:08,333
Narrator:
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SUMMER,
193
00:10:08,333 --> 00:10:10,600
PARKER TOOK OVER
THE BIG NUGGET MINE
194
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,800
FROM HIS 91-YEAR-OLD
GRANDFATHER, JOHN.
195
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:14,867
THANKS, GRANDPA.
196
00:10:14,867 --> 00:10:16,533
John:
PARKER HAS A VISION
197
00:10:16,533 --> 00:10:19,433
THAT HE'S GONNA MAKE
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EVERY DAY,
198
00:10:19,433 --> 00:10:20,800
AND I HOPE HE'S RIGHT.
199
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,300
Narrator:
JOHN WAS SUPPOSED TO RETIRE,
200
00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:27,100
BUT HE'S BEEN A CONSTANT
PRESENCE ON THE MINE...
201
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:30,533
OH, MY GRANDPA'S HERE!
NOW WE'VE GOT THE "A" TEAM!
202
00:10:30,533 --> 00:10:33,300
Narrator: ...MENTORING
HIS 17-YEAR-OLD GRANDSON
203
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:34,367
WHENEVER HE COULD.
204
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,033
I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO HOOK ONTO
THE BACK END WITH A CABLE.
205
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,867
THERE YOU GO.
THAT'S THE RIGHT WAY.
206
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:51,767
NOW JOHN IS BEING AIRLIFTED
TO THE HOSPITAL IN ANCHORAGE.
207
00:10:51,767 --> 00:10:54,367
NO ONE KNOWS IF HE'LL MAKE IT.
208
00:10:57,433 --> 00:11:02,633
Parker:
SOMETIMES I THINK ABOUT...
209
00:11:02,633 --> 00:11:04,267
YOU KNOW, WHAT IT'LL BE LIKE --
210
00:11:04,267 --> 00:11:06,833
WHAT'LL HAPPEN
WHEN MY GRANDPA PASSES AWAY.
211
00:11:08,667 --> 00:11:13,233
YOU KNOW, USUALLY, I THINK, "OH,
YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, HE'S OLD.
212
00:11:13,233 --> 00:11:15,833
I'LL BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT
FINE," BUT...
213
00:11:15,833 --> 00:11:21,200
THE TRUTH IS, IT'LL...
214
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,900
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO
WITHOUT HIM.
215
00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:38,267
Narrator:
AT PORCUPINE CREEK, IN ALASKA,
216
00:11:38,267 --> 00:11:41,133
DAKOTA FRED
HAS BEEN DIGGING FOR GOLD
217
00:11:41,133 --> 00:11:44,500
ON THE HOFFMANS' OLD CLAIM
FOR FOUR MONTHS.
218
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:46,867
Fred:
THAT'S WHERE THE GOLD IS.
219
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:50,600
Narrator: THE CREW
IS RUNNING THEIR DE-ROCKER HARD
220
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,167
AND CATCHING GOLD.
221
00:12:01,033 --> 00:12:06,500
BUT WITH ONLY 41 OUNCES OF GOLD,
WORTH $66,000,
222
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:10,067
FRED AND HIS CREW HAVE DECIDED
TO TRY AND HIT BEDROCK
223
00:12:10,067 --> 00:12:12,433
BEFORE WINTER CLOSES THEM OUT.
224
00:12:12,433 --> 00:12:16,433
Fred:
I SPENT MOST OF MY SAVINGS,
225
00:12:16,433 --> 00:12:20,433
LOST MY HOUSE ALONG THE WAY,
GOT IT FLOODED.
226
00:12:20,433 --> 00:12:21,867
WE HOPE THIS PAYS OFF.
227
00:12:21,867 --> 00:12:23,533
I'VE, UH...
228
00:12:23,533 --> 00:12:26,700
KIND OF STAKED MY...
229
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:29,600
I GUESS
WE STAKED OUR WHOLE SEASON
230
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,533
ON THE FACT THAT HOPEFULLY
THAT BEDROCK MATERIAL
231
00:12:32,533 --> 00:12:36,467
IS GONNA PAY A LOT BETTER THAN
WHAT THE UPPER MATERIAL DID.
232
00:12:36,467 --> 00:12:39,467
WE'D BETTER HAVE SOME GOLD
TO PAY IT OFF.
233
00:12:41,667 --> 00:12:45,633
I HAVE TO FIND OUT WHAT'S
AT BEDROCK, IF WE CAN FIND IT.
234
00:12:45,633 --> 00:12:47,033
IF WE CAN FIND IT.
235
00:12:47,033 --> 00:12:49,833
WHO KNOWS IF IT'S
A THOUSAND FEET?
236
00:12:49,833 --> 00:12:52,167
I HAVE NO IDEA.
237
00:12:53,933 --> 00:12:57,700
