LETTER FEsONIKINGMAN.

issue What has become or our h1nplnan correspondent suggests to me the idea of sending you few items from this burg, and recognizing the extraordinary ability of your former correspondents, trust you will overlook the shortcomings of the un- dersigned, who, being recent importation and tenderfoot does not feel like undertak- ing the herculean task of keeping you post ed on the events daily transpiring i'll this wide-awake and go-ahead young city, and as some will have it, ''The future metropolis of Mohave county.'' In commercial sense We are indeed the metropolis; politi- caly we are not as full of aspirations as some of our nsighbors who think they hold the people and the county seat in the palm of their hand.

We see one hundred loads of ore day come into Kingman; we would like to see ten thousand miners at work in this di1> >.rict and which we expect to see in less than a year. We don't want county office, par tioularly the office of ohairmayl of the Board of Supervisors or County Treasurer; we don't want to boil over, froth at the mouth, and snap and bark at our brother officers.
