"That the interstate commerce COM
mission be expressly authorized to es-

at is our firm conviction that If q
law substantially embodying these es-
sential provisions for railway control
cannot by reason of adverse railway
influences be passed without unrea-
sonable delay the country will be
driven to utterly abolish private own
ership in railways and government
ownership will be the inevitable re-

Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-03

26th day of February, 1906, in the cit
rus fruit cases, gives to the railways
the exclusive control of routings of
freight and thereby. in effect, gives
legal sanction to freight pool, effected
by means of division of freight over
different lines.
"Our records show that during the
period the railroads controlled the
routing competition was eliminated
and our fruit was from two to six days
longer in transit than when we rout-
ed our shipments ourselves, causing
us losses by decay in hundred of in
stances of from 800 to $500 per car.
This decision Is the last of a series
of decisions by that court, in and by
which the entire control of commerce
and of rates has been denied to the in
terstate commerce commission, and the
public authorities, and vested in the
railways
by these decisions the present in
terstate commerce act has become q
tumble of meaningless words.
"The power of the railways in the
control and regulation of commerce Is
now equivalent to the limitless power
of taxation upon all the industries,
property and people of the country.
"Such construction Of the laws and
limitation of public rights in their To-
cal application to us, places us and our
business and property utterly at the
mercy of the railways.

Mr.. King thought that his protege was

Mr.. King thought that his protege was
"jollying" him.
Scott felt hurt that his manager
friend should not believe him, but said
nothing. When he returned from an
other trip to the mine he showed Mr..
King this photograph. which he had
taken with a camera which he always
carries when he makes his lonely trips.
Near the tub can be seen kettle
with which Scott carries water when
he wishes to take a cool plunge.
Slim" Scott's mule and favorite
companion on the trips to the mine, Is
responsible for this, as well as many
of his masters other comforts. On the
mules back this tub was conveyed for
more than 100 miles across the noun
tains and desert.
Nearly everybody now is convinced
that Scott really has a mine, but the
question that has been uppermost in
peoples minds Is as to how, when and
where he dlsposes of the product. The
ore is easily accessible and on account
of it's nature the pure gold can readily
be extracted by a cyanide process.
Just back of the pile of rocks In the
accompanying cut is where the cyanide
apparatus Is located. 1t is tWo-tank
affair and was taken across the coun-
try in sections by the pack mules.
Near the camp is good spring which
furnishes all of the water that is neces-
sary, and 1t is there that "Scotty
draws off the poisoned water and gets
the gold from the bottom of the tanks.
Scott never sells any of his gold in
the vicinity of the mines, as he Is
afraid there might be a possible chance
of expert mining men tracing their way
to the place if they should know the
exact nature of the ore that is OBJ
tanned.
Some of the ore has been disposed OF
in San Francisco. but most of 1T is
shipped to New Orleans. Philadelphia
and New York, where it is disposed of
by agents.
Scott shows some cleverness in never
receiving checks in payment for ore or
gold. He always receives his money
by express and in bills of large denomi-
ma ton.

California Exchange Adopts Resolu-

Resolutions were passed by the
board of directors Of the California
Fruit Growers exchange at meeting

These resolutions are the outcome of
the supreme court decision allowing

The growers claim that this will work
great harm to their interests.
The exchange represents more than
5000 citrus fruit growers, who annu-

OWNS GOLD MINE AND BATH TUE
Scotty Furnishes Snapshot Proof Of
These POSSESSIONS

No longer can there be any doubt in
the minds of the most skeptical that
"Scotty," the Death valley Croesus.
owns a gold mine, for herewith, for
the first time, is printed a reproduc-
tion of his camp.
This is the only picture of Scotty's
mine, or any part of it, in existence,
so far as anybody besides "Scotty'
knows, and another one like this can
net be reproduced, for the film has been
destroyed.
Before leaving for his last trip to the
desert Scott handed this picture to
Herald representative, who is a close
friend of his and divulged the facts
that are printed and others that the
writer Is not at liberty now to make
known.
"I defy anyone, whether | am dead or
alive" said Scotty few days ago, Ito

They may get me, but L don't think
they will, and even If they do they
can't find the mine where l get the

WALTER SCOTT
J IS HERE AGAIN
CALLS STORY IN AN EVENING
PAPER A FAKE
Declares differences Contained In 1t
Are Regarded as Absurd by Per-
sons Familiar With Des-
ert Conditions

Walter Scott, the we'll known
"Scotty" of Death valley fame, ar
rived in Los Angeles yeste. lay atter-
noon on the California limited. Inc
differences contained In an article pun
lished in an evening paper he declares
are absolutely false, and says the sen
sational story of the indignation OF the
citizens of Barstow is absolutely un-
founded and discredted by residents
of that town and citizens of Los An
geles who have occasion to visit Bar
stow.
The strongest argument in favor OF
"Scottys" denial of the authenticlty
of the story circulated yesterday Is
that miners who go into Death valley
90 not usually carry thousands OIL dol-
lars in money on their persons.
'In the first place, to what use could
miners put their money!" queried a
man in this city who is familiar with
conditions in Death valley. 1T simply
would be foolish to carry any money
into that region. No food supplies can
be bought there and the sale of a
mine could not be made legally on the
desert or in Death valley.
Murders Not Frequent
"The statements regarding the grea
number of murders in Death valley
are exaggerated. There are times when
the remains OF prOSpeCtorS are proushl
into Barstow and the mysterious dis
appearance of the men is thus ex-
planned. But death in most instances
is due to lack of food or water"
II have a gold mine, and it's rich,
declares "Scotty,' but / shall not dis
close the whereabouts of 1t for awhile
At the right time l shall let 1t be
known. But until then there Is nothing
to be said regarding it.
IT have gone so far as to allow some
of my friends to accompany me into
Death valley and have taken them to
many of my claims on Funeral noun
tain. These claims are all recorded
and it is an easy matter for skeptical
persons to look them up"
Engineers in His Wake
Every time Walter Scott comes to
this city he is followed up by mining
engineers, who claim the east as their
residence, and say they are detailed
b. prominent Smen of affairs TO look
into the quality of ore that comes from
that section of the country.

he was accompanied by d. E. Owen
