BURIED VALLEY
OF WYOMING
DESORIBED BY MB. WILLIAM
GRIFFITH BEFORE THE WYOM
ING HISTORICAL AND GEOLOG
ICAL SOCIETY.
Movement of the Glaciers Southward
During the Ice Age, Leaving Gla
cial Drift Deposit Explanation of
the Buried Valley Pot-holes and
Their Menace to Mining Valuable
Map Prepared by Mr. Griffith.
I mm the Wlkc-Ilirre Ilocnril.
There was a largo and Interested as
semblage at the rooms of the Wyom
ing Historical society to hoar a
paper on "The Hurled Valley or AVy
timlng," by Mr. William Orlflltli, or
Plttston, n mining engineer and geolo
gist whose experience nblindantly
iiiallllcH him for the task. The State
fieologlcnl Survey ha.s given much
consideration to this subject. Mr.
Cirllllth was one or the assistants In
the work and a portion of his paper
had appeared previously lit an address
given before the Anthracite Coal Oper
ators' association In New York city.
What gives the matter especial Interest
Is that Mr. Ciiitllth prepared an elab
orate map-model of the burled valley
of Wyoming, which ho presents to the
society for the use of all who may be
Interested In consulting it.
Many of those present were olTlcInls,
engineers and employes of the local
coal companies. At the close of the
address they all gathered around the
model and evinced the greatest Inter
est In It. Some of them had later data,
from more recent bore holes, going lo
show that the model can be added to
and made of even greater value. The
model was so constructed that the
present valley could have such por
tions of its surface lifted as show the
great canyon, or buried valley beneath,
as it was when the mighty glaciers
had flowed inelr way southward in
remote ages of the past.
Following- is a condensed presenta
tion of the paper:
fc THE ICE AGE.
During what is sometimes called the
Fee Age, Canada and the northern
part of the United States, ax far south
as central Pennsylvania, was covered
with a solid blanket of ice. In the
vicinity of the Wyoming Coal Hnsln
this ley .sheet is supposed to have been
about -'.una feet in thickness. As J
usual with1 glacieis, (lie whole mass
slowly moved southward, gouging and
plowing the surface ol the earth,
.-era telling and breaking the rock r.i.d
transporting stones and boulders of
all sizes long distances, finally deposit
ing them far from the place of their
original occurrence.
In this glacial area the rock is usual
ly coveied by a variable thickness of
"drift." consisting of various layers at
sand and rounded gravel, with boul
ders large and small, all mote or less
worn by the action of the water and
moving debris. In some places whers
large streams were piobubly (lowing
under the ice deep channels were worn
In the rock and .subsequently filled
with glacial drift deposit, and, of
course, when- llie.se channels wore'
deeper than their outlets, lakes of still
water were formed and these often
times were tilled to considerable depth
with fine silt or quicksand, clay, grav
el, etc.

One of these submerged channels ex
tends through the length of the Wyo
ming valley and Is often referred to
aa the
"BUrtlED VALLEY" OF WYOMING.
The rock has boon worn away to a
depth of from one to two hundred feet,
eroding some of the upper coal seams
In places and leaving the uncertain;
thickness of rock roor over the un
derlying coal. Another phenomenon
or freak resulting from glaciers Is the
FORMATION OF POT HOLKS.
A glacial pot-hole Is a deep shaft,
well or hole, worn In the solid rook
by action or water falling from a
height (probably through a. crevice in
the lee) on the sound rock bed, thus
(by the nld of fragments or stone and
boulders which are kept In continual
motion In the bottom of the hole)
wearing the well deeper and larger
with time. The size and depth of the
pot-hole depends on the volume of
water and the height or fall. Pot
holes nrc in process of formation at
tiie present time. In Alpine glaciers
and elsewhere, and In Switzerland
some of these are preserved for pub
lic Inspection and Instruction. Minute
potholes varying In size from a pint
measure to a hogshead are often found
worn in the bed rock of our mountain
.streams, formed in the same way, by
tiie water falling from a ledge and
keeping the small pebbles In motion
In the bottom of the hole. A good
idea of tills action may be obtained by
placing some pebbles In a tumbler nnd
placing it under the water llowlng
from a faucet.
The existence of pot-holes In the
anthracite region was first discovered
In 18S4, when one of the chambers of
the Katon colliery at Arch'bald was
driven against a mass of round stones
of all sizes, from pebbles to boulders
a foot In diameter. Subsequent Inves
tigation revealed the existence of an
oval shaped shaft from 20 to 40 feet in
diameter worn through the rock from
the surface. Tills pot-hole had cut
completely through the coal bed, nnd
among the boulders In the bottom of
tiie hole were quantities of round
lumps of coal which had evidently
been cut from the seam. This pot
hole Is now used as an air shaft for
the mine.
About twenty years ago, previous to
tills discovery, an accident occurred
which is now thought to be due to a
pot-hole. The case referred to was at
the Wyoming colliery operated toy
Swoyer & Co., now the Lehigh Valley
company, at Port Bowkley station on
the Lehigh Valley railroad. The mines
were under the buried valley and were
filled with debris from the supposed
pot-hole. Since the discovery of the
Archbald pot-hole
TWO SEIJIOUK MINE ACCIDENTS
have occurred under the "Burled
Valley"' of Wyoming, which were un
questionably caused by the existence
of some form of pot-hole in the strata
overlying the beds. The first of these
which was one of the most disas
trous mine accidents of the region
occurred Ore. IS, 1SS3, at tiie Susque
hanna Coal company's mine, Nanti
coke, Pa. At the edge of the solid
coal near the face of a chamber, a
flood of water, sand, rounded stones,
etc., suddenly and without warning of
any kind, broke into the mine, filling
up lOO.nno cubic yard? of workings.
The live.i of twenty-six men were lost
in this accident and it was found im-pos-slide
t6 recover their bodies.
The other accident of this nature oc
curerd in tSl7 at the Mount Lookout
colliery at Wyoming, Pa., operated by
Simpson & Watkins. About 70,000
cubic yards of quicksand washed into
the mine, causing a surface depression
about SOU feet in diameter and 23 feet

