This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ... MINERAL COAL. By Volney L. Maxwell, Esq. BEAD AT INSTITUTE HALL, WILKES-BARKE, PENN'A., IN FEBKUAEY, 1858. Prefatory Note.

The Scranton Company has leased coal mines southwesterly of WilkesBarre, and nearly seventeen miles southwesterly of Scranton, and are of course thus bringing their coal through the latter place. There is yet room for another large Coal Company, and if it should be formed and extend to Wilkes-Barre the road referred to, all other coal companies subsequently formed, must be content with the means of transportation thus provided." This was in i860. Happily now, in 1869, The Morris and Essex Road, extended to the Delaware, is receiving coal for New York, from the new road since made by "The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company" from Wilkes-Barre to Easton; and from The Delaware, ...
