Mel Ruick: Assayer Bates

Quotes 

• Jason McCord : [Sign in shop window: Closed today, Rich tomorrow]  I never told you any thing of the kind, Mr Bates. I told you there was a large fault where the three veins joined. If there is a motherlode, it's a long way down.

  Assayer Bates : But you did say there were three separated veins and the silver was high grade.

  Jason McCord : I also said that a few dozen men swinging pickaxes couldn't begin to get at it. It'll take experienced workers, heavy equipment, and even then it'll be a gamble.
