Dr. Mendez on scotty's Diary.

DR.. Rafael Y. Mendez, the Venezue-
Ian mining man who found the diary in
a cave thirty miles below Greenwater,
on the border of Death Valley, re-
ported to nave been kept by Scotty and
covering a period of two years, is IN
Reno looking after water rights IN
which he is interested in Southern Ne
vada.
DR.. Mendez, who is a former citizen
of Spain and a man of considerable
education, has the diary in his posses
sion along with several other souvenirs
which he took from Scotty's cave. He
tells an interesting story and there is
no doubt that he found Scotty's quar-
tiers. The diary shows the name of
Scotty in several places, tells of his
trips to Chicago, Ne wYork and else
where and gives the amounts that he
spent. 1t also gives proceeds from his
ore finds for the past two years, but
not in full.
DIR. Mendez has lived in the west for
a number of years and is a thorough
miner. He talks frankly about the
find he made, but regrets the notoriety
given him by several sensational news
papers. He says the spot where the
cave is located is almost inaccessible
and is in a highly mineralized zone.
