acts Obtained By Survey Are
Summarized In Bureau
OF Mines Articles

The question of where coal was first
mined in Maryland is stu unsettled,
says Dr. Edward S. Metthews, direc-
tor of the Maryland Geological Survey,
writing in the current issue Of the
Maryland Bureau of Mines bulletin.
The facts at hand, SO states Mr.,
Matthews, points to various sources
which may be summarized as follows:
"The earliest authentic records are
found on maps. The Fry and jefferson
map of Virginia bears the term coal
mine above the mouth Of Savage River
in the vicinity of Barnum, West Viz
ginia. The exact location probably has
little significance as the drawing Of the
map is rather sketchy and the scale
large. This map was apparently drawn
in 1749 though the date of publication
was 1851. After its first issue there
were several other editions with differ
ent titles and often different authors
and publishers. The best known cdi-
tions are those of 1855, 1903 and ITS.
These carry the word coal
This map was also the basis for
Dalrymple's map of Northern Virginia
issued in London in 1865. Various
French maps of the time carry the
phrase mine de Charbon' local mine
here) usually located about the same
place.
'Other sources are local histories
and histories of the coal industry Of
various operators. Acco.ding to
Schartf's History of Western Maryland
the first coal mined in the Georges
Greek basin was taken from the Sheets
farm a mile and a half cast of Frost
burg, The United States Geological
Survey in various reports thinks that
coal was first discovered near Frost
burg in 1904. The Consolidation Coal
Company history describes the expos
ure of Big Vein near Barton in 1910.
Randolph, in his History of the
Coal Industry says: Tradition points
to a locality about a raile north of
Frostburg in the valley Of Jennings
Run as the situation Of the FIRST mine
which was worked
"The first chartered company was
the Maryland Mining Company, char
tered in 1928. It's operation is now
known as the Eckhart Mine, The min
ing industry had reached some COM
mereial development by 1920 and this
development seems to have been al
most entirely limited to the working
of the Pittsburgh bed in the vicinity Of
Eckhart, Pompey Smash (Vale Sum
mit), Frostburg and not in the lower
part of the valley, Even here Randolph
notes that the operation was so incon-
spicuous that an acute observer who
spent night at the Musse1man farm,
just south of Frostburg, made no men
ton Of as unusual occurrence as a coal
mine"

the crowd to please keep its dis

ANY one know how it happened?"
the officer asked, addressing hlmSeH
to the crowd generally.
"I do," said a lounger. Saw the
whole thing-scared the devil out OF
me, too"
THE 1ounger went on: We'll, I was

fringe of bushes, beyond which the
boulevard ran past, land this guy was
sort of walking up and down, looking
at his watch once in a while. like he
was waiting for somebody. Then he
leaned up against the lamp post for
s while, and lit cigarette.
"A car pulled up just the other side
OF those bushes. Couple of guys got
out, came through the bushes, and
went up to the other guy-the one
that's dead. They said something to
him and he said something back. I

He looked down at the dead young
man. Funny" he remarked to the
ambulance men who had just ar
rived. HE doesn't look more than
IS, but his hairs gray"
An hour later Officer Shayne was
sitting on the same bench from which
the lounger had made his 0bSerVa-
tions.
The quiet which hung over the
park now was accentuated In the
officers mind by his recollection OF
the frantic excitement of an hour
before. How quickly that curious
crowd had dispersed; how quickly,
coolly, the coroner had made his in
veStigation, given his tentative ver-
dict. Just another gang killing. they
had all decided. Officer Shayne
thought of the young man with gray

norgue.
