three men to be added were picked
nom among the progressives who op-
posed the denomination of president
Taft at Chicago, but who are still with
in the Republican fold. An effort will
be made to get men of prominence in
the progressive wing to take these
places, and leaders here expressed the
belief that il would be successful.
According to the reports, no Fro
gressives have been selected, but it is
possible that chairman Hilles of the
national committee will discuss names
with Carmi y Thompson, secretary to
president Taft, soon. Mr. Thompson left
last night and will return to Washing

sey Pregressives, in mass convention,
today determined to put in the field
for the November election a complete
Progressive ticket, but are still unde-
cided as 20 the method by which this
ticket should be nominated.
The executive committee Of the
Roosevelt state organization met be-
fore the convention assembled. A mi
nority that opposed an absolute break
from the old Republican organization
prevailed so far that the committee
decided against any declaration for the
immediate establishment of new
party This course. it was said, op-
posed the view Of Col. Roosevelt, whose
personal representative attended the
meeting.
Fort Made Chairman.
Former governor John Franklin
Fort was unanimously chosen chairman
Of the resolutions committee. Mr. Fort
opposed the proposition that the pro-
gresives and regulars run the same
set of electors and let the voters eX-
press their preference as between Mr.
Taft and Col Roosevelt, which would
be binding on the electors.

DEATH OF NOTED MINING MAN.

James H. Kinkead, inventor of the
Kinkead mills, a process for treating
low-grade ores on the Comstock. and
one of the best-known mining men in
the West, dropped dead Sunday
morning in the Riverside Hotel, at
Reno. He was SO years old, a native
of Ohio. and for fifty years has lived
in California and Nevada.
Kinkead became famous in New
ada, when, acting as deputy sheriff,
he held up the Southern Pacific Rail-
road when 1t refused to pay its taxes
in Reno. Seeing that drastic action
would have to be taking, Kinkead
secured chains and without further
ado went to the depot and chained
the drive wheels of the locomotives
to the tracks, effectually tying up the
overland traffic. The railroad paid
its taxes under protest and Kinkead
removed the chains.
