  Gene Autry : Hold on now, Jim...

  Jim Hedge : I don't haveta. I been over this country hundreds of times.

  Larry Evans : No silver?

  Jim Hedge : Welll, might find enough to plate a watch.

  Gene Autry : You sure there's nothing here?

  Jim Hedge : Are you crazy in the head? I've been prospecting these parts ever since the Apaches were takin' potshots at everything that was movin'...

  [chuckles] 

  Jim Hedge : That is, everything but coyotes. It's bad luck to shoot your own relatives.
