A mining deal of considerable importance was made during the
present week b.y the terms of which Arthur A. Shonbeck, the Otter
merchant, becomes the owner of a two-thirds interest in the mining
properties on Otter creek belonging to the estate of the late J. D.
Schwartz- The transfer was made by Lee Schartz, son of the de
ceased pioneer, as the representative of himself and brothers and
sisters—five in number- who reside in the States.
The consideration is $30,Q00-of which $15,000 is cash in hand,
the balance due in September, 1914.
The Schwartz holdings include some of the best ground on
Otter creek. Riley & Stetzer and L. N. Ellis are at present oper
ating on some of the gronnd. _

The installation of the new lock boxes by Postmaster Thurston
in the postoflice has not only served to beautify and modernize the
local office, but is tilting a want with the patrons. These new lock
boxes are proving their value and worth as was shown in the effi
cient manner in which the newly-arrived mail is being handled,
greatly to the convenience of those fortunate enough to own a lock
box. It is plainly to be seen that the patrons are not the only
favored ones, as the new equipment greatly facilitates mail distri
bution.
The new lock boxes are the very latest achievement of inven
tive skill. Each box lias an individual combination, no two alike,
and are the acme of perfection and simplicity. The lock scheme is
similar to that of a safe, only much more simple, and does entirely
away with the old style lock and-key system with its drawbacks.
With the new combination lock boxes you need no key.
Mr. Thurston is certainly to be complimented in his efforts to
improve the efficiency of his office, and the equipment has helped
to improve the general neat and tidy appearance of the postoffice.