Narrator: LAST SEASON,
JACK HOFFMAN BET IT ALL
238
00:12:57,700 --> 00:13:00,400
ON HITTING BEDROCK
AT PORCUPINE CREEK.
239
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,267
Jack: I'VE JUST GOT A LITTLE
WAYS TO GET, TOUCH BEDROCK.
240
00:13:03,267 --> 00:13:07,300
THAT'S WHERE THE GOLD'S LAYING,
SO THAT'S WHAT I'M HOPING.
241
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:10,167
Narrator: BUT WHEN FRED
TOOK OVER PORCUPINE,
242
00:13:10,167 --> 00:13:13,300
HE REJECTED THE HOFFMANS'
GLORY-HOLE STRATEGY,
243
00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:17,400
OPTING TO MINE SHALLOWER
PAY DIRT ACROSS A WIDER AREA.
244
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,467
Fred: THE WAY JACK DUG TO GET
DOWN AS DEEP AS POSSIBLE --
245
00:13:20,467 --> 00:13:21,867
TOTALLY WRONG.
246
00:13:21,867 --> 00:13:26,433
Narrator: BUT AS FRED DUG DEEP,
HE FOUND MORE GOLD.
247
00:13:26,433 --> 00:13:29,133
WE KNOW NOW
WHAT'S REALLY DOWN THERE.
248
00:13:29,133 --> 00:13:30,300
UH...
249
00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:32,400
AS YOU GO DEEPER,
YOU GET BETTER.
250
00:13:36,933 --> 00:13:40,067
ALL RIGHT,
WE'RE GONNA TRY THIS...
251
00:13:40,067 --> 00:13:41,767
Narrator:
FRED IS NOW AFTER
252
00:13:41,767 --> 00:13:45,667
THE DEEPEST GOLD HE HOPES
IS SITTING ON BEDROCK.
253
00:13:45,667 --> 00:13:50,000
TO GET AT IT, HE HAS TO INCH
THE 270 EXCAVATOR
254
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,867
DOWN A DANGEROUS ROCKY BANK...
255
00:13:51,867 --> 00:13:53,600
Fred:
...IF I DON'T DIE FIRST.
256
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:58,300
Narrator: ...70 FEET
TO THE BOTTOM OF HIS PIT.
257
00:13:58,300 --> 00:14:00,600
THIS IS
A DANGEROUS MANEUVER HERE.
258
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,667
DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.
259
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,833
ABOUT A 35-, 40-DEGREE
SLOPE HERE.
260
00:14:10,333 --> 00:14:11,667
WHOA.
261
00:14:15,733 --> 00:14:17,000
WE JUST SLIDING RIGHT NOW.
262
00:14:19,033 --> 00:14:20,067
ALL RIGHT.
263
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:29,000
I'M DOWN.
264
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,133
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO.
265
00:14:47,333 --> 00:14:49,400
WHOA!
WE'RE ROCKIN' HERE.
266
00:15:00,767 --> 00:15:03,067
GONNA HAVE TO BACK UP HERE
A LITTLE BIT.
267
00:15:03,067 --> 00:15:04,867
[ BEEPING ]
268
00:15:06,567 --> 00:15:08,300
[ CRASH ]
269
00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:14,300
OH, NO.
270
00:15:16,300 --> 00:15:18,433
Fred: DUSTIN,
COME DOWN HERE IMMEDIATELY!
271
00:15:18,433 --> 00:15:21,233
I need some help!
We're in big trouble.
272
00:15:21,233 --> 00:15:22,400
BIG TROUBLE.
273
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,933
WHAT'D YOU DO?
274
00:15:23,933 --> 00:15:26,233
COMPLETELY LOST THE TRACK.
275
00:15:26,233 --> 00:15:28,367
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
276
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,700
WHAT HAPPENED?
277
00:15:42,700 --> 00:15:45,533
WELL, I GUESS A ROCK GRABBED IT,
OF SOME KIND,
278
00:15:45,533 --> 00:15:47,000
AND JUST UNROLLED IT.
279
00:15:49,067 --> 00:15:51,200
ALL RIGHT, SO,
CHECK THE BOX UP THERE
280
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,333
TO MAKE SURE
YOU DON'T HAVE A CHAIN.
281
00:15:53,333 --> 00:15:55,333
I'M GONNA GET
A CHAIN AND A SHOVEL
282
00:15:55,333 --> 00:15:58,033
AND A COME-ALONG
AND FEW OTHER LITTLE THINGS.
283
00:15:58,033 --> 00:16:02,433
Narrator: BUT THERE MAY BE
AN EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM.
284
00:16:02,433 --> 00:16:06,333
FRED'S 6-INCH PUMP
IS BARELY KEEPING UP
285
00:16:06,333 --> 00:16:09,433
WITH THE GROUND WATER
POURING INTO THE PIT.
286
00:16:09,433 --> 00:16:11,900
WE'RE RIGHT DOWN HERE WHERE
THE WATER COULD OVERTAKE THIS
287
