BELIEVES ''SCOTTY"'
HAS BONANZA.

GOLDFIELD, Sept. 1S.-That there is
a mine in Death Valley from which
Walter Scott. otherwise .Scotty," the
cowboy of the Funerals, obtains the
gold which he tosses about, so lavishly,
has been demonstrated to the salts
faction of DR.. Rafael Tnchaupse of
Venezuela. That Scotty has concealed
his bonanza has also impressed this
traveller from the South American re-
public
Ynchaupse has just returned from
trip into that region literally loaded
down with rich specimens of gold and
copper rock which he brought from
near the hibernating place of the ec-
centric cowboy.
To prove that he has made no mis-
take about the discovery of the lair
of the master of the trick mule, Slim"
the doctor brought with him a memoir
andum book full of the notations of
the vaquero who hires special trains
and then argues with hackmen over a
suspected overcharge. The notations
evidently in the handwriting of Scotty
tell Of money spent for transportation
$4,000 at a clatter; of whisky bills
that foot up into four figures; OF the
cost of treating, ore on various dates,
and of the value of the rock taken
from the ground.
Scotty is evidently quite methodical
and very careless both at one and the
same time, if such a character can be
understood
DIR. Ynchauspe did not find the cow
boys mine, but he did find. In a cave
where the book was deposited, a quan-
tity of powder and fuse. and he found
that every halfbreed in the country
was armed with rife and revolver The
prospectors, too, go armed; and when
asked II they feared Scotty they one
and all replied: Not Scotty, but the
Indians he has armed"
1t is generally supposed in that for
bidding section that these halfbreeds
are employed by the cowboy to watch
his possessions and on occasions to take
the rich rock from the ground as he
may need ii.
The doctor says that it Is the gross
est error to state that there is no
precious metal in the section which
Scotty frequents. He deems it the
richest section he has ever visited. and
he has been from the placers OF the
Klondike to the rich diggings of Ven
ezuela and the Golcondas of the An
des
Ynchaupse describes the country as
exceedingly rough and difficult of ac-
cess, making a fit companion place to
the desert of Death Valley, but asserts
at the same time that the famous cop
per camps OF the world would look
like the proverbial thirty cents when
compared with 1t after the slightest
development had been done. He has
located ground that he hopes will add
rappreciab1y to his income. but does not
want sight lost of the fact that Scotty's
ground is in all probability of the bo-
nanza variety and that Scottys wealth
is no myth.

MANY LIVES LOST
IN THE FLOODS.

Ell PAso, Texas, Sept. 1s.-A
Herald dispatch from Guadalajara
states that the correspondent of the
Jalisco Times at Mazatlan has wired
his paper as follows:
"Fifty-one persons were drowned in
the recent floods In Santiago, Ixuintla
and the adjacent districts in the Terri
tory of Topic. The bodies, it is stated.
were taken from the river.
During the flood many persons took
refuge in trees, remaining there until
boats were sent to their rescue 1t is
reported that 500 people are homeless.
Widespread damage has resulted
from the inundation of Sinaloa. Several
river towns have been partially de-
stroyed, thousands of cattle drowned
and crops in many sections ruined.
"A report from ALONE. one of the
towns situated near the mouth of the
Fuerte River, states that there have
been many deaths there from malaria
fever"

HINTS POISONING
Of TREPOFF.

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept 1s.-The
Russian Banner, the reactionary organ
under whose encouragement the coun-
ter-terrorist organization, which is
charged with the murder of ex-Deputy
Hertzenstein last July, was founded, is
trying to establish in the death of Cen
eral Trepoff another case of venge-
ance. The paper intimates that the
late commandant of the imperial palace
was poisoned. Jews here are linking
the name of ex-Premier Count Witte
with this intimation. Count Witte is
more hated by the reactionaries than
by the revolutionists.
Prefect Won der Launity has sum-
moned the editor of the Russian Ban
ner TO his office and warned him that
the paper must be more moderate in its
tone.
Disheartened at the capture of their
principal leaders, of whom Vladimir
Mazuri and a number of others have
been executed, the Flying Group
of the revolutionists, which seeded
from the parent organization last win
ter and which has been responsible
for almost all the important assassina-
tions and robberies since the convoca-
tion of Parliament, has voted to re-
turn to the fold and submit to the or
ders of the central committee. This
step means certain regulation of
terroristic activity, because sentences
which formerly were passed and put
into execution by this irresponsible
little group of scarcely 100 men here
after VIII have to be approved by the
central committee.
Members Of the Flying Group" are
that they have had traitor
in their ranks, because of the arrest
within the past fortnight of over half
their number in various parts of Rus
sia could have been brought about only
by the possession of inside informa-
tion. They suspect Belenzoff, the lead
er of the band which committed the
bank robbery in Moscow last March,
and who made such a marvellous es-
cape from his captors while being
brought back to Russia from Switzer-
land This remarkable escape is best
explained by the connivance OF the po-
lice 1t is rumored that Belenzon is in
close hiding at the quarters of the Mos
COW secret police.

FIRM Is CHARGED WITH
PIRACY OF RIVALS LABELS
BOttIers' Protective Association Sues
to Prevent Use of ReceptacIcs by
Mason Soda Works.

Suit to prevent the use of bottles
and cases bearing a manufacturer S
label by firms other than those origin
ally using them was filed yesterday by
the Bottlers Protective Association
and Isaac H. Splro against the Mason
Soda Works.
Spiro appears in the case as a repre-
sentative of the ninety or more firms
that compose the association. These
firms each have a distinct mark or
sign, which appears on all bottles and
cases containing their goods 1t is
claimed that the Mason Soda Works
has made 1t a habit to collect these
reeeptacles from customers after the
contents have been used and has re-
filled them with goods Of Mason manu-
facture.
A temporary restraining order and
injunction is asked to protect the re-
ceptacles bearing the labels of manu-
facturers.

TOO MANY POLICE JUDGES
SPOIL OFFICIAL RECORDS
One FOrfefts Bail, Another Orders II
Returned and TrI asurer's Books
Are I'm a TangIe.

Auditor Horton and several other
city and county department officials
yesterday held an informal meeting to
discuss the trouble that has arisen
over the accounting of $500 in cash
bail in ifty-two Chinese gambling
cases. over which both Police Judge
Shortall and Police Judge Mogan
claimed jurisdiction in the Police
Court. Judge Shortall declared, the bail
forfeited and later transferred the
cases to Judge Mogan, who dismissed
them and ordered the Treasurer to re-
fund the money.
The refund was made before the or
der Of forfeiture was received and the
Treasurers books consequently failed
to correspond with Judge ShortalPs
account. 1t is probable that a formal
order superseding the order of for
feiture will be given the Treasurer in
order that his books may be balanced,
but no definite action was taken yes
terday.

Tonsorial treatment is to be no
longer regarded simply as a necessity
of mans life. 1t has risen to the dig
nifty of a luxury and will be maintained
as such if the local journeymen BARRIERS

that was announced in big letters in
