WM. 11. EARNEST, Administrator 1 North Third St., Harrisburg, p a . July 23, 1919. I . . HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Development of Coal Mines Is Traced Edward Stabler, Jr., of Baltimore, tlie secretary of the Short Mountain Colliery Company, which was in corporated in 1851, to mine in the Lykens Valley, Dauphin county, these mines now being operated by the Susquehanna Collieries Com pany, recently gave a history of the Short Mountain corporation before a meeting of the Historical Society of York county. Mr. Stabler is 84 years of age, and is still engaged in the coal busi ness io his native city. His paper contains much interesting and valu able information about coal mining as it was done rnorfe thanßialf a cen tury ago. The facts which he used were secured from the original books of the Short Mountain Coal Company. To add to the interest in this his tory of coal mining in the fifties in Dauphin county, Mr. Stabler has furnished the names of the dealers in Harrisburg who purchased Short Mountain coal in 1858 and later. These dealers were Kby Kunkel, Harrisburg Car Company, Gross and Kunkel, Harrisburg Cotton t'om pany, John Wallower and Son, Henry Frick, John Eichlnge r, Thomas 11. Wilson and Company. Mr. Stabler's paper which he read to the Historical Society of York county follows: Incorporated in 1851 The Short Mountain Coal Com pany was incorporated in 1851 by the State of Pennsylvania. The land orignally belonged to the well-known Cope family of Phila delphia, three brothers of whom were largely engaged a century ago In the shipping business. Job K. Tyson,-a prominent lawyer of Phila delphia, and at one time a mem ber of Congress,' representing one of. the Philadelphia districts, mar ried a sister of the Cope brothers, and became possessed of the coal property, called "Bear Mountain," including "Bear Gap," upon which coal was found, it is not known whether the Cope family was aware of the existence of ooal in that lo cality, when they acquired the prop erty. It has been asserted that Stephen Girard had no knowledge of the existence of coal when he became possessed of the immensely valu able coal lands that now belong to the Girard Estate. When it was found that a very high grade of pure red ash anthra cite coal existed in this mountain, Mr. Tyson and some members of his family and a few friends "proceeded to develop the property. It is located at Wiconisco, Dau phin county, about sixteen miles from Millersburg, the shipping point on the Susquehanna river, at which point they reached the Pennsylvania canal and Northern Central rail road. The company was capitalized at $300,000, 12,000 shares at $25 per, share, of which 11,766 shares were issued. Early Shipments The coal reached Millersburg via Lykens Valley Railroad for ship ment by canal, while the Northern Central Railway cars were loaded at the mines and were transported over the Rykens Valley and Northern Central Railway to York, Baltimore and intermediate points. The com pany paid the freight at the rate of forty cents per ton (2.240) pounds) from the mines to Millersburg, for shipment by either rail or canal. The freight to Baltimore from Mil lersburg was. at that time, 1853, when the mines were opened, $2.50 per ton in winter and $2.10 in sum mer. The canal basin had a capacity of six boats at one time. Some years later a large tonnage was carried by the canal front Millersburg to Havre de Grace, the eastern terminus of the canal, and thence by steam tow 1 boats to Delaware City, per the Chesapeake and Delaware canal, at which point it was transferred by horse or steam power to vessels for New England ports. A largo num ber of boats were also taken to Bal timore daily, being towed by steam boats across the Chesapeake bay from the "outlet" of the canal at Havre de Grace. The output the lirst year of min ing coal was, in 1853, 4,00b tons. In 1854, 46,170 tons were miped with a fair profit "on paper." The sys tem of bookkeeping was so peculiar it is very difficult to figure out the profits if any were made by the company at that time. Takes on New lilfe In 1857 the capital of $325,000 was only half paid up. They showed a book profit that year of $10,234. In the winter of 1858, at an an nual meeting in Philadelphia, the Baltimore stockholders showed a spirit of aggressiveness, and had a special committee appointed to ex amine the books, the physical prop erty of the company, the manner of operating the mining and trans porting the coal to market, etc. Three Baltirtiore stockholders were appointed to serve upon this com mittee. They made a lengthy and exhaustive report, as a result of which, a Board of Directors, largely composed of Baltmore stockholders, was elected to munage the affairs of the company. This new board elected James D. Sutton, president, and Edward Stabler, Jr., secretary and treasurer, whose term of office commenced May 1, 1858. The company from this time took on new life. The business of min ing, selling and transporting the coal to market was energetically prosecuted. The coal was sold on board cars or boats at Millersburg at the follow ing prices: Lump size used' for steam purposes, per ton of 224 0 lbs $1.90, Broken No. 1 2.10 Large and Small Egg Nos. 2 and 3 2.10 Nut 1.25 "Pea," "Buckwheat" or "Rice" sizes were utterly unknown in the market at that time, but everything smaller than nut was thrown upon the dirt piles or allowed to wash into "Bear Creek," and finally into the Susquehanna River. Freight at this time to Baltimore by rail was 1.79 To Baltimore by canal was 1.80 Early Prices In 1860 and 1861 Broken, Egg and Stove Coal were sold at Millersburg at .... 