00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:13,433
IN ABOUT FOUR HOURS.
288
00:16:13,433 --> 00:16:16,367
IT'S GONNA BE A RACE AGAINST
THE WATER LEVEL COMING UP.
289
00:16:16,367 --> 00:16:19,433
'CAUSE WE'VE HAD A LOT OF RAIN,
OUR RIVER'S HIGH.
290
00:16:19,433 --> 00:16:22,000
THAT PUMP QUITS,
291
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,100
WE CAN JUST ABOUT
KISS THIS EXCAVATOR GOODBYE,
292
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:27,600
'CAUSE IT'LL BE UNDERWATER.
293
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,667
I'VE NEVER SEEN A TRACK
THROWN THIS BAD
294
00:16:29,667 --> 00:16:33,233
TO WHERE THE IDLE WHEEL
HAS COME OFF OF THE TRACTOR.
295
00:16:33,233 --> 00:16:36,700
THIS IS VERY SERIOUS.
IT COULD BE FATAL.
296
00:16:36,700 --> 00:16:39,967
THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS SPOT
FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING IN.
297
00:16:39,967 --> 00:16:42,433
HEADS UP FOR BIG ROCKS
RIGHT HERE COMING DOWN.
298
00:16:42,433 --> 00:16:43,467
YEAH, I'M WATCHING THAT.
299
00:16:43,467 --> 00:16:45,567
ALL RIGHT,
HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.
300
00:16:45,567 --> 00:16:47,200
WE'RE GONNA MOVE
THE BUCKET.
301
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,133
I'M GONNA TRY TO HIT IT
WITH THE TOOTH AND PUSH IT IN.
302
00:16:50,133 --> 00:16:51,733
WE HAVE AN ARTICULATING ARM,
303
00:16:51,733 --> 00:16:54,533
WHICH REALLY HELPS
TO PUT A TRACK BACK ON.
304
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,067
I'M GONNA MOVE
OUT OF THE WAY.
305
00:16:59,067 --> 00:17:00,333
YOU'RE TOUCHING.
306
00:17:02,333 --> 00:17:03,767
OOH! THAT'S IT.
307
00:17:03,767 --> 00:17:07,433
THERE YOU GO. BEAUTIFUL.
DO IT AGAIN.
308
00:17:07,433 --> 00:17:08,900
OH, YEAH.
309
00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:10,600
STAND BY.
310
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:11,900
Narrator:
WITH DUSTIN AT THE CONTROLS...
311
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:13,600
STRAIGHT BACK!
312
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,267
...FRED TRIES TO FORCE THE TRACK
BACK INTO ITS GUIDE PULLEYS.
313
00:17:17,267 --> 00:17:20,500
CURL UP A LITTLE!
314
00:17:20,500 --> 00:17:22,133
STRAIGHT BACK!
315
00:17:23,333 --> 00:17:24,333
HOLD IT!
316
00:17:24,333 --> 00:17:25,467
MOVE DOWN!
317
00:17:25,467 --> 00:17:26,733
WHOA!
318
00:17:26,733 --> 00:17:27,733
WE'RE ON.
319
00:17:27,733 --> 00:17:29,900
ALL RIGHT!
320
00:17:29,900 --> 00:17:31,633
WHOO!
321
00:17:31,633 --> 00:17:32,633
YO!
322
00:17:32,633 --> 00:17:36,100
LOOKS GOOD.
YEE-HAW!
323
00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:38,300
FORTUNATELY, WE GOT IT FIXED.
324
00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:43,333
RIGHT NOW, SHE'S RUNNING.
LET'S SEE IF SHE LIKES DIGGING.
325
00:17:43,333 --> 00:17:48,367
Narrator: THE DAKOTA BOYS
LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY.
326
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,367
ALL RIGHT, BIG BOY.
LET'S SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO HERE.
327
00:18:41,867 --> 00:18:45,533
Narrator: AT QUARTZ CREEK,
DAVE TURIN IS IN HIS ELEMENT...
328
00:18:45,533 --> 00:18:47,233
WHOA!
329
00:18:47,233 --> 00:18:50,733
...PUSHING HARD
TO GET PAY DIRT IN CUT 2.
330
00:18:50,733 --> 00:18:53,667
Turin: TODD AND JACK
WANT TO GO TO CUT NUMBER 3
331
00:18:53,667 --> 00:18:55,800
AND ABANDON CUT NUMBER 2.
332
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,433
SOMETIMES I DO MY BEST THINKING
WHEN I'M RUNNING THIS DOZER.
333
00:18:59,433 --> 00:19:03,133
WHEN YOU SPEND THIS MUCH TIME
ON A DOZER, YOU CAN ACTUALLY,
334
00:19:03,133 --> 00:19:06,333
YEAH, PUSH WITHOUT THINKING
ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
335
00:19:06,333 --> 00:19:10,300
SO I'VE BEEN THINKING WE COULD
DO CUT NUMBER 2 IN ABOUT 3 DAYS
336
00:19:10,300 --> 00:19:13,700
IF I GET ENOUGH TIME

