SAFE CRACKED

George Braueht e. Sons Grocery
store Is Burgiarized Last
Night-LeaVe No Clues
Especial to The Argus. }

AIedo, Nov 18.-Last night the
safe in the George Braucht & Son )
grocery store at Joy was blown by
burglars, who made a clean get
away with a trifie over $500.
The yeggmen had broken in the Ed
Bateman blacksmith shop and OBJ
tanned tools to gain an entrance in
the store and to pry the handle OF
the safe door where the charge OF
nitro glycerine was lodged.
The Braucht grocery store is To-
Gated at the west end of the row
of business houses at the north side
of Main street Entrance was made
into the store by rear door on. the
west side. The door was barred
on the inside but not very securely
and it is thought that a crowbar
could easily remove this obstacle.
Mr. Braucht stated this morning
that the burglars made something
over 500 in the haul. He has not
been able to find that any merchan-
disc is missing. At a late hour this
morning the sheriff's office had not
been notified.
The yeggmen, evidently profess
SIGNALS, made a clean getaway and
as far as can be learned left no
clues Whether the safe blowers
entered and left the town by auto
could not be ascertained.

COAL VALLEY
Mine MAY BE
CLOSED SOON
Eureka Mine Supply Said to be
Nearly Exhausted-Has En-
ployed Large Force.
Especial Correspondence

Coal Valley, Nov. 1S.-The Pryce
coal mine. located southwest of
town and known as the Eureka
mine, will probably cease opera
tons by the first of the year. as the
coal supply from that mine has
been exhausted. The miners are
now taking out the big pillars that
had been left to support the roof
as the entries were driven and the
rooms worked. The coal is of ex-
cellent quality and among the best
that has ever been taken out OF the
mine. The Eureka mine was OPEN
ed by J. J. Pryce & Sons and was
operated by them until the passing
of the senior member of the firm,
when the present owner, John NJ.
Pryce, purchased the shares of the
other members and became sole
owner. J. J. Pryce, the senior mem
Der, had operated different mines
in this vicinity, since the Coal VAL
ley Mining company ceased it's op-
erations here and opened up the
mines at Cable and Sherrard and
still later at MatherVflle, and have
been the means Of giving a large
force OF men employment for
huAADOA vi y col anu IuOd5A hOC d
railroad mine, large quantities of
coal have been hauled to the tri-
cities by wagons and auto trucks
With the closing of the mine that
has been in operation many years,
many will find a peculiar interest,
though the coal supply from this
vicinity will not be cut off, as the
Valley View mine, owned by Sack
vile & Wynn. which was opened
up about four years ago, has good
vein of coal and is also employing
a large force of miners.
The Section One mine. which was
opened a number of years ago, was
taken over a year ago by a Rock
Island company, who are enlarg-
ing this mine and will soon be
ready to take on more men, which
will be another source of supply
for tri-city consumption of coal.
Mr. Pryce has not decided what
he will do when his mine ceases
operation, but it is probable he
will retire from active business.

1861 MILES OF
ROAD PAVING Is
ILLINOIS TOTAL

More than 1,S61 miles of road
paving have been awarded since
/ Illinois began its program of high
way construction, according to fig
ures Just made available by high
way officials. OF this, 1889 miles,
| or 81 per cent of the mileage I'M
der contract have been completed,
the figures show. The mileage
awarded under Governor Small
was 435. Over 354 miles of paw
ing have been finished during the
first 10 months of the Small admin
istration.
Nearly all the federal aid and
state aid highways under contract
have been completed, according to
the report Completed federal aid
roads amount to els miles. while
the finished mileage built bv state
aid is 403 miles. In addition tn
these roads are $50 miles of high
way built by counties.
Until recently Illinois has devot-
ed its road building to the CON
struction of federal aid and state
aid roads. Only 81 miles of the
bond issue system have been com
pleted, although nearly $50 miles
are under contract.
The state has exhausted all fad
eTal funds appropriated for road
building in Illinois. The state aid
system has been dropped. Cover
nor Smal's future road building
program calls for work on the
bond issue routes which cover
1890 miles.