2.00 Freight to Baltimore ...... 1.70 In 1862, domestic sizes of coal were $2.50 Freight 1.90 4.40 In 1863 $3.79 Freight 2.60 6.39 In 1864, Coal $7.50 Freight 4.25 ll.BO Hard White Ash Coal from Wilkes-Barre or Shamokin by canal at this rate, cost. in Baltimore 10.85 The retail price in Baltimore .was from $14.00 to $16.00 per ton* at this time; the prices of coal being at high water mark for the average period. Previous to the outbreak of the Civil War the company leased the l mines to Henry Thomas and John 1 Yarwortli of Tamaqua on a royalty, \ per ton, for all coal mined by them, j This new and intelligent system of j mining was soon shown in the in- I creased output of coal. Mr. Thomas ; was an Englishman and an accom- | plished mining engineer. John Yarworth was a Scotchman and a practical miner. I Being somewhat handicapped by want of cash capital James L. Sut ton bought out the interest of John Yarworth as lessee, when the firm of Sutton and Thomas was formed, with ample capital to develop the business of mining and to conduct a store for the convenience of the operatives at the mines. To 1111 the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Sutton as Presi dent of the uompany, Edward Jessop, a well known resident of York, Pennsylvania, was elected to the presidency. Mr. Jessup, at that time, was the senior partner of a wholesale and importing hardware house in Baltimore, but always re turning to York for the weekend, as his family resided there. On Paying Basis Fnder the energetic and intelli gent management of the lessees, the company was placed upon a divi dend paying basis and lite stock rap idly rose in value. The output of the mine was in creased to 107,000 tons per annum, being the largest single colliery at that time in the wholo anthracite region. As the high prices for coal could not be obtained after the close of the war, the large stockholders were im portuned to sell their stock and cer tain interests showing an nxiety to "pick up" the stock, the directors, during tlie spring of 1864, through ill committee, addressed a letter to every stockholder, suggesting that they pool their stock with a special com mittee appointed by tlie Board and this committee, backed by the Com pany organization, would sell the stock as a whole and obtain for it the best price that it would bring. This plan proved to be effective. Mr. Jessop was chairman of the committee and they soon had control of practically all of the stock. After negotiating with certain par j ties in Boston, supposedly in the in terest of the Pennsylvania Railroad, |an agreement was reached upon a price of $35 per share. The sale was | effeo'ted by Josiah Caldwell, a bold | young operator and financier of Bos ton, who was hacked by bankers of that city. The Company then changed I hands. At a day fixed Mr. Caldwell I presented himself before the Com ; mittee of the Board, armed with a certified cheek, and the transaction was soon closed. One of two Halti | more men remained on the Board to ! keep tlie organization intact until the new stockholders could have a meeting in Boston and elect a new board. The check was for $394,000.00 and was negotiated by the Bank of Commerce, Baltimore, whose presi dent, James W. Alnutt, was a large stockholder in the Coal Com pany. Th P Stockholder* Among the large stockholders were George S. Brown and Sons (estab lished 1803); Henry James, lumber merchant; James L. Sutton, Otho W. Etchelberger, merchant; John Edgar Thompson, president of the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company; Thomas Kenett, Baltimore., etc. It would be interesting to note heye, as showing the condition of hanking. the currency, exchanges, etc., at that time and to show Mr. Thompson's anxiety as to transfer ring his share of the sale of stock to Philadelphia during the. Civil Wur period: "Pennsylvania Railroad Co. "President's Office. "Philadelphia, March 30, 1864. "Dear Sir: i 'inclosed I send you my certificate for stock in the Short Mountain Coal Company for 1.000 shares. "Do me the favor to send me acheck on Philadelphia or New York for the j proceeds at the earliest moment you I can. "If checks cannot be obtained at your place, sent greenbacks by Ad ams Express. "I assume from your lettprs that the terms of the sale have been complied i with. I Yours truly, • •J. EDGAR THOMPSON." "Edward Jessop, Ksq'r., I "President, I "Short Mountain Coal Co, i "Baltimore, Mil." j Mr. Thompson's letter was dated I March 31st, but the delivery and i payment for tlie stock was not con > summated until May. I Mr. Thompson did not attend any of the annual or other meetings of the stockholders, but he invariably sent his trusted and confidential pri vate secretary, William J. Pal mer with a proxy, and we invariably complimented Mr. Thompson by ap pointing his secretary as secretary of the meeting. Mr. Palmer waß soon af ter heard of as wearing the shoulder straps of a brigadier general in the Army, and later as the founder of j Colorado Springs, and president of a | railroad in that State. I This coal is still mined and known In the market as the "Summit Branch" or Mineral Railroad and Mining Cnm | pany's Lykens' Valley. It is a very pure and high grade red ash, free burning coal. It analyzes very high in fixed carbon, shows very little ash, and brings a higher price than the best hard white ash coals. The upper vein is nine feet and the lower 756 feet in thickness. It has been controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad interests for several years past. Anthracite