content: This series contains the general fiscal record of the LCNC, 1874-1906. The first volume, dated 1874-1883, is labeled as the Ledger of the Lehigh & Wilkes-Barre Coal Company. The other two volumes are labeled with LCNC. Each volume has an index of entries. Examples of entries include: fuel companies; other coal companies, perhaps subsidiaries; breakers and breaker improvements; coal sales expenses; fire; general expenses; improvements; mining equipment; utility companies; office expenses; pay rolls; houses and repair to houses; and New York and Wilkes-Barre Offices. For each entry, accounts are posted on the last day of each month for items such as inventory, payrolls, store, shops, vouchers, sundries, and cash. There are credit and debit columns for each entry. Materials are arranged chronologically.
