The Mine on the Yukon (1912) Online

Mr. Black died in the wilds of the Yukon district while searching for gold and left a wife and daughter in straitened circumstances. One day the widow receives a letter from one of her husband's former companions stating that he died without leaving anything of value. The mine he owned and worked is looked upon as worthless and can hardly be considered an asset. Mrs. Black, however, has not lost faith in her deceased husband's judgment and putting her daughter in a boarding school, she manages to scrape together enough money to make the journey. Her arrival at the camp creates a sensation and she is duly installed in her husband's cabin and then escorted to his mine. Here she engages several men to work the abandoned mine. Her small supply of money soon dwindles. The men she has employed leave in disgust and she decides to work the mine herself. The men in camp ridicule her and it is only through the efforts of Bill Jones that she is left unmolested. Her hardships are finally rewarded...
