Proposition to Build a Monument to the Memory of Philip Guenther, the Discoverer of Anthracite Coal, Has Been Taken Up Exports of Conl from the United States in Febiuary-r-Prospectine Company Organized at Stroudsburg to Make Local Research for Mineials. The UriKlneerinR and Mining Journal says of the anthracite coal tiade: "There is no prospect of any great activity In the anthracite tt.ule for some months. The dull season Is here and producers must restrict output. There irt little demand for coal in the East where uioken oee:, Stove and nut sizes arc accumulating. The Reading came out with Its spring price list last Saturday The other companies issued no circular, but say "Me. too," In ic sponsc to inquiries. The nt price list makes stoe and nut sizes $3.90 f. o. b. New York. This may be called a fair quotation, consldeilng how prices have sagged from the old cliculur llguies of $4.15. The New Yotk Tlmts came out with .1 long story Wednesday about Vandeibilt Interests conti oiling the anthracite trade. A newspaper like the Times ought to know that Morgan Interests conti oiled to per cent, of the anthracite trade two yeais ago, and a year ago came to terms with the Penn sylvania tegjrdlng a division of tiaf- 11c. There Is nothing to show that there has been any change In the situ ation recently. Morgan and Vandeibilt Interests have been woiking In har mony for Home time. "At western points the weather is warmer and buying lags. Theie is not likely to be any such rush to get anthracite forward when navigation opens a.s there was last spring, as sup plies on dock are sulllclent for imme diate needs. The matter of lake freights Is still unsettled: 70 cents from Buffalo to Chicago seems to be a likely figure." Monument for Guenther. The proposition to build a monu ment to the memory of Philip Guen ther, the discover er of anthracite coal, has again been taken up, with the probability that It will soon be ac complished. It Is the deslio of those interested that the monument shall be "etone coal," of the state of Pennsyl vania and especially to the eastern section of It. Anthmcltc coal has im pressed Its' stamp upon the Interests of Pennsylvania beyond the commer cial value, because of the comfort and commerce It has afforded Philip Guenther, who flist biought coal Into successful use, lived in a tough cabin In the foiest on the Mauch Chunk Mountain, Carbon coun ty. While In quest of game for. his family whom he had left at home without food of any kind, his foot stumbled against a black tone. By the roadside, not far from the town of Summit Hill, he built a little Art of wood and threw pieces of the supposed stone about It, so that the embeis hifght last longer, while roasting fowl. Great was the suipiise when he saw that Jhe.'ionl stones were enveloped In a blaze of the bluest hue, and an ho had -often listened to tradition from Indians of the existence of coul In the vicinity. It occuned to him that this might be a po;tton of that mlneial. He took several pleies to his cabin and the next day mesented them to Colo riel'jWbob Welss.'resldlng at what was tne'n" Known" oe Fort Allen, now Weiss port,' Carbon1 county iiut. while Guenther (or Glnter as It , ,.- J oSln1 f ur icfc You nrecloceincun w i !( rltvA inra ftrtnlllniv IB tue flame (very time you use Inferior oil In a lamp, von i uiaine me lump for the results.

John Nicholson, Michael Hlllegas and Charles Cist, Investigat ed Its qualities and authorized Colonel Weiss to ascertain the precise spot where It was found. This was done by acceding to Guenther's proposal of getting through the patent otllce the title to a small tract of land, which he supposed bad never been taken up, but which he was aftei wards deptlved of by the alleged claim of a former survey. The Phlladelphlans took up about 10,000 acres when they found coal In unmistakable quantity and the next ttlumphant success was a market. In 1S0G William Tumbul had a Hat boat built and the first cargo of anthracite coal was taken to Philadelphia by way of the Lehigh and Delaware i lvere. 9 The Phlladelphlans, however, were not dismayed, although the cost of bringing the product Jto uiaikct in those days was $21 per 'ton. The firm of White & Hazard, at the Falls of Schuylkill, made a successful'trlal of the product, and almost Immediately furnaces, mills and factories began us ing It. Indians, long befoic this per iod, were taught by the Moravian mis sionaries the value of silver, copper and Iron ore, but as to coal It is sup posed that neither knew anything of its worth, thoough It is claimed the snvages made plpehcads of It.