coal was used in Balti more to a very limited extent in the decade of 1850. A bill for a ton of coal, sold in April, 1853, shows the price to have been $6.00 per ton. A bill in December, 1855, is for $7.00, the winter price, after the closing of the canal. No coal was brought to Baltimore originally by railroad. The writer of this has a bill for 25 bushels of bituminous coal, sold In Rich mond, Va„ in 1806, at 20 cents per bushel or $5.00 for the load. Bituminous coal was mined near Richmond In about 1780 and It was transported to that city In wagons. The James River and Kanawha Canal was commenced about that time. Just after the Civil War there was a fight for supremacy among some of the biggest mining companies in the anthracite region and consequent low prices. Coal was sold in Balti more at retail at from $3.75 to $4.25 per ton, during that summer. On the first of September following, the mine price was advanced from tlie summer prices, $1.50 to $2.00 per ton. In ?8!)6, we had another era of low prices at retail In Bultimore nl from $4.85 to $6.00 per ton. The probability now is that anthracite coal will not, for many years, if it will ever, fall to such abnormally low prices again. It will appear from this account that nut (or "chestnut" in 1858) site coal, was relatively very low in price. At that time It was used chief* ly for burning lime from oyster shells or lime stone. At some seasons —during harvest time —the sale of nut was very slow, and occasionally caused a stoppage of the mines. Now it will be observed, that nut is in great demand, and brings the highest price of any prepared size. It might be stated here that the j coal (anthracite) annual production, has increased from five or six million tons per annum to seventy-seven mil lion tons, and coal-carrying cars have grown in capacity front 4% to 5 tons to 70 tons. Scientific Discussions by Garrett P. Serviss j By GARRETT P. SERVISS It is fascinating to study the ! properties of this bull on which we j live, during a few years, flying with I lit through open space, and finally | leaving our bones in its dust, while j i ' we" go—whither? We find the earth-ball, together i with its water and.its air, and sill | that it contains, made up of three ! terms, or states, of matter. The j three are solids, liquids and gases. | We know of no other stale that | any material thing exists in, and j each of the three is transformable I into either of the others. The same I mattei may be successively solid, I liquid, gas, or gas, liquid solid. Out of this common matter of j the globe, which is subject to only j these three states of existence, are | constructed our living bodies und ! brains, and when put together in i this particular combination a won- ! dcrful new property appears, for the' matter now not only moves opparently by its own will, but it thinks and is conscious of itself, i. c., thinks about itself and guides its own acts. Either that, or else something that is not matter, not solid, or liquid, or gas, attaches itself to or dwells within the body anil brain formed out of matter, anil controls and uses (Hem. If the latter case I be the true one, then it is this mys terious something coming info the physical hody that possesses the consciousness and the power to think and to control action. But chemistry is unable to find this immaterial, thinking consci ous something, to which we give the name of soul or mind. Chem istry can sift the entire substance of tlie body and brain through the three states of matter, but all that it discloses is a certain number of the eighty-odd "elements" from which all material things are built "P- The dead material remains; the i,fe and thought are gone, tak ing- tlicir secret with them. The most that chemistry can sav is that when these elements a.e combined in a certain way the product of the combination lives, and, in some oi its forms, thinks. Buy, living, and more evidently (hulking pre not recognizable as chemical properties of matter, whether it be ir. the solid, the liquid or tie gaseous state. No chemical process known to science has ever produced a ' ting organism whero (here was no flfe before. sct a,-, iar as verifiable knowl edge can ca.rj us, we appear to be made up of nothing but material substance, derived from the ball ol the caith. The consciousness which some -f us. at least, have, of a something in us which is in finitely more important and more enduing than the chemical ele ments compiling our bodies and brains arid which is, indeed, o'*r real self, i y incapable of proving its genuine ners by laboratory or ether experimental methods. But let .>s go a little further. Each of the eighty-three chemical elements that make up the world, as we know it, is composed of in visible small particles called atoms. There are eighty-three kinds of atoms, one k.nn for each chemical element. Y. len two or more ele ments are mixed to form a com pounds their atoms are similarly mixed The atoms are then join el together in compound particles, also invisibly small, which are called m lioculrs. Thus water is ,v compound of oxygen and hydro gee, and a molecule of water I (which is Ihe smallest portion into . which water ran he separated while siill retaining the properties of the wnler), cons'nls of two atoms of hydrogen mil ltd with one of oxy gen Again, even the atoms are di visible into still smaller particles, called electrons, so that, as far as we know at present, the compo s'tion of all matter is like this: Electrons unite to make molecules, and molecules unite to make the sensible particles, or grains of matter