SCOTTY NO LONGER
man OF MYSTERY

Death Valley Scotty has at last
solved the mystery of the origin
Of his sudden wealth which caused
his rise into fame several years ago
when he chartered special tram
and made a spectacular dash across
the continent. Scotty is under arrest
IN Los Angeles and is being investi-
gated by the grand jury there in con-
nection with the probing into the af-
tairs OF the Death Valley Scotty Gold
Mining 4 Development company.
recent issue OF the Los Angeles Times
has the following to say regarding
Scotty:
death Valley Scotty" told to the
grand jury today that A. M. Johnson,
president of the National Life In
suranee company of Chicago, has grub
staked him for years and that E.
Burt Gaylord, mining engineer Of
New York, who is said to have squan-
dered nearly two million dollars, put
up $4,000 which "Scotty' paid for
the special train in which the Death
Valley man made his spectacular trip
across the continent several years
ago.
This afternoon the grand jury is
questioning 'Scotty' to find out why
these men supplied him SO plentifully
with cash.
"Scotty" also testified that he had
tried to pursuade the officers of the
Death Valley Gold Mining & Develop
ment company to locate few mining
claims in Death valley in order to
give the mining scheme the appear
ance of genuineness, but alleged that
they refused to do so, saying it was
unnecessary. f. c. Goodwin, secre-
tary of the company, is before the
grand jury this afternoon with books
and records Of the company.

fore the investigating body in con-
fairs of the Death Valley Scotty
Gold Mining & Development company,
whose vice-president and secretary tes-
titled that they had paid $4,000 to
the Death valley man June / of this

NOTABLE ENGINEERING
ACHIEVEMENT OF ENGLAND

The new deepwater dock at im-
mingham, which was unoflicially open
ed for traffic on May 18th, is a notable
engineering achievement. On what
five years ago was dreary marshland,
what is possibly the deepest dock in
England has been constructed. Its
depth ranges from thirty to thirty FIVE
feet in tn dock basin, and the total
water space, exclusive of locks,
amounts to about forty.fve acres, the
full length of quayage being $500 feet,
while there is a large area of land
available for extension. The entrance
lock has length of $40 feet, breadth
of ninety feet, and depth ranging
from twentyseven and a half feet
low water spring tides to forty-seven
feet high water. About 3,500,000 cubic
yards of earth have been excavated
and used in raising the land around
i've feet above its original level. Two
long Jettles extend out on either side
OF the entrance, curving around mid.
way n order to run parallel to the
river One 1etty is intended as a land
ing place for passengers, and the 9TH
er is being used for the shipment of
bunker and cargo coal. From the
main dock extends large craving
dock. Several powerful cranes are
provided on the dock side, ana the coal
handling plant is comprehensive. There
are eight coal hoists, each served by
set of full railway sidngs, and each
capable of dealing with about 700
tons of coal per hour. Siding accom-
modation is provided for over IL, 600
ears, carrying, in all, ll5,000 to l74,-
600 tons of coal. For the grain trade
large granary has been erected at
the east end of the dock, while the
northwestern arm of the dock forms a
large timber pond, and light railway
and an electric railway system link
birmingham with Grimsbv and its is
hoped in time to carry the tramway
right round the dock estate. The dock
being close to an important industrial
and coal area, the proprietors (the
Great Central Railway company are
most hopeful as to its future.-Consu-
lar Report.

ADDITIONAL AUTO FOR GOLD
CIRCLE-GOLCONDA STAGE LINE

The auto stage service between
Golconda and Gold Circle is to be
vastly improved according to the
statement of f. NJ. Butler, represent
ative of James Boyle, owner of the
line, who arrived in Reno yesterday,
He says that the residents of Gold
Circle have a petition in to the post
Office department asking for a daily
mail service which will probably be
granted whereupon the stage will be
run daily instead of every other day
as at present.
Mr. Butler came to Reno looking
for suitable ear to put on the line,
and picked out. the Maxwell, sold by
the Durham Wainwright company.
He has taken a ivepassenger touring
car and leaves tomorrow for Goleonda
to put the machine in operation. He
believes that he has found the best
ear. for the business.
Mr.. Boyle has. an auto truck in
service on his line which will now be
used between Redhouse and Gold Cir
ele for express and freight exclusive

