SCOTTY'S MINE A MYTH.

ing for Suckers.

ing for Suckers.
Death Valley Scotty' told Los
Angeles grand jury the other day
that the president of a life insurance
company had grubstaked. him fol
years, and that a New York mining
engineer put up the $4,000 which
Scotty paid for the special train in
which the Death Valley man made his
spectacular trip across the CONT
nent several years ago.
Scotty also testified that he hac
tried to persuade the officers of the
Death Valley Scotty Gold Mining and
Developing company to locate few
mining claims in Death Valley, in or
der to give the mining scheme the ap;
pearance of genuineness, but alleged
that they refused to do so, saying il
was unnecessary.
Scotty told the grand jury that his
"hole in the ground down in DEATH
Valley" is a myth, which has been
used for years to fill the pockets OF
the promoters.
With the exception of F. G.. Good
win, the secretary of the company
and it's treasurer, Goldworthy, the Of
ficors of the mining concern. have an.
parently dropped from sight.
Scotty's confession contained this
other bit of interesting history:
He never located mine, either in
the Panimint range, the Funeral
mountains, or anywhere else; he new
er owned a mine, was not miner, his
only role was to make big splurge
to advertise himself as the spectacu'
lar and unbridled spendthrift while
all the time cunning schemers were
formulating plans upon which they
should profit by this show.
And all Scotty got, he says, was
an amount of money that could not
be dignifed by loftier title than a
hand out
Scotty said the most he ever had
at one time was $4,000, and that the
yellow complexioned roll he carried
was upholstered with one-dollar bills

popular mode of electioneering.
