Thcfollowingcommunication from
W. L. McLaughlin of May field, Pa.,
to the Scran ton Republican gives
another version of the discovery of
coal and the date thereof:
Mayfield, Pa., Nov. 30, 1895.—1n
reply to the question submitted to
your readers last week in regard to
the time and circumstances of the
discovery of anthracite coal in Penn
sylvania, I respectfully submit the
following:
The first coal discovery in Penn
sylvania was made in 1790 by Nich
olas Allen, a lumberman, who cut
timber along the headwaters of the
Schuylkill river in the vicinity of
Pottsville. Allen lived in the Broad
mountain, near New Castle. He led
a vagrant sort of life, and in one of
his expeditions built a fire one night
under the shelter of some trees in ft
ravine where a coftl seiim cftine to
the surface. During the night he
was awakened by an intense heat
around his feet, caused by the binn
ing of the loose coal which had been
ignited by the wood fire wliica he
had kindled in the evening. He
made an investigation of the place
the next day and became thoroughly
convinced that he had made an im
portant discovery, but he was unable
to convince any of those whose at
tention ho called to it, that the coal
was anything more than black stones
and after a brief time he gave up in
disgust and returned to his home in
Massachusetts, where he died.
Ten years later (1800) William
Morris, who owned a large tract of
land in the vicinity of Port Carbon,
sent a wagon load of it to Philadel
phia, but being threatened with
prosecution for attempting to swin
dle the Quakers by palming ofT black
stones for fuel, he returned home
and sold his land and left the region.
Five years prior to time, however, a
blacksmith named; Whetstone had
nsed it successfully lor smithing
purposes, but it was not until 1813,
or twenty-two years after the dis
covery by Allen that it was intro
duced in Philadelphia as a fuel of
any merit.
The authorities for the foregoing
late Benjamin Bannen, author
of "Coal, Iron and Oil," and P. D.
Luther, author of " I'he Discovery
Development and Production of
Coal," in the history of Schuykill
county.
