A CENTURY OF ANTHRACITE
First Ton of Hard Cost Roachod th»
City of Philadelphia Just Ono
Hundred Years Ago.
An even hundred years have »lapsed
since one William Wurta, a Philadel
phia merchant, drove his team of
mules with the first ton of anthracite
through the spring freshets and bog
land to the banka of the Delaware
river and floated the new fuel down
the river to Philadelphia ou a pine
log raft.
,
But be experienced no little diffi
culty In that flrat anthracite year of
1820 In overcoming the popular objec
tion that lite coal was “extremely alow
of lighting.'* Pine log rafts floated
only 365 tons of anthracite that year.
But it fetched a price of $12 a ton
and could be delivered frelgbt-on-raft
Philadelphia at $3—a fact that was
freely advertised to attract additional
capital, for, of course, there was no
profiteering In those days.
Spring freshets and bog land and
slow inflammability uo longer worry

a hundred years has jumped to 86.•
200,000 tons, and could this year sur
pass the 100 mllllou-ton mark, which
was almost reached in 1917.

H. A. Damall, a former proprie

■built the commodious building naw
occupied by this newspaper, was a
pleasant caller last Tuesday. Mr.
Damall is now a homy handed
farmer, which does not detract in
the least from our estimation of
the man and the good sense he has
shown in his change of vocation.
Three times in the past few years
the writer has sold his print shop
to fulfill that dream of “a few chick

only to fall back into the smear of

anticipations for our declining years

to our first love until “our ship
