Old Ab Jones in mining camp drama ends with aid
In a 1850s Sierra mining camp, miners threaten Ab Jones over rumors of stealing ore after he begs to send money home for his ailing wife. Rather than drive him away, they uncover his plight, raise funds, and send him to Frisco with doctor help. The tale ends with the group admitting their misjudgment and aiding the needy pair.