Smart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
GIVE PERFECT DIGESTION,
SOUND SLEEP, STRONG
NERVES.
A Popular Remedy for Dyspepsia
Which Has Made Many Remark
able Cures.
Th sprlnir of the year lshe time for
blood purifiers. It Is the season when
wo think we must dose ourselves with
sarsaparllla, bitters und the endless
list of so-called blood purifiers and
nerve tonics.
As a matter of fact, there is but one
possible way In which to purify the
blood, ahd hat Is, through the stom
ach and bowels.
Pure blood results rrom wholesome
food thoroughly digested. Impure
blood from poor digestion and assimil
ation. When the stomach refuses to
work properly the food remains too
long a time, fermenting, forming gases,
shown by sour, bitter taste In the
mouth, bloating and belching of gas,
und distress and discomfort generally.
Poor blood, weak nerves, sleeplessness
and a general don't care feeling can
always be traced to Imperfect diges
tion. This Is the reason why Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets are superior to all other
spring medicines and blood purifiers.
They give perfect digestion, the food
does not lie In the stomach for hours.
They give n vigorous appetite, sound
sleep, strong nerves, and wholesome
food well digested makes pure blood,
and In no other way can the blood bo
purified. The idea that a medicine, In
Itself, will purify the blood when the
stomach and digestive organs are out
of order Is nonsense. Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets are used by thousands in
preference to "bitters," "after dinner
pills" nnd "blood purifiers" because
they remove the cause of the Impure
blood, and you do not have to take
them forever to get results. Dyspepsia
is an obstinate disease to cure and a
remedy must be designed especially for
It and nothing else. Cure-alls will not
'cure dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
claimed to cure everything or any
thing except Dyspepsia and stomach
trouble, and for that it stands alone
among patent medicines. Anyone suf
fering from any trouble with the4r di
gestion will find these tablets will give
immediate relief and a permanent cure.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are pre
pared by the F. A. Stuart Co,, of Mar
shall, Mich., and sold by druggists
everywhere at 50 cents per package. No
dieting nor change of habits is re
quired, they digest the food.
deep. It engulfed the postoflice com
pletely and did some damage to thiec
other dwellings. Fortunately the
mines were idle and no life was los-t.
Our knowledge of this great lake of
quicksand and gravel has up to the
present time been exceedingly vague
and hazy and we should seek the in
formation necessary to prevent the le
currence of accidents similar to those
just recounted.
The various mining companies, in
their effoits to extend their mining op
erations under the center of the val
ley In the past, have been obliged to
bote a great number of diamond drill
bore holes from the surface to the
rock, in order to ascertain the depth
of the wash which exists in the local
ity. I accordingly sent circular letters
to all the coal operators in the re
gion, asking them to furnish me with
the depth and location of each bore
hole, hoping to get a more perfect idea

