CHERRY
Mine, SCENE OF
1909 DISASTER
Superstition of Miners Cause ADAM
Comment of Famous Site
Sunk i'm 1905.

Sheffield, April Interpretations
of miners, who since the terrible
disaster which occurred. at Cherry
in 1909, have refused to work in
the banks, are given as the main
reason for the recent order to close
the mine.
The mine is in eastern Bureau
county and is the property of the
ST. Paul company. Work of dis
mantling the inner workings is al
ready in progress. The shaft IS
said to have an estimated capacity
of 1000 tons a day, but so few men
could be employed that production
was limited to about seven hundred
tons per day.
When sunk in 1905, it was ex-
pected to become one of the largest
mines in the state in production.
1t was modern in all it's equip
ment. Then came the horrible event
of Nov. 10, 1909, when 26S miners
lost their lives by fire in one of
the nations greatest mine disas-
tiers. The sensational feature of
the tragedy was that 20 men seal
ed in the mine for eight days, sur
vived and were rescued.
Attempts to run the mine on a
big scale since that time have fall
ed as the majority of miners be-
lieved the place to be unlucky and
refused to accept employment
there. Hence the st. Paul COM
pany have given up trying to keep
men employed in it
The closing of the mine will
doubtless cause the village Of
Cherry to join the ranks of Seaton-
vile and Marquette, Bureau Coun
tvs deserted villages" Both were
fiourishing towns when the miners
were producing coal.

AUDIT REPORT
COUNTY BOOKS
- -
IN 0. K. SHAPE
Supervisors in Session Here Get
Report OF Officials Books
With Satisfaction.

Aleeo, April 22.--At meeting
of the board of supervisors at the
court house Thursday afternoon the
report of the recent auditing Of the
books of the county officials were
read. All were found to be nearly
correct, but few recommendations
for more efficient bookkeeping
were suggested.
The auditing was completed
some time ago by the Republic
Audit company of Chicago, but the
report was not given out until
the session Thursday. Ernest W.
Mau, representative of the audit
company, was present and read the
report, of which each supervisor
was provided with a copy. The
3 books of Circuit Clerk S. A. Nelson,
County superintendent OF Schools
c. E. Plat, States Attorney Paul
J. Graham and Sheriff John P.
Fleming were found to be correct
ito the penny
County Clerk Frank A. Gibson s
books showed a 81 deficit while
those of County Treasurer C. a.
F'reise showed an extra cash bal
I ance of 1851. Both were compli-
mented for their efficient methods
of bookkeeping, while minor i'm
: provements were suggested in the
accounts Of the above named four
officials. A consolidation of some
accounts was suggested to simpli-
fly the work and at the same time
make it more efficient. The &C
counts of Henry Noble, highway
uperintendent, were said to be in
adequate in the report and sUgges-
fiOns for a more efficient books
were made
~ The report showed that all banks
in Mercer county that had held
4 county funds since December, 1918,
3 had been requested to report the
&. amount of interest or other COM
@pensation paid for the use of the
monies. The answers received
from the banks that took notice of
the requests were found to be as
they should. The board passed a
motion that all county funds de-
posted in banks must be separate
from the personal accounts of the
officials and must be placed in de-
post under the name and title of
the official.
This was the first time in the
history of Mercer county that the
books of the county officials had
been audited. The auditing was
not ordered done as a reflection on
any of the county officers. but rath-
er to prove TO the people that the
present incumbents were efficient
in their work. The expense of the
auditing was considerable. bu,
auditing is done in practically all
lines OF business and the costs OF
such system cannot compete with
the assurance of the people that
their funds are being handled eff
GENTLY.
