The touch of human nature in this picture, the impulse of love for a woman which sends men out to work and dare is so clearly depicted and its wonderful power is so strongly portrayed that one's sympathies are aroused and probably the most callous and indifferent person in the audience will sympathize with the young man in his struggle. And then when he does strike the pay streak, even though he was hurt in the blast, they all rejoice with him. It is one of those pictures possessing a subtle power that holds one's sympathies throughout the length. The scenes at the mine are realistic and there is a strength and earnestness about it all which appeals irresistibly to all alike. - The Moving Picture World, May 21, 1910