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS
669
00:36:09,667 --> 00:36:11,600
WHEN YOU START TO CUT
REAL LATE.
670
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,433
YOU GOT PERMAFROST THAT MELTS,
TURNS TO MUD,
671
00:36:14,433 --> 00:36:16,633
SO IT MAKES IT REALLY DIFFICULT.
672
00:36:19,733 --> 00:36:22,000
THAT'S ICE.
673
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,267
SEE HOW IT'S --
674
00:36:23,267 --> 00:36:26,433
I CAN'T GET ANY TRACTION.
675
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:31,400
DANG IT.

AT QUARTZ CREEK,

00:36:50,333 --> 00:36:54,800
GREG REMSBURG AND DAVE TURIN
ARE OPENING A THIRD CUT,
679
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,033
BUT THE D8 IS STUCK.
680
00:36:58,033 --> 00:37:02,733
GREG COMES OVER TO PULL THE
84,000-POUND D8 OUT OF THE MUD.
681
00:37:02,733 --> 00:37:04,300
TRY TO LIFT YOU
A LITTLE BIT?
682
00:37:04,300 --> 00:37:08,467
NO, JUST -- IT'S JUST,
YOU'RE HUNG UP ON THAT RING,
683
00:37:08,467 --> 00:37:11,067
SO GO THAT WAY
AND CURL UP A LITTLE BIT.
684
00:37:11,067 --> 00:37:12,400
OKAY.
685
00:37:21,333 --> 00:37:23,533
[ BEEPING ]
686
00:37:28,733 --> 00:37:30,667
WE'RE GONNA BE LUCKY
687
00:37:30,667 --> 00:37:33,667
IF WE DON'T LOSE
ONE OF THESE PIECES OUT HERE.
688
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,333
DAVE IS IN
DEEPER THAN HE THOUGHT.
689
00:37:59,733 --> 00:38:02,033
I'M GONNA NEED
ANOTHER PULL, GREG.
690
00:38:06,467 --> 00:38:09,200
WHAT A MESS.
691
00:38:10,767 --> 00:38:13,633
Turin: THIS IS A REAL GAMBLE.
692
00:38:13,633 --> 00:38:16,700
THE RISK IS THAT THIS MACHINE
DOESN'T MAKE IT.
693
00:38:20,267 --> 00:38:22,933
WITHOUT THIS MACHINE,
WE'RE DONE.
694
00:38:22,933 --> 00:38:25,633
WE MIGHT AS WELL JUST GO HOME
AND CALL IT A WINTER.
695
00:38:25,633 --> 00:38:30,367
Narrator: GREG WANTS PROOF
THAT THERE IS GOLD IN CUT 3
696
00:38:30,367 --> 00:38:33,367
BEFORE HE TAKES ANY MORE RISKS.
697
00:38:33,367 --> 00:38:36,833
Remsburg: TODD THINKS
THERE'S A PAY LAYER DOWN HERE.
698
00:38:36,833 --> 00:38:39,300
I GOT TO SEE IT FOR MYSELF.
699
00:38:40,533 --> 00:38:43,133
I'D SAY LET'S GET A PAN
AND FIND OUT.
700
00:38:47,067 --> 00:38:49,433
THIS IS JUST
FROM A SMALL PILE OF DIRT
701
00:38:49,433 --> 00:38:52,267
RIGHT OUT OF CUT NUMBER 3,
702
00:38:52,267 --> 00:38:55,867
ABOUT 25 FEET FROM THE CREEK.
703
00:38:55,867 --> 00:38:59,367
SO I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE
THE GOLD, BUT I'M SKEPTICAL.
704
00:39:01,333 --> 00:39:04,567
I'D LIKE TO FIND
A BIG OLD NUGGET.
705
00:39:06,167 --> 00:39:08,167
OH, LOOK AT THAT.
706
00:39:10,033 --> 00:39:13,633
THERE'S PROBABLY 30 --
30 PIECES.
707
00:39:13,633 --> 00:39:18,133
TIMES LIKE THESE,
I DON'T MIND BEING WRONG.
708
00:39:18,133 --> 00:39:21,867
BECAUSE WE'VE GOT
A LOT OF COLOR.
709
00:39:21,867 --> 00:39:25,000
THAT'S ACTUALLY
PRETTY NICE STUFF,
710
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,733
AND IT'S COMING FROM
NOT VERY DEEP.
711
00:39:28,733 --> 00:39:30,133
WHAT DO YOU GOT?
712
00:39:33,633 --> 00:39:34,733

