For some weeks past va have beeu
repeatedly asked why this paper did
NOT take decided stand on the qu~s-
tiot Of the removal of the county
seat. To esch aud all We have All.
swered that we considered that Il
was a matter which concerned the
taxpayer aloi,s. and on winch tl,s
taxpayer should bs the one 10 vote
and express his opip,on. OoDsidsr-
ing the small amount Of tAxss We
pay, we did not deem il part Of o,,r
businsas TO- advise other sbd larger
taxpayers what thsy should do in q
question which coucerna them more
directly than ourselves, snd ~ no
arguments had been advanced by
any ono 10 favor Of the removal u
the county seat either 10 kingmsn or
blackberry that We could reply 10, or
no move made b, the people Of either
OF those plac's 70 procure its rsmnv
sl, we concluded that, under the cir
cuinstsnces we wonld not attempt TO
advise its removal from, or it's reten-
ton in Minsrsl Park. bnt rather
that the " ils matter sbonId be left
TO ,as ce-4aJn Of the people at large,
being fnlIy satisfied TO abide by the
decision Of the majority whatever Il
might be. and whatever financial
effect IN might have ou ourselves
individually.
A few interested parties in tho
town Of Kingmsn have seen ft to
sa.e Published smsll pamphlet sn
which the claims and advantages 10
be derived from the removal Of tue
county seat 10 that place are suppos-
cd to be set forth A copy of this
weak production. winch found its
way to this Office some days before
It's projectors intended it should. bis
forced rs to recede from our formar
poe:!iop IN this Hatter, and IN justice
70 the town Of Mineral Park =. the
Board Of Supervisors and the tax
payers ct large, has compelled us Ia
review the arguments advanced In
The pamphlet and to show where
In they are far fetched and in many
places absolutely false.
The first argument advanced in the
pamphlet referred to il ss follows: 3
It il not necessary TO say further.
than that il IL within the knowledge
OF each voter and taxpayer Of this!
count. that our county seat ID with
ont doubt located in the most out
lying town We have or eysp rettl,-l
went, unless il be PstteTson's WeliA
or Quail Springs. II Is also twenty
miles distant from railroad Or tsls
graph station, which fact alone do
lays 10 considerable extent the PROMPT.
.i,spatch Of businsss, ss well ii il q
matter Of serions loss Of time TO men;
anxious TO reach the county seat and
return to business. wherever situated,
in any sessonable time. III addition
10 this are The various little facts of
poor accommodation DC, &c."<
Inreply 70 the above we have
simply TO say that II 10 upqusliAedlyI
ana absolutely false. Tha. the geo.
graphical center Of the county would
be $50, about twelve miles north of
Mineral Park, while kiDgman is
twenty miles still further TO the
,soutb. As TO little facts about poor
sccommodation.&c it is well known 10
every one of M that the town ef
Mineral Park IL the only one 10 the
county possessing q good hotel and
other accommodations in proportion.
Bnt these q,iestiopsof accommodation
&c. are too puerile 70 be thought Of
in'this connection. ~
The srgumeDt is sdysoeed that tbe
various mining camps in the neigh,
borhood Ct the prsssns county set.t
derive all Of their supplies fro,n
Kingmsn. This M also false 10 every
respect, as al our miners who
purchase from the stores IN Mineral
Park snd Stockton Hill we'll know ;snd