by means of which its ex istence becomes evident to lis. Ordinary experience, and micro scopic vision, cannot take us be low the level of the sensible par ticles, hut the processes anil de ductions of the sciences of chem istry and radio-activity carry us down through the molecules and the atoms to the electrons. Bui in the latter part of ttiis journey it is the mind that guides the senses, rather than the senses that lead the mind It in a depth as deep as the measureless height of the starry universe Into which the mind thus plunges us. The mind alternately concentrates itself for tlie descent I and expands itself for the asqent, it unites the invisible electron and the unattair able star by a chain of | corr.pielicr.sion; what, then, is it thi.i thus comprehends? Is It no'liing but the matter, which I fon.is alike the electron and the star, ir K, it something else? Fan that matter, however its atoms may be aggregated, possibly com prehend. t-rri reason about, and ox j pcriment with itself. Does it not I rathe'-, when shaped into a human lu-nir. simj 1> . serve as the instru ment of a hlgner principle, a su perior kind of existence, which we piay call i6ul„ or spirit, but not natter in any of its three states? Every one can answer for him self, according to his light. And, whatever his answer may be, the fascination of such inquiries re mains.

MANY DANGERS IN f TYING THE KNOT Nearly Every Country Has Contributed to Long List of Superstitions Did you know that the expression, "tying the knot," grew out of a super stition? Among the Babylonians one part of the marriage ceremony was to take a thread from the garment of the bride and one from the bridegroom and tie them together into a knot. Russia has curious superstitions. One ludicrqus one is that the bride and groom race rapidly down the aisle as soon as the bridal procession en ters the church. Whoever places a foot on the cloth in front of the altar first will be master in the household. In Spain it was considered a good omen to tie around the necks of the bride and groom a silk sash fringed with gold, while they knelt before lite altar, thus binding their love the stronger. In France it is held to be unlucky to allow a person older than the bride to enter the church door lirst. And here tire other superstitions from many countries: It is lucky for a couple to run out of church hand in hand. | The bride and bridegroom must not [ look about or recognize any one on I going tip the church aisle, for the one who does will go elsewhere for love in a short time. The one of the betrothed pair who gets up first front the altar will al ways ill after life be the one to get up first in the house. It is a sign of bad lurk and separa tion if a woman signs her maiden name instead of her new married I name on the church register when site marries. It is good luck to the couple if a pigeon alight on the church as a couple enter it to be married. If the official clergyman has trouble j to find tils glasses it is a sign that one of the two before him will not bear' inspection. if the officiating clergyman makes a mistake some one is present who is opposed to the match. I " It is bad luck to have a minister | refuse to perform the ceremony on i any excuse. if the pastor drops the prayer bookj while reading the service the couple | will be blessed with twins. It is a had omen for the wedded couple if a person in mourning passes I the open church door while the cere mony is being performed. | It is lucky to marry in a ruined, | church. I The couple will be separated soon if I by mistake they start from the altar •in different directions. The one who answers the responses in loudest tone will have the least to say in the household. If the best man stumbles on liis way to the altar it means bad luck to the bridegroom: if the bridesmaid j stumbles, bad luck to the bride. I A bald headed niah at the altar, be lie minister, bridegroom, or bride's father, foretells marriage squalls. If a bride steps on her own gown on her way to the altar she will do something that will destroy her 'own happiness in married life. If the bride turns her head when standing at the altar it signifies til early search for a second husband. Il is had lurk to have at the altar | a person of the same given name as I either of the principals. To hear a baby cry at a wedding is a sign that the love of the couple is onesided. The bridegroom will prove fickle if he drops anything in the room where the ceremony is held. In some countries -it is believed if a bride carries salt in her pocket it will insure good luck. Happiness is scheduled for the couple whose relatives refuse to at tend the ceremony after they have been invited. If a dog barks during the ceremony an enemy is in the room. If the bride coughs during the cere mony her life will be short. If the bride stands under a floral bell and the petals of a white rose should fall on her she will be happy and never know care. To stand with the back to the mirror when being married means much gos siping about you. It is had luck to marry in the mid dle of folding doors under an arch way. I In the course of the marriage cere mony one or the couple tramps on the foot of the other it will prevent sic ness. It' it rains on the bride as she goes to be married she will see pleasure come from all her trials. An evil spirit is seeking to destroy the love life of the couple if a door I squeaks about the time of the cere- I mony. The first single person to come into j the room prepared for n wedding end who does not go out before the cere mony will be married within a year.
