HOW THE SOUTH
 NOMINATED LINCOLN

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 22.-How the South nominated Lincoln and other incidents not before ehronieled of the memorable convention of 1860 at Chicago, were told before the Ham, ilton Club in Chicago by Addison G. Proctor of St. Joseph, Mich, who is perhaps the only surviving member of that historical session. MT. Proc tor, who, at the age of q years, was a member of the Kansas. dele gation to the convention, depicted stormy scenes which took place in the old Briggs House, headquarters for many of the delegations. His relation of inside details which pre- eeded the balloting, surprised his hearers, when he declared that or ganization among the scattered op- position to the nomination of Will. jam H. Seward of New York and the ultimate selection of Lincoln was brought about by a stormy address made by a delegate from the South, Cassius M Clay of Kentucky
 "When we asked Greeley, How about MT. Lincoln, . said MT. Proc tor, Che replied, While MT. Lin coln is an adroit politician and a strong man in his own state, he lacks experience in public affairs, and in the present condition of the country, while we are drifting toward a crisis, I do not believe the ceountry will trust a man so lacking in exPeri- enee in national affairs ''
 The Seward factions strength was weak. and at the critical moment there came Cassius M. Clay and a party of thirty men of the fighting kind from border states.
 ''They impressed me as men moved by a feeling of intense purpose. We are on the eve of a great civil war, was about MT. Clay's first sentence. We are from the South. The South is preparing for war "

Delay of Month Caused By Severe Rain
 Storms
Old Residents AStounded At Immense Flow In
 Verde River
(From Saturdays Daily.)

After several weeks on the new electrical line of the Arizona Power company, between Jerome and Eos sil Creek M. V. Watson, general manager, returned to the city yester- day, and reports the work again un- der way, after 9 month of the most severe rain storms the country nas ever experienced, and a few days ago, at Edan's ranch, opposite Camp Verde, was reached. This place is eighteen miles from the plant on Eos sii Creek, or twenty-two miles from Jerome, the destination. About one and one-half miles of cables are be- ing laid daily, and it is expected connection with the United Verde will be made within the next thirty days
 In speaking of the heavy rains, and of tine Verde River, particular | ly, Mir Watson states that for near ly thirty days it was impossible for the workmen to make any progress with line work At three different times the river carried very heavy volume, and before it reeeded, ten days were passed in each instance. So heavy was the downpour in that watershed that the river rose five feet in less than ten minutes on one occasion, and this oeeasioned the em- ployes much discomfort as well as the suspension of line work. The oldest residents of that section were astounded at the long duration of the storm, and had never seen the river running such a body of water as was in evidence for over one month.
 The advent of the new power line to the Verde Valley, has created con siderable interest among the farm ing element, and seven pumping plants are to be installed on ele- vated lands. to irrigate fields that cannot be reached by the gravity flow of the various ditehes taken out of the river This will in- crease the productive acreage of the valley materially. in the lower sec tion, and in Upper Verde, it is ex- peeted, as many more plants will be installed In addition to the above service, it is probable that Camp Verde in a short time will have cleo trie lighting, and the Propelling of manufacturing devices from this source also.

OFFICE OPENED BY
 ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
Frora Wednesdays Dsiiy)


 The Associated Charities has been at work nearly a month and is get ting its work systematized. Several peedy cases have been investigated and relieved and others are under in vestigation. An office has been opened at POS West Gurley street. where the agent can be seen any day. A canvass for funds is being made, with good success, and will be continued until everyone has had sn opportunity to become a member by contributing one dollar or more.
 This plan of benevOlenee appeals especially to business men, who are constantly solicited for help in cases where they cannot investigate per sonally the worthiness of the claim ants. It is much better for them to make. a liberal contribution to tae Associated Charities and refer all appeals to them than to be handing out half dollars and dollars indis eriminately to all kinds of folks.
 Most men would rather toss out a quarter than to take time to investi- gate. Such gifts do nearly as much harm as good. The business men are contributing from five to fifty dol lars each, with a view of relieving themselves of such appeals. It will be easy to say ''I contribute to the Associated Charities. They will in- vestigate and help if you are de- serving"
 The Association has a room at it's office for storing and distributing clothing of all kinds. While you are thinking of it, make up a bundle and take it to their agent.

Hay cock grew out of his bringing whisky to his storee at Fredonia, last December, which the Indian agent stated was on a reserve of the  government. The liquor was stored in the residence of the accused, and after the lines were designated, it was found that the interests of Mir. Haycock were three miles without the reservation, hence the order dis missing the case.

FATHER OF OAKS IS HERE ID HELP HIM Says Infatuation For Woman Caused
 Downfall Until He Met Her, The Boy Was Good
 Citizen
(From Saturdays Daily

"My son was one of the brightest and best boys in the world until he met that woman,' was the dec laration made yesterday by W. J. Oaks. the father of Alexander A. Oaks, who lies in the county jail accused of the murder of his para mour, Georgie Brown, on last Sun day afternoon.
 The father of the prisoner is a man 70 years of age, and man of high standing in California. For several terms he was sheriff of San Luis Obispo county and was once U. S Marshal for the southern district of California. Despite his advanced years and though partially crippled with rheumatism, he did not hesitate for minute as to his paternal duty when he received a telegram from Sheriff Smith informing him that his son was involved as one of the principals in a tragedy.
 "Alexander,' he said to the Jour nal Miner epresentative, "was a barber by trade, and had a good business in San Luis Obispo. This woman came along from Wyoming and he became infatuated with her. They came down to my home at Piano Beach and I ordered her away, but the boy still elung to ner. He disposed of some property, left San Luis Obispo and that was the last I heard of him until I received the message the other day. That was about a year ago. Despite what he has done, l am his father, and I am here to do what I can to help him. saw him this morning in the jail, and," added the old man, proudly, Che is still game. I am going to re- main here a week, but can do noth- ing now, as the grand jury does not meet for several months. Then I viii return and help him battle for his life.'
 MT. Oaks, the father, is a gentle man of commanding presence, is a prominent and highly respected eiti- zen of California, and he deeply feels the disgrace of his erring son. He did not attempt to mitigate the crime except to explain that his son was sn exemplary citizen until he be- came enamored of the woman when she drifted into San Luis Obispo.

