Howdy, folks.
I'’m the Old Ranger,
8
00:00:35,513 --> 00:00:38,299
and I have another
interesting true story for you
9
00:00:38,342 --> 00:00:40,301
about the historic
Death Valley Country.
10
00:00:43,521 --> 00:00:47,351
Tonight, we go back
to the year 1876.
11
00:00:47,395 --> 00:00:50,311
The old mining camp
of Pioche, Nevada,
12
00:00:50,354 --> 00:00:53,488
which lays just across
the line from Utah.
13
00:00:53,531 --> 00:00:57,231
In Pioche at that time,
there was a young assayer
by the name of Murphy.
14
00:00:57,274 --> 00:01:00,190
Now, what his first name was,
nobody seems to remember,
15
00:01:00,234 --> 00:01:03,367
which is odd, considering
the important part he plays
16
00:01:03,411 --> 00:01:05,282
in this famous story of...
17
00:01:19,166 --> 00:01:22,299
Metalliferous Murphy
was the nickname he went by,
18
00:01:22,343 --> 00:01:24,954
but the prospector
who burst into the assay office
19
00:01:24,997 --> 00:01:26,608
that day in November '’76

00:01:26,651 --> 00:01:28,827

to call him.
21
00:01:28,871 --> 00:01:31,352
What'’s the idea,
making a report like this,
Murphy?
22
00:01:32,483 --> 00:01:33,658
What'’s the matter with it?
23
00:01:33,702 --> 00:01:35,965
You say those samples
assayed at $40 a ton.
24
00:01:36,008 --> 00:01:38,533
They did.Then how come when
I try to sell my claim,
25
00:01:38,576 --> 00:01:40,752
the best assay anybody else
can get is half that?
26
00:01:40,796 --> 00:01:43,059
These results
were exact, Meeker.
27
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:45,627

I'’ve been doing assays

an honest report.

Has it occurred to you
those other assays
32
00:01:56,420 --> 00:01:58,379
may have been faked
to knock your price down?
33
00:01:58,422 --> 00:02:00,555
Not a chance.
They were done
by reliable outfits.

I showed it to some rock sharps.

the back of their hands.

I don'’t know where
your sample came from,
but this is a true report on it.

Seems our friend here has
a habit of boosting values.

That'’s a lie.

What possible reason
could I have?

the more we'’ll

46
00:02:30,802 --> 00:02:34,023
Yeah, the more samples
we bring in for you to assay,
the more fees you collect.

it had metal in it.

and scoop a handful of gravel,

Oh, that'’s ridiculous.
Everybody knows sandstone
never contains any metals.
170
00:08:51,095 --> 00:08:52,575
Well, that'’s just
why we selected it--
171
00:08:52,619 --> 00:08:54,838
because it'’s
absolutely worthless.
172
00:08:54,882 --> 00:08:58,059
Yeah, but what do you want
to bet that Mr. Murphy
will find some values in it?
173
00:08:58,102 --> 00:09:00,714
I'’d stake my life he wouldn't.Mm.
174
00:09:00,757 --> 00:09:03,934
Well, that'’s great, because
you'’re just the guy that's
gonna take him these samples.
175
00:09:03,978 --> 00:09:06,546
Me? Oh, no. I don'’t want
any part of the deal.
176

What'’s the matter,
you afraid? What do you mean?
177
00:09:09,070 --> 00:09:11,551
Afraid to show him up
for the fraud
that he really is?
178
00:09:11,594 --> 00:09:13,640
Murphy'’s a man of integrity.
179
00:09:13,683 --> 00:09:16,294
Well, here'’s your chance
to prove it by taking him
these samples.
180
00:09:16,338 --> 00:09:19,341
Go get me a sack.
If he says they'’re worthless,
well, that settles it.
181
00:09:19,384 --> 00:09:21,169
He'’s honest.
182
00:09:21,212 --> 00:09:23,606
But if he don'’t--
If he turns in
a good report...
183
00:09:23,650 --> 00:09:26,043
That'’s impossible.
184
00:09:26,087 --> 00:09:29,960
Well, he'’s your friend.
You want to clear his
reputation, don'’t you?
185

All right.
I'’ll do it.

You just might
tip your hand.

Yeah, you better--
You better go with him, Frank.

Oh, some samples
I'’d like a report on.

00:10:21,316 --> 00:10:24,624
Sure, John.
I'’ll give them one of my best,
professional assays.

Uh, when do you think
you can get to them?

In a hurry, huh?Yeah, sort of.

pay dirt this time, huh?

this afternoon.

Well, I was just kind of curious
what John had in the sack.

is his business.

After you went out last night,
John, Murph and I set the date.

He wanted to get married
right away, but I persuaded him
to wait till Christmas.

That'’s only another month,
and it'’ll give me time
to make a wedding dress.

Well, sure I have.
You'’re getting married.

to stand up with him.

you'’d be giving me away,

very well do both.

All right, boys.
Hold up the party, boys.
332
00:17:00,323 --> 00:17:03,065
Oh, come on!I said "hold up,"
not "call it off."
333
00:17:03,109 --> 00:17:04,893
We all know what
the outcome will be.
334
00:17:04,936 --> 00:17:07,200
Take him over to his office,
and take John along, too.
335
00:17:07,243 --> 00:17:08,810
I'’m going over
to the blacksmith'’s shed
336
00:17:08,853 --> 00:17:10,551
and pick up some more samples
of that grindstone.
337
00:17:10,594 --> 00:17:12,509
I'’ll meet you at his office.
338

You know,
I'’m doing this just for you.
339

Oh, he'’ll still get his.

Then I'’ll stand
a better chance with Lisa
when it'’s all over.

MEEKER:
Lisa, what are you doing here?
344
00:17:39,667 --> 00:17:43,323
I just wanted to make sure
there'’s no trick to this.
345

"Trick"?
346
00:17:45,368 --> 00:17:48,110
You are taking a sample

from the same rock
he tested before?
348
00:17:51,940 --> 00:17:53,898
You can see for yourself.
349
00:17:55,422 --> 00:17:57,815
Yes.And you'’ll soon see,
once and for all,
350
00:17:57,859 --> 00:17:59,991
just what kind of a guy
this Murphy is.
351

You come along with me,
and I'’ll show you something.

Dad, keep the tar hot.
We'’ll be needing it.Huh?
355
00:18:09,175 --> 00:18:12,526
The tar!
Keep it boiling!Oh, boiling. Yeah.

to do it.

Well, we'’re ready
to test the concentrates.

00:20:27,356 --> 00:20:29,097
"Concentrates"?
You mean sand.

Now we'’re coming
to the real test.
369

Sulfuric acid
will dissolve everything.

Everything is right.

Nervous, Murphy?

them tar and feathers?

Oh, no, you don'’t.
I know that old trick.
386

You put silver in a cigarette
and drop the ash.

If it'’s that rich in silver,
how come none of us saw it?

Because it'’s not
in its native state.
411

of a sulfide.
