including the United States Marshal.

You can tell Armin and tell him this-

I ain't aimin' to go to no gallows alone.

Walking from here to Chicago and back doesn't do my

carpet any good. Besides, it doesn't solve anything.

What am I gonna do about thatJackson?

How am I gonna keep him quiet?

So you got a prisoner who threatens to make

trouble. I think we can handle that situation.

What about them lamps burning

all night in the Wallace office,

their stockade bustin'

with mules and new equipment?

I tell you there's somethin' goin'

on over there. Oh, I know all that.

What I want to know is,

what do they got in the fire?

What their contacts are? What their bids

are? I want a report from the inside.

How you gonna get it?

The party who's gonna attend to that

is on the way here now-

so stop worrying...

and get off my desk!

Gonna run all night

Gonna run all day

Bet my money on a bob-tailed nag

Somebody bet on the bay

Hey, wait a minute!

What are you tryin' to do, scald me

tender enough to pick my pin feathers?

Listen, you, you're having

supper with nice folks...

and you don't to want to

smell like a mule, do you?

Well, I ain't aimin' to stay

after vittles anyhow.

I gotta meet Pearl when she closes

her Tonsorial Parlor. Yeah.

What are you lookin' at me

like that for?

Juke, there's a sheriff looking

for you somewhere. Where? Where?

Ah, what'd you say that for?

Nobody'd hide behind that foliage you're wearin'

unless he was playing hooky from somebody's jail.

Now ain't that a nice thing to say.

Here I agree to work with you fellas,

take you into my home and-

Say, how do I know how many sheriffs

is chasin' you around the country?

I'm gettin' that look again.

What does it mean this time?

This time it means

I'm gonna cut your hair.

No, sir! You ain't gonna

do no such a durn thing now!

Stay away from me with them

sheep shears. Go on now.

Hey, who's this

awful-looking character? Huh?

Character? Why, doggone it, that's

me without my whiskers. Yeah.

Cole, this is gonna be a secret

just twixt you and me, huh?

You fellas ought to be

ashamed of yourselves.

That costs plenty of money. Oh, I don't

know what you fellas are worrying about.

You got wagons, mules, men, money enough

for wages and feed till you get goin'.

I guess that ought to show John Armin you mean

business, eh, Cole? I reckon you're right,Juke.

But I'm just realizing how much I gotta

learn about this ore-freighting business.

Ted, where is that Half-High mine

you're talking about?

It's a lot easier to show you

on the map. Come on.

That'll give you a better idea.

Uh-huh.

Now this is the road to the mine. Yeah.

It's the only way up.
