00:14Pretty bad now, but you might fix her up with some female doodads.
00:18But how are we gonna make a living here?
00:20Well, before we go off the deep end, let's take a look at that map here and see what you bought.
00:24Yes, the map.
00:25What can I do with that?
00:27Here, Dad.
00:28Oh, yes. Thank you, my dear. Here it is.
00:33The area outlined in red is ours.
00:36Just when I thought... I was almost sure, but...
00:38What is it, Hoppy?
00:40That box canyon that is on the Paradise.
00:42Those are the rocks we climbed to find those three strays last fall.
00:45Yeah, and Hoppy got lost for a couple of hours. I remember.
00:47Oh, I didn't get lost. I just found something and I was taking a good look at it.
00:51What'd you find, Mr. Cassidy?
00:53Traces of silver.
00:54Silver? Well, then we're rich.
00:57Ah, that's nothing to get excited about.
00:59It might be a little and it might be a lot.
01:01Silver lies pretty deep. It's much harder to get out than gold.
01:04Ah, what's she used to thinking about?
01:06Loony's broke and we couldn't scare up enough money to start tunneling even if it was good ore.
01:11Pretty tough, isn't it, Hoppy? Yeah.
01:14Well, thanks for everything you've done for us.
01:16But I guess we ought to try to get some of our money back and go east.
01:19That Bentley won't give up her sand.
01:21Well, then I guess we'll just have to stay here and try to get along somehow.
01:25Maybe I can find the answer.
01:27Where are you going? I'm going to town.
01:29You two boys stay here and see what you can do for me.
01:31You got something in mind, Hoppy? Don't you need us?
01:32Not this time. It's nothing like that.
01:34This is just a nice, friendly business trip.
