they just went into.

My name's Charles Dakin...

I'd like to file a claim

to an abandoned mine I found.

Location?

I've got a map here.

This mine is under the title of the Durango...

is that correct?

That's right.

Abandoned 1912...

...reverted back to the U.S. Government

in 1913.

Apparently worthless.

Apparently.

Well... the title's clear.

You understand of course

that you have to

put in at least $100 worth of maintenance a year

in order to retain your claim.

I do.

As a matter of fact...

...I'd look into this very carefully,

if I were you.

Isn't there something I should sign?

Alright... come in.

County Recorder's office...

They're looking at a map.

What do you make of it?

Maybe Charlie likes the climate,

and figures on settling down.

It looks like we're near

the end of the trail.

I was beginning to think

they were headed for Mexico.

Let's nail 'em

when they come out, eh?

What for?

The stuff is not in their car...

They got it stashed out

around here someplace.

We'll keep tailin' 'em.

Done much mining, Mr Dakin?

Some...

Placer or hard-rock?

Both.

You must operate with gloves on.

I been away a long time.

For your record, Mr Dakin.

Thank you.

Thanks very much.

We'll never make it in THIS car.

I got an old jalopy

parked here in town.

What about supplies?

All taken care of.

It's no use tryin' to go any further

in THIS crate.

Now I know why they shifted cars.

Well, anyway...

we know where they are.

Yeah... where?

There's 1000 miles of these mountains

they could hide in.

Well, what do we do?

Get the jack and get this thing

off of here...

We'll go back to town and find the guy

they were talkin' to in the Recorder's Office.

Well... this is it, Mr Dakin.

That's quite a road.

You should've seen it

before I got it smoothed out.

There... there's the Durango.

I'll show you the mine...

...and then we'll get the stuff

cleared out of the car.

What a mess!

Any cave-ins?

No... it's safe enough.

I blasted a hole to hide it.

I blasted a hole to hide it..

Hold it!

Alright, I got you covered...

Come on out!

Seor?

Well, I'll be...

What a you doing in there?

I was after Poco.

Poco?

My burro, seor.

He used to work in the mines.

He still likes to go back into them.

But what were you doing out here?

- Look, sister...

- Wait a minute, Ernie!

You've got to pardon my partner

and myself, Seorita...

...for being a little nervous...

Darango isn't very safe.

I was very careful, seor...

my father...

You mean there's somebody else in there?

No, seor... I do not.

I was about to say that my father

was nearby if I needed him.

We were getting water from the well.

We always use the Darango well.
