I was hoping this mine would be the saving of Whitaker City.” 5:27 · “Oh, and it could be, Gabby, if we could only get them all up here at once to look at it.

A man in a cowboy hat sits in a vehicle, while another scene shows three people standing together, one holding a paper. The transcript discusses a mine, transportation, and contacting individuals named John G. McMahon and Harold Prentiss.

“Dad was a great geologist and he knew this mine was worth putting his last breath and his last stand into.” 5:05 · “Now nobody will even bother to look at it.” 5:12 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
