coal famine then raging in this country.
Was among the first to land in the Penn
sylvania coal fields. and on this account was
long known as the Christopher Columbus
Of the Mines.
Within two years of the organization Of
the D. H. Co.. through the ass.du!ty
and the enterprise of the lad, the annual
output reached the enormous total of 1000

other cities at the low rate Of SIS a lump.
This small beginning resulted eighty years
later in an average annual production OF
about 6Oo000.0CO scuttles full, which were
sold at largely reduced rates, making cook
ing and furnace fuel cheaper than diamonds
and placing it within the reach of all who
could afford 1t.
