The land leased {rom Moses Thompson and Miles D. Gray con- sisted of 314 acres from Mr. Thomp- son and 116 acres from Mr, Gray. The amount paid for these leases was £00,000, The 116 acres was the | first land that Mr. Gray had bought from Mosses Thompson for the sum of $1165, of which Mr. Thompson reserved the ore rights. When the balance of the farm was purchased by Mr. Gray nothing was sald about the ore rights The valuation of the Scotia mine in the begining was about $35.000, but in 1890 they were valued at $65,- | 000, for which amount they were sold to the Bellefonte Furnace Co The first work done in the Beotia mines was with horses and carts, ut after the gre washer was built | three Boston steam shovels were put in operation. One was in the vicin- ity of the Momson cut, the other in the vicinity of the Irwin cut. This stock was transported to the ore washer by a steam dinkey engine over a NArrow gauge track. In 1883, 1 am told, the shovel at the Mom- son cut encountered quite a lot of clay but they dug through this and | then struck a very good vein of ore In 1883 a total of 75,000 tons of ore were shipped to Pittsburgh, 25.000 {tons being lump and the remainder wash ore. Test holes were sunk on the Miles D. Gray farm but the test in these holes didn't prove satisiac- tory enough to warrant operation There is an ore hole on this farm Known the “Nigger Hole” where wis taken oul many years ago, presumably Centre Furnace John Bullion, then superinigndent ol the Scotia mines, claimed that the washers averaged a ton of clean ore to every cuble yards un- washed material, or a wash of about one-sixth, allowing a cubic yard of clean ore to weigh two tons, Some of this ore ran as high fifty per cent but the majority it mn about forty. Carnegie had an option a considerable amount of Ore land in connection with the River Hill tract and wherever test holes were dug they were all to be filled up by an agreement between Moses Thompson and the Cernegiles Ore mining started at Scotia on a but developed in la f much larger the good management of such great ironunasters as Andrew Carnegie, Thomas M.
