SPECIAL DlSPATCb ~ The GALL.
SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. THE To-
cation of the long-sought ''Scotty" mine
has been disclosed.
The Death Va4iey mystery, Walter
Scott, filed his first location notice to-
day, though he had been supposed to
be the possessor of the richest mine
in the country for two years and a
half. The mine is a placer property,
and its location shows shrewdness of
the miner; for while he had claims on
the east side of Death Valley, In the
Funeral range of mountains, his real
source of wealth was on the west side,
in the Panamint range
The location notice was forwarded
from Chicago to the County Recorder
by A. NJ Johnson, Scotty's partner.

and minutes. 1t is close to a willow
tree, at the foot of which is a bub
bling spring From the center monu-
ment the Telescope peak bears 30 de-
grees 10 minutes west and from the
center monument Willow Mountain
peak bears north 10 degrees, distant
ten miles.
The mine lies in an isolated district.

dreds of miners who have sought it.
''Scotty" is at present at Greenwater,
on the desert, and has as much money
as ever.

Causes Arrest of Her Son
Because He Insists on
Marrying Pretty Girl
CUPID'S PLANS AWRY

OAKLAND, Jan. 7.-@Rather than see
my son the husband of that girl, 1
would see him In his grave, and that
Is the reason that I had him arrested,
not so much because he had threatened
the lives of his brother and myself as
to keep him from accompanying Mrs.
Mccain and her pretty daughter TO
San Francisco"
Such was the statement tonight OF
Mrs. E ]. Uniack, who lives at SIS
Seventeenth street. who a few moments
before had caused the arrest of her
son. Al II. Uniack, an employee or the
Tubbs Cordage Company, on a charge
of disturbing the peace. Mrs. Uniack
declared that because she had refused
TO give her consent to the marriage or
her son and Miss Ruby Mccain, whose
home is at 545 Seventh avenue in San
Francisco. the young woman and
her mother. who visited the Uniack
home tonight. had melted the wrath OF
the son against his mother until in
rage he had threatened his parents
life.
According to Mrs Uniack her SON.
who is only IS years old, met
Miss Mccain for the first time three
weeks ago and without the consent OF
his mother became engaged to her.
Miss Mccain accompanied by her
mother called on Mrs. Uniack this

Mrs Uniack requested the girl and
her mother to leave the house. Miss
Mccain retorting that If she were
man she would not see the girl she
was engaged to treated so. Then 1t
was that the young man created the
disturbance which resulted In his ar
rest but his mother says that she in
voked the aid of the law not so much

Coal we will have even if we have
to fight for it," was the battle cry
sounded by the members Of the board.
BY tomorrow morning not a child in
the city attending school Will suffer
for the want of fuel"
OTHER DEPARTMENTS SUPPLIED
1t was known to the school directors
that Thomas Morton, the coal dealer
who has the contract for supplying all
city departments save the schools, has
been able to fill all his contracts save
in a few minor instances, and when
he could not secure coal enough to
supply an immediate want he substi-
tuted wood and kept the spirit of his
agreement with the city, allowing no
branch to suffer on his account Nor
ton supplies the jails hospitals. public
buildings and the Almshouse with fuel
at prices ranging from SO to $3.50 a
ton. L. Brizzolara & Son, the con-
tractors for the School Department. re-
ceive 1914 a ton. In discussing the
coal famine existing in the schools
Morton said last night:
Il have not failed in my contract
with the city, though in some instances
I have had to supply wood to tide over
temporary shortages. l could have
done as other contractors do and sold
what coal I had to private consumers
for twice what the city pays, but I
kept to the terms of my contract, and
Brizzolara should have been able to
have done the same"
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1907-01-08

in the afternoon that 160 tons of coal
were available and would be delivered
to Brizzolara & Son. In fact, the fuel
trust strongly intimated that Brizzo
lara & Son had not been dealing fairly
with the public. The educators were
informed that the man who had the
fuel contract had received 2SO tons of
coal during the last month and that if
the schools were not provided it was
his fault.
This information put an entirely diff
ferent complexion on the matter" said
School Director Boyle I'm fact If
that be true the harsh measure the
board was about to adopt would do
the Western Fuel Company an injustice.
Our records show that Brizzolara &
Son only delivered forty tons of coal
to us. OF course, all of the coal that
firm receives would not go to the
schools. but if ESQ tons were received
the School Department which has a
binding contract, should have been sup
piled Owing to the advance in the
price of coal 1 can well understand how
Brizzolara & Son would like to have
the original contract abrogated, but
the board is not willing at the present
to allow the non-fulfllment of the fuel
contract.
CALLS 1T AN OUTRAGE
ct is an outrage that for a few
pounds of coal the school children
should be dismissed. ] think the re-
sponsibility for such state of af-
fairs should be brought home to the
guilty parties and that they should be
made to suffer-
School Director Oliver said:
There has never been such an out
rageous condition in the history of San
Francisco schools. Some one who is
consumed with greed has attempted to
make the school children suffer that
he might.profit thereby. The Board of
Education decided to bring an end to
the disgrace by the forcible seizure of
coal if necessary The offer of the
Western Fuel Company to give our
contractor 100 tons as rapidly as he
could haul it away puts a different
complexion on the matter and 1t will
not be necessary for the board to re-
sort to the extreme measures it con-
templated."

CALL ON POLICE

When the Board of Education saw
that other contractors were fulfilling
their agreements, Chief of Police Jere-
miah Oman was called into conference.
''Chief," said Director Oliver. there is
hardly a pound of coal in all the
schools of this city. Three entire
schools have been dismissed on account
Of the extreme cold. More schools will
be dismissed before the day is out. It
is UP to the Board of Education to see
that each school shall have a few
pounds of coal to heat the rooms. The
western Fuel Company has just re-
ceived 10000 tons of coal by ship. It's
bunkers are full. yet it says that it
cannot supply coal to the schools be-

MEN SCARCE ON RIPARIA LINE
Postmaster Wilson of Silrott Looks
for Big Fruit Crop.

There is a great scarcity of men on
the Riparia extension of the Northern
Pacific road, according to Cliff M.
Wilson, postmaster of Si1cott, who
passed through the city last evening
enroute to Kendrick
Mr.. Wilson says the company has
not more than half the men it could
use, and the result is that the work
is not progressing as rapidly as 1t
might The road has about a months
heavy work at Granite Point, where
blasting has to be done. Mr.. Wilson
expects to see the entire road graded
within the next two months.
The prospects for a bumper fruit
crop in that section Of the Inland EN-
pire are fiattering, according to Mr..
Wilson.