OAKS SUFFERING
 BUT HOPES TO RECOVER
From Wednesdays Daily>


 Providing unforeseen complications dc not set in, it is believed by at tendsnts at the county hospital that Alexander A. Oaks will recover from tte gunshOt wound inflicted by him. self after he killed Georgie Brown and wounded Fred Kimbro, Sunday afternoon. Oaks is able to walk and eonverses freely on all subjects ex- cept the identity of the woman whose lite he ended in a jealous rage. Whenever her name is mentioned he adroitly changes the conversation to some other subject. He admitted cnee that her name was Georgie Brown, that he believed at was not her true name, but that he knew no other name for her. When asked to give some information of her rel atives so that they could be noti- fled of her death, he avoided a di- rect answer, adding that he did not know anyone related to her.
 After receiving a telegram from his brother, residing in Los Angeles, yes terday, the contents of which he re- fused to make public, he said that he was a barber by occupation and had worked at his trade in San Fran cisco and a short time in Los An geles before coming here.
 He admits the wound in his head is giving him much pain at times, but is confident that he will re- cover.
 In the event of his survival he will be removed to the county jail to await trial for the murder of the woman whose identity he so sullenly refuses to disclose.
 Late last night it was learned that Oaks brother is expected from Los Angeles tomorrow. The body of the woman is being held at the RuHner undertaking establishment awaiting his arrival.
 An operation will be performed today on the arm of Fred Kimbro, who was shot by Oaks, to remove the bullet. Kimbro is in the Fort Whipple hospital. It is feared that his arm will be permanently dis sbled. In this event he will be discharged from the service.

EQUIPMENT FOR
 LOOKOUT MINE PURCHASED
CFrom Friday's Daily)


 Following the installation of a new ten horse power hoist purchased yes terday by Peter Laux for the Look out mine, operations on that prop erty will be resumed, with a view of placing it in the producing class as soon as possible. The main shaft, now l50 feet deep. will be sunk an additional 100 feet and the vein opened by drifts from that point. MT. Laux also intends to carry on exploration in the upper levels wi;le the shaft is being sunk and ship the product to the Humboldt and Needles smelters. Before sinking is started the shaft and other openings will be repaired while the water is being pumped out.
 The property is an extension of the Silver Belt mine, one of the ia nous white metal producers of the '7Os. It is owned by Mrs. Wiihei- nina Raible of this city and Philip Michler of McCabe. It was recently taken over under bond by Mir. Laux who is thoroughly familiar with the ground. having been identified with its development the last few years. It is located within two miles of the Humboldt shelter.

new constructed concentrating mill, during the last two months of the year. The total shipments since op-
 eratiOns were begun by the present management, three years ago, have aggregated 532 cars, containing 1S,OOO tons of ore and netting about s33O,- 900. In this same time there were mined about 5O,OOO tons of milling ore, averaging 30 per cent zine, which will supply the present 50 ton mill over three years, even if no more ore should be mined. In addition the mining has opened large areas of ground that are now blocked out for the stoping of more milling ore.
 The GolcOnda is one of the big gest zine producers in the country and has been without doubt the prin- cipal cause of the advent into the district of the United States Smelt- ing, Refining and Mining company, and the subsequent activity in the Sulphide Range. A little over three years ago the Goleonda, like dozens of other mines in the Cerbat Range, for length of thirty miles, was an alleged high grade mine long since ehlorided, and the ore in sight consid- cred too low grade to be worked at anything like a profit. Then came John Boyle, Jr., who knew zine, and who, with a little money and much perseverance proved that there is money in large bodies of low grade ores. He and the Goleonda made good, and that after the latter had been lying idle for twenty-two years. If there is such thing as a mine "coming back" then the Goleonda has certainly come, and in so doing it has brough the entire sulphide part of Mohave county with it, the best proof of which lies in the newly erected 800 ton eoneentrator at Needles, to which these mines are now shipping regularly.
 The latest addition of outside cap ital is that of company of Denver men, represented by c. W. Gibson, who has established camps in three different parts of the county, pre- paratory to doing considerable de- velopment work on number of promising claims. Work has already been begun on the property bonded of J. H. Doyle in the Cedar district, on the Lone Star at Mineral Park, and at Stockton Hill, on the Smith, Studley and SwOpe properties.
 San Francisco District.
 Perhaps a better evidence of the worth of the Tom Reed mine than its many remarkable shipments of gold bullion and the resultant monthly dividends may be seen in the Town Hall, Library and Recrea- tion Hall being built by that com pany for the people of Oatman. An institution of this kind is an innova- ton in the county and is generally regarded as further proof of the per manency of the district.
 Harry Clark, formerly foreman of the Tom Reed, has been placed in charge of the Chieftain property, nearby, and sinking is under way.
