He takes her into the mountains of Nevada and establishes her in a comfortable little cabin while he explores the surrounding country for gold. Neil McLeane, a hardy son of the west, is prospecting in the same locality and becomes deeply interested in Grace. He has an altercation with an Indian who forced his attention on Grace, and makes him a deadly enemy. Neil discovers gold in the same claim that Saunders makes a strike and both men are about to register their ownership of the claim by fastening a slip of paper on the same tree at the same time. A dispute arises and Neil is disarmed by Saunders and bound to the tree. But as Saunders backs away from his prisoner he stops into a bear trap and is himself held prisoner not ten yards from Neil. Saunders finally consents to throw Neil his knife if Neil will rescue him from the bear trap after he has cut his own bonds. The knife is tied to a string and thrown to Neil, but falls short of its mark, and as Saunders draws it back to him for another trial, the string breaks and both men are now helpless. The Indian appears on the scene and, seeing a chance for revenge on Neil, lights a fire around him and is about to leave him to a miserable death when Neil manages to free one of his hands and slay the Indian with his own sheath knife. He then cuts himself loose and frees Saunders. The terrible mental and physical torture both men have experienced has taught them a lesson and the disputed claim is divided equally between them as partners, while Grace further cements the partnership by giving Neil her hand in marriage.
