I suspect Timothy was a partner of Jim Turner in the Copper mining project. As such he would not be getting any payment until there was some profit to distribute.
Probably both he and JT were contributing capital to the partnership, and his operating expenses would have come out of that.
The fact that he seemed to be a bit "down at heel" may well be just his normal approach to living - not bothering to keep up appearances, rather than a sign of poverty.