at tho. matter In hand. I received
generous responses to these totters,
and from this Information have been
able to prepare
A MAP OV TH13 VALLEY
locating approximately tho outtlncs of
this sunken area. The map Is pre
pared on the scale of 1,600 feet to the
Inch, divided Into squares occupying
tho name position as those on the mine
sheets of the Pennsylvania Geological
Survey.
Having; prepared the mnp with ref
erence to tho surface features, I lo
cated upon It each bore hole and re
corded the deoth of tho samo to tho
rock. I could then draw the contours,
Which would give an approximate Idea
of the general rorm or the rock bot
tom or the valley, and from these T
wns able to prepare a plaster model
representing In an approximate way
the location, depth, etc.. of the burled
valley or Wyoming. This map and
model are presented for your examin
ation hero.
Prom a study of tills map-model It
will be observed that tho erosion, or
the burled valley begins at the en
trance of tho river Into tho vnlley-a
Campbell's Lodge and continues to
the point where the river leaves the
valley1 at Nantlcoke.
AVo also note the burled valley of
Newport Cireek, which Is an extension
to tho southward of the main burled
valley, but that It descends northward
In the same direction as tho How of
water In tiie creek, emptying into the
Susquehanna af Nantlcokc.
The bottom of this burled valley Is
apparently very Irregular In contour.
Nearly every stream entering the val
ley on either side bad a correspond
ing depression or erosion In the bed
rock of the burled valley. While the
Susquehanna river now Mowing along
the surface of the gravel be.d which
has filled this tremendous erosion or
canyon winds Its crooked way, cross
ing and recrosslng the valley, It over
laps the rocky shores which form the
margin of the erosion, very slightly at
two points only, North Wilkes-Barrc
nnd Plttston, and If the drift now
filling thi) burled valley were removed
we should have in its place a fresh
water lake approximately a mile in
width, extending from Plttston to
Nonticoke. The deeposc part of the
lake would be near the center of tho
valley, at Plymouth. It would grad
ually become more shallow each way
from that point to the north and the
south.
In the construction of this map and
model we made use of SCO bore holes,
lecord or soundings, furnished us by
the Lehigh Valley Coal company, Clear
Spring Coal company, Stevens Coal
company. Temple Iron company, Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western Rall
n.ad company, Kingston Coal com
pany. Lehigh and AVilkes-Barre Coal
eoiiipany and the Susquehanna Coal
company, and to these operators, we
aio indebted for our ability to produce
the results here shown. It is to In
regietted that more information was
not obtainable. We trust that our
pro-eat attempt at an approximation
may bo continued in the future by the
engineers of the valley, for it is only
thus that the knowledge may be ac
quired to adequately provide against
the dreadful accidents which aie liable
to occur by blindly prosecuting the
mining operations without proper
soundings in advance of the work

tried medicines and doctors without nvail. And yet thero was a
cure for theso women, and they fortunately found il. They toll
below tho story of their sufferings aud their ourc. They aro just
two women out of thousands who in a similar condition
Have found a perfect and permanent euro by tho uso of
tho same means.
Mrs. Ada Klkins, of Cotulla, l,asalle County, Texas,
writes: " I wns taken ill in December, with prolonged
periods. This would last for ten or eleven days, and I
would not be able to sit up but a few minutes, then I
would be so weak I could not walk about the house.
I nould gain a little strength, then I would have
another attack, l'or three months I took some natent
medicine, and also medicuie from a doctor, but without avail.
men a neigiiDor seni me one 01 ur. ncrce's pamphlets, and I
got n bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and one .vial
of his 'Pleasant Pellets.' Took that bottle of 'Favorite Pre
scription, then, used two bottles of ' Golden Medical Discovery '
in connection with 'Favorite Prescription.' I wrote to Dr.
Pierce describing my case, aud received a very prompt reply,
advising me to have the druggist add one other kind of medi
cine to the 'Favorite Prescription,' which I did. I took, eight
bottles of 'Favorite Prescription,' two of 'Golden Medical
Discovery,' and three vials of 'Pellets.' I was so much better
that I discontinued the use of the medicine in the following
October. I am now able to sew nearly all day without resting!
and also help, with the housework, and in the garden. I
still take the 'Pellets' occasionally. Dr. Pierce's medicines
are just splendid. I will write any lady about my case more
fully, if desired, if she will send a self -addressed stamped
envelope."
The best advertisements of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription aro the women it has cured. A woman
hears of a neighbor suffering and sends her one of Dr.
Pierce's pamphlets, 'and that leads to the purchase of the
first bottle of "Favorite Prescription" und the begin
ning of the cure. But there is one important passage
in Mrs. Elkin's letter that no woman should overlook.
She says: "I wrote to Dr. Pierce describing my case,
and received a very prompt reply, advising me to have
the druggist add one other kind of medicine to the
"Favorite Prescription," which I did.
Dr. Pierce invites siok women to consult him by letter,
free, and (hat this is no empty offer is proven by
the quotation from - Mrs. Elkin's letter. All corres
pondence addressed lo Dr. Pierce is held as strictly
private and sacredly confidential, and the written con
fidences of women are guarded by the same strict pro
fessional privaoy observed by Dr. Pierce and his staff
in personal consultations with women, at the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. Address
Uf. jk. V. rierce,
" I had female trouble for eight years," writes Mrs. L. J. Den
nis, of 82S East College St., Jacksonville, Ills. "Words cannot
express what I suffered. sought relief among the medical
profession and found none. Friends urned me lo trv Dr.
Pierce's l'avonte Prescription. When I commenced taking V

pounds more than I ever weighed before. I was so bad I
would lie from day to day and long for death to come and
relieve my suffering. I had internal inflammation, a disagree
able drain, bearing-down pain, and such distress everv month.
but now I never have a pain do all my work, aud am a strong
and healthy woman."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women
strong and sick women well. It establishes regularity,
dries tho drains which weaken women, heals inflamma
tion and ulceration
cases where all other means and medicines had failed of permanent benefit.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be used with " Favorite Prescription "
whenever a laxative is required. They assist tho action of tho medicine.
Sometimes a dealer, tempted bv tho little more profit paid on tho sale of loss
meritorious preparations, will offer. a substitute for "Favorite Prescription"
as "just as good." Judged by its record of cures of womanly ills, there is no
other medicine just as good as " Favorite Prescription."
