The town is a basin containing ten
workable anthracite veins, all tributary

Valley Coal Company. The Collier,
is very old. and many of the lower
veins have been practically worked out
leaving the uppermost, the Primrose
vein and the Holmes vein as the most
available sources of supply. First min

disturbance are sure to follow. The
pitch Of the Primrose vein, moreover,

of the limited nature of the grant.
During the mining Of the lower
veins, the surface was not affected,
except by the customary settling with
which all coal towns are familiar.

These things are accepted philosophi-
