SOMETHING ABOUT COAL.
Tho Story of the Discovery of the High
Priced Article.


Priced Article.
William f. Roberts, of Hazleton,
writing to the spicy Ha2leton Plain
Speaker, has this to say about coal and
its discovery.
Attention was given to coal dis
coveries as early as 1910 from papers
left by the early settlers. In Wyoming
Valley experiments were made to burn
anthracite in 1775-G, and several car
loads we're foated down the Susque-
hanna river and hauled to the United
States Armory at Carlisle for the manu-
| facture of fire arms. In 1868 the coal
was used by Obadiah Gore black
smith from Connecticut. Ii was first
used in the CRATE by Judge Fell, of
a CRATE and the coal burned to his en-
| tire satisfaction. Bituminous coal was
generally known and used. This kind
of coal was principally mined near the
town of Clearfeld in Clear6eld county.
1t was considered that it made the
finest coke as well as hydrogen gas.
The discovery of coal in the Lehigh
district was in 1904, when Dr. James in
company with Anthony Morris, both of
Philadelphia, visited some land held
jointly by them at Sharp Mountain.
They said they reached the Summit of
Mauch Chunk Mountain with one
Phillip Ginter as guide, and there eX-
amined a shallow pile which they OBJ
tanned some coal. Phillip Ginter was
"A hunter and knew all the surround
ing mountains. He told the party
on a certain day previously he was
without any kind of game, and being
late in the evening he made up his
mind to return to his cabin, disheart-
ened at his unsuccessful days travel,
when he stumbled against some loose
stones which rolled before him; he
picked up one and it was very black.
struck him that this black rock might
be coal and put it in his knapsack and
took it to his cabin. Next morning he
took the black rock to Col. Jacob Weiss
then living at Fort Allen erected by
DR.. Franklin. The Colonel took the
specimen to Philadelphia. 1t was in
spected by John Nicholson, Michael
Hillegras and Charles Cist, a printer,
who said it was anthracite, --Cist,
/, Wiess and Hillegras in the beginning
of the year 1892 formed the Lehigh
. coal company without a charter of in.
, corporation and took up between eight
a to ten thousand acres of land includ.
ing the Mauch Chunk mountain. The
q mine afterwards was opened by this
company but on account of the diff
f culties in getting the coal to market
q the enterprise was abandoned and ST
remained until 1907 when VIM. Turn
