based on the best-selling novel of the
same title by Clements Ripley, which
ran as a striai in the Cosmopolitan
magazine. It was made almost en-
tirely in the outdoors, on the actual
locale of the bitter conflict which it
portrays—in remote Trinity county,
California.
The cause of that ancient warfare
was this: . The hydraulic miners,
whose powerful streams of water
tore away the hillsides, claimed that
they had a right to search for gold
in any way they chose. But the muck
caused by their work (a combination
of mud and sand and stone, called
“slickens” poured over the fertile
fields and crops.
Conflict resulted.
Battles were
fought, many were killed. Finally,
a Federal court decision declared in
favor of the agriculturists and the
hydraulic miners had to quit their
operations.
