Mohave County miner., 1912-06-01
Democratic Primaries.

county boiled light vote, the voters realizing that there was no real fight for any of the nominations. Champ Clark was the favorite for presidential preferment, only he and Woodrow Wilson's name having place on the ballot. The vote stood about five to one in favor of Clark. For delegate to the National convention E. F. Thompson received the full vote of the democrats of Mohave and Yavapai county, the vote being about 1000. Reese M. Ling for national committees man, got large majority over Eugene Brady O'Neil in both Mohave and Yavapai, and it is understood has carried the state.
 The vote was light, there being no actual fight for the places and also owing to the fact that many people thought their names had to be upon the great register before they could cast their ballot.
 Mohave county feels elated over the fact that its first candidate has been selected to represent the democratic party in the national convention and that E. F, Thompson, one of the staunchest workers in the party was the man selected.
 w. w Gates and wife came in from Wallapai Valley, near Wallapai, where they have zen living the past month or two, Mir. Gates being engay. ed in drilling the deep well for King man and Redlands people. In attempt. ing to shove the Casing between the 800 and 600 the lower part of the cas- ing buckled and it will be some time before it can be reamed out to allow a smaller casing to be put down. This is the wall in which water was struck at depth of 600 feet, but as the cas. ing was not down to the hard pan above the water it is thought that it arose sufficiently in the well to reach the loose soil and run off, Owinv uD the fact that the water stratuuisl xNs covered by hardpan the impression is that it should naturally rise quite a distance from that level.
 M. G. Wagner has gone to Los Angeles, where he will invest in sev. eral new cars. A large truck and one snall truck will be bought. as well as two seven passenger Garfords. The trucks will probably be White gas cars, that class of car having given the best satisfaction here. Mr. Wagner has been compelled to get larger truck to handle the business between this place and Gold Road and Oatman, the trade with those points having nearly doubled in the past year. He has in operation two ton truck, but thls truck is inadequate to the demands. Klngman is becoming one of the great. est patrons of automobiles in the state and it is probable that the demand for autimobile livery will grow day by day.
 The work of the Santa Fe to prevent the further encroachment of the Colo rado River on the lowlands at Needles has been aided materially by the river rising to considerable night and swinging the current to the Arizona side of that great stream. It is also understood that the mattrassing of the banks and the dumping of carloads of stone into the river has had no ap- preciable effect on the cutting of the banks, although the cutting has sub- sided, owing to the pressure of the rising waters. The damage caused by the high water is considerable, as it has caused the removal of many of the Indian stick houses and large nun Der of the houses of the white inhabi- tants of the flats.
 Jerome Booth and E. w. Norton came up from Needles yesterday and will do some work in the way of organ. izing the T. B. B. Herd of the Order of Moose. The boys are we'll known in Needles and Kingman and we pre- dict that they will succeed in their mission. We have long known Jerome Booth and have one of the best stories Tn the world on him, but as he is to be guest of the town for few days we
