able impression with the residents OF
this section, who hope that his stay here
will be OF long duration. The Apex
community regrets very much the de-
parture OF Mr.. Mountz, who has done so
much to forward the interests OF the
Pine creek district, but other business
matters are 30 pressing he is unable to
give the attention he would like to the
Mackey, therefore he has placed in
charge Mr.. Tilton. Mr.. Mountz will in
no way neglect the Pine Creek district,
as he is very heavily interested in the
Mackey and all Of its holdings, as we'll as
the Yellow Medicine property, in which
he has the utmost faith. The only diff
ference will be that Mr.. Mountz will not
be able to spend as much time here as
he desires. At any rate we will be
pleased to see his smiling face among US
