RESTEPED HEAVY BOOM
After many hours of steady work

I a C. M. B. crew completed building
up and resteping the heavy boom
on the aft-mast of the SS Derblay,
which will now permit unloading
the last five big railway cars. The
absence of railroad cranes here,
due to flood conditions along the
northern divisions, has delayed the
big ship for two days, it is said.

‘DEATH VALLEY SCOTTY’
IS AGAIN ON THE HAIL
OF ANOTHER FORTUNE
‘Death Valley Scotty” famed aj
the man of mystery along about
1904-’06, is again taking the trail in
search of gold, or to resurrect his
famed secret mine in the Funeral
range of Nevada. Scotty now owns
a castle far out in the Nevada des
ert where it is possible to fry eggs
in the hot sand and water is wet
only on one side.
Scotty came into fame after
drifting into Los Angeles with a
quantity of fabulously rich ore,
chartered a special train and took
a number of cronies to New York
on an excursion and establishing
a record for cross-country travel.
From that date on thousands of
men have sought to discover the
source of Scotty’s wealth. Thus
far no one has penetrated the se
cret, altho there are many plaus
ible speculations.
Scotty was and is one of the
most picturesque characters of a
picturesque country, and repre
sents about the last remnant of
that age of romance when men of
the sun-scorched, trackless desert
like the Arabs ‘‘folded their tents
and stole silently away in the
night.”
Despite his periodical possession
of large sums of money Scotty nev
er altered the style of his raiment:
black trousers, leather boots, black
shirt, a flaming red necktie and a
Kentucky colonel sombrero. To add
to his picturesque ensemble he was
invariably accompanied by his fa
mous mule “Slim.”
There were those who alleged
:hat Scotty was supplied with the
special train by the Southern Pa
cific railroad as an advertisement,
>ut it could not be proven; neither
:ould the suggestion that his fabu
ously rich ore came out of Gold
ield, where miners just then were
•eaping a harvest out of “high
grading.”

finally persuaded Scotty to lead
them to the mine in the Funeral
range.
The party, led by “Slim,” reached
Wingate Pass, far up Death Val
ley and an inferno of heat and
drought. Suddenly Scotty rolled
from the back of “Slim” with a bul
let in his hip. Somebody was fir
ing from among the sun-scorched
rocks ahead. %
The party returned defeated.
It was never discovered by Nor
j man and King how the thing came
I about.
j In the year 1905, walking down
Brodaway was observed an individ
| ual wearing an overcoat with the
collar turned up and his hands
encased in suede gloves. It was
100 in the shade!
The cloaked individual was alter
nately buying all of the flowers of
fered by old women along the curb
and tossing handfuls of gold money
into the streeet. Two tens was the
| result of having learned to scram
ble for pennies as a kiddo.
The stranger was traced to the
Lankershim hotel, there it was
learned that he registered as “E.
Oscar Hart” (not our own Oscar
whose range is all over Alaska).
Learning that Scotty was at an
other hotel he was reached by tele
phone: “There is a man at the
Lankershim throwing away hand
fuls of gold; he says that Death
Valley Scotty is a piker.”
Within a few minutes Scotty
entered the Lankershim bar. From
the bulge just below his hips one
might have suspected that he had
affected those 10-gallon seat Eng
lish riding breeks. [
Walking up to the bar where Hart |
was buying wine for all who would f
drink, Scotty unloaded two rolls
of bills onto the bar. They were
lathed and plastered with notes of
$1,000 denomination.
“You’re cutting into my dig- i
gings, trying to jump my claim,” i
said Scotty. “I’m the chuckwalla
{desert lizzard) of this range. Here (
is $30,000; we’ll spend it for wine, *
ter it up, thrown it into the street 1
Qi give it to the widows and or- *
phans. It’s your bet.”
that time a friend importuned c
Hart to go to his room.
It developed that Hart was re
puted to have sold a mine in Mex
ico for $1,300,000 and was only cel
ebrating. ^
When asked the source of his r
money Scotty would smile and re- I
Ply: “Ain’t it funny; I got ’em all f
guessing, it comes from Death a
Valley. t
They were the days before roads
and other conveniences for desert
travel were available, and when a
man gambled with death at every 1
mile, when poisoned springs lured i

BETTER TIMES ARE COMING
Don’t be Discouraged!
Don’t lose the will to win .... don’t join the pessimists who
see naught but disaster ahead—
During a previous depression, the government had to is
sue paper “Clearing House Certificates” as a substitute for
money. Conditions were just as bad, only we have forgotten.
Prosperity has always followed bad times—this is one of the
laws of business cycles.
Now is the time to substitute the word “Reconstruction” for
“depression.”
Don’t be discouraged. Lend a hand to reestablish confidence.
America will see this through and emerge victorious.
Better times are coming!
