HISTOBY OF THE BEAVER VAL-
Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Gazette.
Beaver Valley, August, 1873.
[Paper No. 21.]
Ira resources.
The Iresources of this favorite little
valley, for the purposes of manufactur
ing, afe far beyond what the great ma
jority of its people are aware, although
much has been said and written con,
cerning it. It is not too much to say
that every hill is filled with minerals in
the form of coal, iron, and stone, unsur
passed for general use in building; every
flat is thodeposit of thick layers of the
.finest quality of clay, and the river is the
natural motive power of hundreds of
. Bills and factories. But comparatively
lew of our people are aware of the Pact
that every time they tread- the soil of
" Beaver Valley that they cover riches
of mineral wealth that have made other
places famous the world over. We
dream away our chances of future wealth,
and the stranger who appreciates just
such resources as we have, takes them
from our grasp and reaps his reward.
It is no wonder that men seventy years
ago were anxious to obtain tLe rich
acres of our valley, even though they
might be the rugged hillsides and the
apparently non productive flats and
vales. They were wise in their genera
tion-. and laid the foundations for the
comfortable fortunes that their children
V now enjoy. The good people here seem,
to some extent, to know what an im
mense natural power is at their feet,
and take it as a matter of coarse that
everybody else sees it, and are quietly
and patiently waiting for somebody to
utilize It. They are asleep, and may
sleep unto death if not careful.
ITS WATER POWER.
The most striking feature in the val
ley, and'one that first greets the eye of
. the beholder, is the immense water power
that courses and dashes on its way to the
Ohio.
The Beaver river is composed of the
MaEontng, SLenango,- Neshannock, Con-
Slippery rock and other
tributaries, draining an exceedingly fer
tile valley of about five thousand square
miles. In the last five miles of the
conrse of the river it falls sixty-nine feet,
tarnishing water power and |
ELIGIBLE SITES FOR HUNDREDS OF HILLS. I
- The valley in the vicinity of the' falls
is from one-half to a- 1 mile in width, and
the stream probably; about six hundred
feet wide. It is bounded on the east
and west by high and in some places
abrupt, perpendicular hills, and the
channel of the river has a continuous
bed of solid rock.
About the year 1822, the United States
Government appointed a Board of Com •
missioners to establish a National Ar
mory on the western waters of the
United States, and after a patient, la
borious and scientific examination and
estimate of all the prominent sites for
water works in Western Pennsylvania,
Virginia, the States of Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Indiana and Ohio, gave this site
the preference all the others.
The report states that in the year 1822,
when “the water was lower than at any
former period within recollection, there
was flowing through the channel or mill
races, at Fallston, 85 cable feet per sec
ond ; and the volume of the river was
estimated to be three times that i in the
canal.” “The volume of water in the
canal or race at a lower stage, in ordi
nary seasons, does not exceed one-eighth
of the whole volume of the river, and
the • whole quantity supplied by the
river, at its lowest stage in 1822, was
236 cubic feet per second." At the time
of this report, there was but a' single
dam, whereas there are now four, the
upper one of which represents a head of
about fifteen feet, with a seven mile pool
above it, containing
AN IHMEN3E VOLUME OF WATER,
and only a trifle of which has as yet
been utilized. This immense power in
this pool, and that furnished by the ad
ditional dams put up since 1822, was,
of course, not recognized by the United
States engineers in their report, one of
-whom afterwards acknowledged that
their estimate was very far below the
facts of the case. It is the opinion of
many that the power is fully four times
that stated by the Commissioners. The
water power is available at all seasons
of the year, and bat very little time is
lost daring either the floods that some
times visit ns, or when a drought is upon
ns with its withering influence.
HOW THE WATER POWER 18 DIVIDED.
The water power of the valley is di
vided into four hundred shares, one
hundred being used in Fallstoo, one
hundred in New Brighton, and two
hundred in,Beaver Falls. That at Bea
ver Falla may yet be increased to a much
larger number and power by the raising
of the upper dam, and putting to use
more of the immense volume of water
jo “seven mile level.” Indeed, there is
no reason why the water power alone
might not give motive enough for facto
%ries and mills to support a teeming
population, filling the whole of the
1 iwer valley. Scores of factories are
sow run by it, and yet there is but a
fraction of the water in Beaver Falls
that is put to use. That of Fallston is,
1 believe, either in use or mills being put
in order to utilize the whole of the water
power. of New Brighton is also
pretty well put to use, but Beaver Falls,
notwithstanding it has so many factories,
lias yet much power, capable of running
LET.
v
more manufactories 1 than it now has,
and, of course, adding materially to the
wealth of the town. I have not the data
to make any exact calculations as to the
power and capacity of the water used
here. Those who have used ft from
twenty to fifty years know very well
that a few-sharea will run a mill or a
factory, btu that seems to be about all.
