There's a group of scenes in this picture remarkable for its fresh and somewhat weird atmosphere. A man finds a skeleton with an arrow between its ribs and then sees a cabin and finds a treasure in it. To keep it all to himself he dastardly betrays his partner, perhaps to die in the desert; the man had married the girl he loved, but he is saved by some passing settlers and in time inherits the gold from his betrayer, whom he finds dead in the parched sands. It is a picture that will interest. Camera work good. - The Moving Picture World, March 7, 1914
