:09:07
- Too late for coffee, mister?
- (Woman) Howdy.
:09:10
I think there's a few warm dregs left.
:09:13
- Oh. Howdy, ma'am.
- Step down.
:09:18
Much obliged.
:09:22
- They keeping you busy?
- Yep.
:09:24
Packing out the ore
and packing in the vittles.
:09:28
Them miners can eat more beans
than they raise in all of Boston.
:09:31
- Now they want me to bring in a mill.
- All at once?
:09:34
No, just a few pieces at a time.
:09:36
They got tired of waiting for the railroad
to reach them.
:09:39
Between you and me,
I don't think it will before snow.
:09:42
You're hoping it won't?
:09:44
- First I was.
- Uh-huh.
:09:45
Figured it'd put me out of business. It won't.
:09:48
- It won't?
- No. It's a funny thing about gold.
:09:51
There's always some jackass
will find it where the railroad ain't.
:09:54
Then he'll send for me
and a few more jackasses
:09:57
to bring in his grub and pack out his ore!
:10:00
Them crazy miners!
:10:02
Look at the waste of that good machinery.
:10:04
Two miles of cable and buckets to go with it.
:10:06
Last week they up and left the whole thing!
:10:09
Did the vein pinch out
or did they hit low grade?
:10:11
They didn't hit nothing but blue sky.
:10:15
Uh-huh.
:10:16
- This was mighty fine coffee, Mrs...
- Miss Vittles.
:10:20
Miss Vittles. I sure appreciate it.
:10:23
- I got a long ride ahead of me.
- You heading for Junction City too?
:10:26
Yes, ma'am. But I'm kind of in a hurry.
:10:30
I ain't looking for company.
Ten jackasses in a bunch is enough.
:10:34
- I can save you a trip round the mountain.
- How's that?
:10:37
Like I told you, the boys hit a good vein,
followed it through the mountain.
:10:41
Last week they busted out on the far side
and there wasn't nothing there but blue sky.
:10:45
Makes a mighty fine short cut into town.
:10:48
- It sure does.
- Still think I'm crazy?
:10:52
- I think you're real pretty.
- Ah!
:10:54
- You going to spend time in these hills?
- Yes, ma'am.
:10:58
When snow comes
you're gonna need a woman.