It is safe enough to say, however, that
were lhe ; water power used to drive ma
chinery for the manufacture of woolens
and cottons alone, it would give employ
ment to not less than four or five tbous
■ o
and people, and at fair wages to make
the working people comfortable, It
would run enough flooring mills to make
it famous everywhere for the magnitude
of the work done.
Bat put the water to work running to
full capacity the different kinds of manu
factoring done, and it requires no great
mathematical shill to show that instead
of a population of about 17,000 peoplfe,
we should be able to support not less than
35,000 as soon as the factories and mills
were in operation. Add to this the steam
power that may be utilized, and the en
ergy that we ought to have, and not
many years hence the boasted city of the
valley would become a real, live thing,
seen and known of men.
ITS MINERAL RESOURCES.
Of the minerals of the valley not so
mach has been said as their character
and abundance would seem to call for.
In the matter of coal alone there is quite
a source of wealth, and fully enough to
give the valley character. The high
lands of the whole valley are underlaid
by three veines of coal of about 2, 3 and 4
feet in thickness respectively. Tbe vein
that has been most extensively mined is
the well known 3 feet vein, which yields
a very fine and reliably coal, remarkably
free from sulphuret or iron, and when
coked, suitable for the blast furnace. It
has been extensively mined for many
years, not only for our home market, but
as well for the lake markets, General C.
M. Reed of Erie, alone having run over
100 canal boats in the traffic for 20 years
or more, to supply steamers, gas works,
&c.
The demand for the coal found in this
vein is still increasing and at this time is
is a very difficult matter to obtain any-
thing like sufficient and ready'.transpor
tation for it by rail. This vein yields
folly 3,500 tons to the acre. The two
feet vein has not yet been thoroughly ex
plored. Operations have, however,
commenced to do so, at a point near the
northwestern corner of Beaver Falls, and
the intention is to fully test it. The
coal is very pure and well adapted in its
raw state for the blast furnace. The
four feet vein is pretty extensively mined
at some points for home uses. ;In addi-
tion to these veins o! good bituminous
coal, fitted for the use of our manufac
turers, there is also said to be a fine vein
of cannel coal a short distance west of
Fallston, which is being tested and may
prove very valuable.
It is well known that there is an abund
ance of this coal near Darlington, in this
county, and Beaver Valley may also be
filled with it. All allong the Beaver river
there is
A LARGE BUSINESS DONE IN COAL UCNING,
and in a special manner at Clinton, where
large works are constantly in operation-
These and other works send hundreds
and thousands of tons of the black dia
monds to other markets outside of the
valley, and yet the supply seems inex
haustible* It is a source of great wealth
to the valley, and might be
more so, by using it in manufacturing
within our own borders. Instead of
shipping. such a bulky material in its
crude form, let it be sent to the markets
of the world in the shape of iron and
other manufactured articles. Immediate-
ly underneath all the coal mentioned,
sheets of fireclay are fonnd of from 3 to 8
feet in thickness, at some points very ex
tensively used in manufi|pturing fire
brick and pottery.
There are, besides, some alluvial de
posits qf great magnitude, two of which
Mr. Webster, of Beaver Falls, largely
consumes in bis knob works, located in
that town.
Immediately above the two and three
feet coal veins mentioned, massive belts
of blue shale, from twelve to sixteen feet
thick, are uniformly found, and at many
points thickly studded with balls and
plates of iron ore of excellent quality—
very desirable, indeed, to mix with the
rich oxides brought from the North and
from Missouri- Lower down in the hill
sides two solid plates of iron ore, nearly
in contact, and together measuring about
sixteen inches, are found, also of excel
lent quality, and sure to be largely mined
in the future. Assurance is given that
there is quite an abundance of ore, in
paying quantities, scattered among the
hills of the valley, and some in easy dis
tance of New Brighton and Beaver Falls,
where it may be sent to market wlthout
any very great cost. The closing of the
canal, has, for the present, put a quietus
on mining these ores, but undoubtedly
it must be done in the immediate future,
to the advantage of all concerned.
THE QUARRIES.
The hills are also thickly studded with
a most excellent quality of stone. The
quarries have not yet been sufficiently
explored, but openings that have already
been made give assurance that a very
large business must be done in that line.
The thickness of the stratum is inlly
thirty feet, of uniform quality, easily
dressed and well sailed for building pur
; poses, grind slonesf &c.
