All the time “Scotty” refused to drop the slightest hint about the location of the fabulous mine. Nothing was known except that he disappeared in the desert, came back with his ie gold, “blew himself” for a riotous good time, then did all over again. At length “Scotty” was incorporated, capitalized and put in the market. He sold like hot cakes. But luck turned “Scotty” received $25,000 one day, was sued for a doctor's bill of $1,000, couldn't explain what he had done with his latest “roll” (which he really never got), was jailed for con- tempt and then—the mine was discovered.
