Interesting Notes Of Men and Places

BANKS TOWNSHIP was erected from Lau-
same about lS4l, or just prior TO the or
ganization Of Carbon county, and was named
after Judge Banks, then presiding In
Northampton county. Banks township Is
probably ten miles In length and fully two
miles wide. 1t is located on Spring Noun
tain, fully fourteen feet above tide water.
A small creek named Beaver, rises some
where near Jeansville, on the Northern
line of the township and flows sluggishly
Eastward, connecting with Halle creek,
near Lausanne township, at which point
its descent becomes very rapid. Banks
township was first brought into public no.
tice by the discovery of anthracite coal in
1872, of which the first was mined by
Nathan Beach. in 1913. In those eaIly
days when the transportation of articles In
bulk were laborious, and very inconvenipnt:
coal was taken to Philadelphia in arks
(boatsl where IL was sold al 50 and $40 per
ton. In many instances coal was carried
overland in drays which, with the other
Inconvenience attached TO the mining of
the duskv diamonds made its use in many
households a rarity. The mines i'm Banks
township since their opening have passed
through various hands, but at present are
being worked by Coke Bros. and the l.. V.
X X. Company. The population of the
township is closely estimated at about four
thousand five hundred, and embraces
Beaver Meadow, Yorktown, Auienried.
Jeansvile and Tresckow. Beaver Meadow
is located six miles from Weathclly and
has eight stores, two or three churches, two
school houses and number of beneficial
societies. Audenricd, named after Lewis
Audenried, Philadelphia coal operator.
lies close on to the line of the counties of
Schuykill and Luzerne, and has five
churches, a number of stores and good
schools. Evansville lies almost wholly in

SUMMIT HILL owes its origin to Jacob
Ginter, who discovered anthracite coal
there sometime during the year 1871. II
was number of years afterward, sometime
during 1918, before operations for the preci-
Gus mineral were commenced on system
attic basis. However, at that time the
lands became the property of corporation
known as the Lehigh Coal Company, who
instituted settlement and commenced the
mining and transportation of coal; but
the region being wild and mountainous it
required gOodly Eumber of years before
the settlement put on the appearance of an
established town. Following the history
OF Summit Hill, as it passes from one age
to another, we notice that it abounds with
the usual comical as well as serious incl
dents connected with the establishment of
mining towns. Summit Hill to-day, is no
doubt, far beyond what the carly coal
pioneers dreamed it would be. II is n
thriving town, with many possibilities,
which the enterprising citizens can make
facts if they but stick to it. The popula-
ton of the town is probably nearly two
thousand, and with its beautiful churches.
school house and many elegant business
places and hotels and restaurants, in con-
nection with the natural curiosities, the
burning mine. the ice cave and the world
famous switchback railroad, Summit Hill
ranks in point of popularity far above any
town in the Lehigh Valley.
