The Mining Mystery

The gang take a trip through the California desert and breakdown in a ghost town
== Script ==
(We open on nighttime in Goldville, where we see a tall Caucasian male walking out of a mine, he has a big bushy gray beard, and dressed as a typical miner, we fade to the gang driving)
Flash:(OS)Gang, I'm loving our tour of the ghost towns around here.
(Cuts to the front seat)
Lyra:Me too. And we've already solved some crimes like the Spirit of Indian Springs, it was a crooked tour guide trying to drum up business, the Lonesome Ledge Lurcher was a gold thief, the Roan River Runner was a smuggler trying to get stuff out of the country.
Bulk:Yeah and I like it too that we got a tour of some ghost towns. It's awesome.
Sandalwood:Our next stop is Goldville. They say that the place is haunted by the Phantom Miner.
(Cuts to Timber, Spike, Snips, Snails and Fluttershy in the back)
Timber, Spike, Snips, Snails and Fluttershy:Phantom Miner?!
Fluttershy:What do we do now?
(Cuts to the van, the tire pops and the van stops)
Sci-Twi:(OS)What happened? Why are we stopping Flash?
(Cuts to the gang)
Flash:Simple Twilight, a flat tire.
(We fade to the gang looking at the damage on their front left tire)
Aria:It's only the one tire, we'll fix that in no time.
Adagio:Maybe we should find a place to stay for the night.
(An old man comes to them)
Hank:What're you kids doin here?
Flash:We broke down sir.
(Cuts to closeup of him)
Hank:Name's Hank. I'm the rancher up at the Goldville Guest Ranch. Y'all are welcome to stay there for the night.
(Cuts to the gang)
Fluttershy:Thank you.
Gloriosa:Yeah, thanks.
Rarity:Sir if you don't mind me asking but why's the town deserted? This is suppose to be a tourist attraction.
(Cuts to Hank)
Hank:It's the Phantom Miner.
(Cuts to Timber)
Timber:Oh no, not that mentioning about the Phantom Miner again.
(Cuts back to scene)
Flash:What can you tell us about the Phantom Miner Hank?
Hank:A lot young feller. (Cuts to a closeup of him)He came to Goldville in 1849 and he won't rest till he finds the last vain of gold.
(Cuts to the gang)
Juniper:1849?
Wallflower:Wow, that's what I call an ancient miner.
Hank:(OS)That's for sure. (Cuts to him)And at night, ya can hear the mine moanin' callin' for the miner.
(Cuts to Fluttershy)
Fluttershy:Wow, that's the wildest tale I ever heard.
(Cuts to Spike)
Sci-Twi:(OS)Ridiculous, a ghostly miner.
(A vulture comes and makes a sound scaring Spike)
Spike:Yipes! The Phantom Miner!
(Leaps to Timber and we cut to Timber holding Spike)
Timber:It's only a vulture ya scaredy cat.
Spike:Scaredy cat?
(Makes dog sounds and we cut back to scene)
Flash:Well whatever it is that's scaring the tourists, we better investigate.
(We fade to the gang waking around)
Sonata:Wonder what it's like on a Saturday night.
Gloriosa:Boy. what a spooky old street.
(Cuts to a building where the miner is seen in it and disappears when the lightning flashes and we cut to the gang, Twilight stops them)
Sci-Twi:Hold it. (Cuts to an old mining lantern)This could be a clue. (Picks it up and we cut back to scene) This old lantern has a glowing image to it.
Sunset:So? It's got a burning light in it.
Micro Chips:I don't think that's what she means Sunset, I think she means that there some kind of hologram in the lantern.
Sci-Twi:That's exactly what I mean.
Sandalwood:If you say it's a clue Twi then I agree.
Flash:And maybe we can find some more clues.
Aria:You're right, let's check it out.
(We fade to the gang walking and they have flashlights with them and we cut to the inside of a saloon at the doors, the gang enter)
Sci-Twi:Jinkies, this is a real old time western saloon.
Applejack:Let's get some sarsaparillas.
(She and Apple Bloom walk over to the bar and we cut to them)
Applejack:Sarsaparilla barkeeper.
Apple Bloom:Two.
(Cuts to the hands of the Phantom Miner pushing some glasses to the Apple sisters and we cut back to them)
Apple Bloom:Huh? This is sarsaparilla?
Applejack:It's only some spiderwebs in glasses.(They turn to the bartender)Now listen you! We want a..... (Sees that it's the Phantom Miner, the grunts and we cut back to the sisters)It's the Phantom Miner!
Apple Bloom:Run!
(They run away and we cut to the others)
Applejack:We saw him, he was runnin' the bar.
Apple Bloom:An' he only gave us spiderwebs.