00:39:37,367 --> 00:39:39,333
RIGHT? IT'S NOT
SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.
715
00:39:39,333 --> 00:39:41,100
THAT'S ALL
I NEEDED TO HEAR.
716
00:39:41,100 --> 00:39:42,300
I TOLD YOU!
717
00:39:42,300 --> 00:39:44,500
JUST NEEDED TO HEAR HIMSELF SAY,
"I TOLD YOU SO."
718
00:39:44,500 --> 00:39:45,500
I TOLD YOU SO.
719
00:39:45,500 --> 00:39:47,433
I'M TELLING YOU,
IT'S IN THERE.
720
00:39:47,433 --> 00:39:50,867
THAT'S AS GOOD AS ANY PAN
THAT WE'VE EVER SEEN.

00:39:50,867 --> 00:39:52,600

OF PIECES OF GOLD.

TO THIS WHOLE SEASON.

WHAT'S THE PLAN, FRED?
728
00:40:31,700 --> 00:40:33,933
GONNA DO A FULL CLEANOUT.
729
00:40:33,933 --> 00:40:35,033
AND THEN?
730
00:40:35,033 --> 00:40:36,600
CONCENTRATE IT
AND PAN IT OUT.

CLEAN THE SLUICE BOXES.
732
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,367
Fred:
CERTAINLY HOPING TO GET
733
00:40:45,367 --> 00:40:48,700
A LITTLE BIT BETTER RETURN TODAY
THAN WE NORMALLY GET,
734
00:40:48,700 --> 00:40:50,433
BUT RIGHT NOW,
WE'RE GETTING READY
735
00:40:50,433 --> 00:40:51,700
TO GO OVER AND DO A CLEANUP,
736
00:40:51,700 --> 00:40:55,400
SEE IF WE CAN'T HIT
THAT MAGIC 50 OUNCES.
737
00:40:55,400 --> 00:41:00,733
Narrator: 50 OUNCES
IS FRED'S BREAK-EVEN POINT.
738
00:41:00,733 --> 00:41:04,367
WITH BREAKDOWNS, FLOODING,
AND AN MSHA CLOSURE,

RUN THEIR MACHINES FOR 80 DAYS.
740
00:41:09,967 --> 00:41:12,967
THERE'S GOLD IN THERE.
I CAN SEE IT.

OF $1,000 A DAY,

00:41:16,467 --> 00:41:21,067

ONCE THEY PASS $80,000,

OR 50 OUNCES OF GOLD.

00:41:39,067 --> 00:41:41,633
I'VE NOT WEIGHED
ALL THIS GOLD EVER.

IF THIS IS GONNA WORK OR NOT.
