There is gold in those hills: HAS of hands picking up gold nuggets from pan. Cut to ramshackle log cabins in Barkerville, BC, and to a placer mining facility in the hills. Various shots of powerful hoses spraying hillsides with water, washing away topsoil to reveal underlying gold-bearing strata of sand and bedrock. Shot of water flowing down into sluice carrying gold-bearing sand with it. Man is shown scooping up the sand. Shots of man panning for gold.