MAY CHANGE W.P.
LINE OVER SIERRAS

Plans are under consideration to
change the route of the Western Pa
cifie over the Sierras. 1t is proposed to
leave the present line at Keddie, Cali
fornia, running north and building
through Honey Lake and Indian val
leys, joining the old line again at
Trego, Nevada, short distance this
side of Gerlach This route would not
only be Is miles shorter than the old
line, but would be a much better grade
and would eliminate the Keddie, Chill
coot and Spring Garden tunnels, the
three longest on the line.
All stations between Kddie and
Trego would be abandoned, and new
terminal established, probably at
Amadee, California, 135 miles from
miles from Winnemucca. The new
route was probably conceived from the
burning of the Chilieoot tunnel a few
weeks ago. 1t is stated that the stones
on the inside of the tunnel are still so
hot that work is impossible, and that
to rebuild the bore would require the
best part of years time.

Ex- DICKERSON
MAY LEAVE NEVADA

The name of ID. S. Dickerson, as
editor and manager, was taken from
the editorial page of the Expositor
about three weeks ago, and that of
l.. G. Schwalenberg inserted in its
place. The governor is now in San
Diego, where he expects to locate, at
least temporarily. He still retains ex-
tensive interests in the Ely district,
but like so many other live wires he
finds it impossible to resist the temp
tation to mix up in the wonderful era
of development now going on in
southern California. 1t is not his in
tention to permanently absent himself
from Nevada, but should his ventures
in California be successful it is quite
probable that he may become citizen
OF that section.
The governor leaves many warm
friends and admirers in Nevada, and
not few personal and political en-
emies. For several years past he was
the most picturesque character in Ne
vada politics He is a man of strong
convictions and never hesitates to say
Just what he thought of measures and
men. AS governor of Nevada his ad-
ministration was honest throughout,
but some of his acts and appointments
were not approved by the people. He
strongly fought the deal by which the
state was robbed of a large amount OF
money under the contract to furnish
the prison with cells, which have nev-
er been used, and probably never will
be. AS governor he made some mis-
takes. as all governors do, but he was
never charged with grating.
The Record hopes that the governor
win grapple the bo m in California
with such a strong clutch that It
wi put him in the millionaire class

Disposes of Bryan at the Start.

AT the Democratic National conven-
ton, on the opening day, the delegates
evidently concluded to get rid of
Bryan at the outset. The "peerless
one, probably to show the conven.
ton who was boss, contested the com.
mittee' action in selecting Judge
Parker for the temporary chairman
ship, and nominated Kern, of Indiana.
The latter declined, and nominated
Bryan. On roll call the vote stood
Parker 90, Bryan 5l0, O'Gorman 3.
Hands Himself Huge Bouquet.
In making his speech nominating
Kern FOR temporary chairman, Bryan
called the conventions attention to
his Importance In the following words
" If any of you ask for my creden-
tials, u you inquire why 1, mere
delegate from one of the smaller
states, should present name and ask
you to accept it, / beg to tell you that
IN three campaigns 1 have been the
champion of the Democratic party g
principles and have received the votes
of six million Democrats. | remind
you that confidence reposed in a hu-
man being carries with it certain re-
sponsibilities -
The deledates evidently paid little
attention to the speech, for Bryan was
counted out In retaliation for his
defeat, he afterwards refused the
ehairmanship of the committee on res
olutions, thereby declining to write
the platform for his successful rivals.
May Join Roosevelt.
1t is considered very ..xely that,
finding himself without a party,
bryan may join forces with Roosevelt.
1T is not probable, however, that he
would consent to accept sece nd place
on the ticket, and should he enter the
movement it would undoubtedly be in
an effort to punish the party that
threw oil his yoke after having worn
1t for sixteen years. 1t remains to be
seen, howver, If there is single
party that can hold two such great
patriots as Roosevelt mad Bryan at one
time.
There seems to be danger that the
boat may be swamped, after all. Rob
ert Laf'ollette, the only remaining
honest man in the country, flushed
with his great victory at Chicago in
having received the votes of three
states, has been in consultation with
Bryan at Baltimor and "staked'' him
TO copy of the LaFollette platform.
Billy is said TO have made dash for
his room with the precious document
in his possession, but for what purpose
is not disclosed.
Hearst and Harrison Knocked Out.
In the credentials committee yester-
day the Roger Sullivan 20 delegates
from Chicago were seated by vote of