*■ . —■->
There la not ahlllside but can be ten
cropping out the edges of these Immpse
derails of stone, and which ihj tifu*
Selves are a mine of wealth. Some qiar
tying has been done, but as yet {it has
not become a business in | the valley. |Of
the immense quantity of this stoneno
one can tell, but surface indications wojld
leid ns to believe that it is well nigh p
haustible. j . I
If the stratum uof a uniform tliicknp
of thirty feet, the amount in the jhillsof
the valley is simply enormousj Ap
what makes it more interesting lsi that |t
is all of the very finest quality. Pfr
building purposes it has been tested, aid
found to bqunejcelted any where jin oir
region of county. |
AH ABUHDAHCB OP LIMB.
There is alsoanabun dance of lime la
the valley, and a large business is already
being done ln preparing it for nise. At
several points in the valley, largh kilns
are in constant operation, (Tom which are
sent vast amounts to other markets be
yond our borders. This will, in the lapp
of years, become a much more productive
source of material wealth than it bow is
From this neoessarilj brief epitome of
the resources of the valley,! it will be seen
that there is not much room to spare is
our hills—they being thickly studded
with the greatest'abundance of mineral
wealth. These resources lie comparative
ly idle, and the people of {leaver Ivalley
offer, as an inducement to capital, jibe ar
ticles of wealth before enumerated, to
meet the diversified wants of mßnafa:
luring interests and prondljy point; to tie
past successful career of all who have in
any way engaged in utilizibg the varied
resources within onr borders. The rush
of waters, as they dash over the rocks in
the Beaver, is as musical to the eafr of ia
dastry as it has ever been, and the coal,
the iron and the clay are all lying ready
for the man or men who shall them
from their native hills, and bless the
world with their use. Bat this, of course,
is not all that can be offered to anjy who
may wish to try their fortunes among
ns. I
To these blessings of nature there are
to be added advantages natural to t|he val
ley, and others added by the hand of man,
that make it still more attractive to capi
tal. Bat the length of this letter j neces
sitates another, devoted to the jadvan
tages of Beaver Valley.

The Value of Time.
One fine morning when Benjamin
Franklin was busy preparing bis newspa
per for the press, a into
the store, and spent an hour or~more look
ing over the books, etc. Finally j taking
one in his hand, he asked the shop ;boy
the price.
“One woe the answer.-H
“One dollar!” said he. Can’t yon take
less than that?”
“No indeed; one dollar is the price.”
Another hoar bad nearly passed,! when
the lounger said,
“Is Mr. Franklin at home ?”
“Yes, he is in the printing office.”
“I want to see him.”
The shop boy immediately informed
Mr. Franklin that a gentleman was in the
store waiting to see him. Franklin was
soon behind the counter, when the| loung
er, book in hand, addressed him thins ;
- I
“Mr. Franklin, what is the lowest you
can take for that beok.” ;
“One dollar and a quarter?
“Why, your young man only asked me
one dollar.
“True,” said Franklin, “and I could
have better afforded to have taken a dol
lar then than to have been taken , out of
the office.” '
The lounger seemed surprised, and
wishing to end the parley of bis own mak
ing, said,
“Come, Mr. Franklin, tell me What is
the lowest you can take for it ?”
“A dollar and a half."
*‘A dollar and a half! Why you of
fered it yourself for a dollar and a quar
ter.”
“Yes,” said Franklin, “and I had bet
ter taken that price than a dollar and a
half now.”
The lounger paid down the price and
then went about his business—if be bad
any—and Franklin returned to the print
ing office. i
A school inspector, while lakety exam
ining the ydung children, asked fhjem the
foUowing question : 1
“Are there any mountains in i Pales
tine?” |
“Yes,” replied the children. |
“How are they situated,” inquiijed the
examiner. I
“Some are in clusters, and there are
some isolated ones.” i
“What do you mean by the woFd 'iso
lated ?’ ” asked the examiner. [
“Why, covered with ice, of cburse ?”
quickly replied one of the children.
The editor of a Newark paper heard*
the other day, that a new pass hald been
found in the Andes. Be immediately
wrote to a man in South America that
the pass was bis, and he would be much
obliged if the man would; forward it at
once.
A young lady, in conversing [with a
gentleman, spoke of having resided in St.
Louis. “Was St. Louis native place?”
asked the gentleman.
“Well, yes—part of thejtime,” Respond
ed the lady. |
Why are jokes like nuts—Because the
dryer they are the better they crack.

school districts into Rhode Island.
