EARLY HISTORY OF ANTHRACITE

as generator OF heat known to have
been made was by a blacksmith in
his forge in the Wyoming district
Of Pennsylvania, in 1859, and the
FIRST shipment for market was in
ITS, from where Pittston now stands
to Carlisle, for use in the colonial gov
eminent FORCES. But it was not until
1903 that the future value of the ar
ticle then known as "stone coal be-
came assured. In February of tina,
year 40 experiment of using it in a
crate as fuel proved successful al
Wilkesbarre, and that experiment,
may be said to have been the start
ing point Of commodity that is prob
ably of greater utility and value
to-day than any other known to
commerce, being leading factor in
our manufacturing industries as well
AS the chief generator Of heat through
out the whole country. Although its
value was ascertained more than a
hundred years ago it is only about ff-
ty years since it began to be used to
any considerable extent, and not un-
til 1929 was the first shipment made
to New York. This was owing more
to the lack of transportation facili
ties than to any other cause. From
that year, whom the anual produc
lion was less than 1000 tons the
consumption has SO enormously in
creased that the annual production
reaches edwards of 100000 tons,
to say nothing about the production
of bituminous or soft coal.
