SWOOPE, JR. PUBLISHED BY RICHMOND-ARNOLD PUBLISHING CO. F. J. Richmond, President C. R. Arnold, Secretary and Treasurer CHICAGO, ILL. CHAPTER XXI COAL PRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT HISTORY OF CLEARFIELD COUNTY 242 Early Coal Shipments - Early Coal Mines and Railroad - The Moshannon Branch of the T. & C. R. R. - Coal Companies and Proprietors - Description of the Mines - Statistics. The first shipments of coal from Clearfield county were made during the lumbering days, when the coal was loaded in what were called "Arks" and floated down the river to Lock Haven and Williamsport as early as the year 1822. About 1830 a mine was opened on what was known as the Goss farm in Decatur township, and the coal was hauled to Spruce Creek on wagons. The coal transported by these crude methods amounted to a very small tonnage, and it was not until the opening of the Tyrone and Clearfield Railroad to Osceola Mills and Philipsburg in 1864, that the real development of the coal industry in the county commenced. When we remember that prior to that year not a pound of coal had been shipped by rail from Clearfield county; that the production has grown from a few thousand tons to many million tons per year; that "Clearfield" bituminous coal is known wherever this product is used in the country, and is exported to other countries, we can, in part, realize the great impetus that this industry has given to the progress and growth of the county. The Derby mine, about three-fourths of a mile west of Philipsburg, was opened in 1860 by George Zeigler, and the coal hauled on a tram road to Philipsburg and sold for local use. When the railroad reached that point in 1864 this mine was ready to ship. Its chutes were located nearly opposite the depot, and it was the first mine in the county to ship its coal to market by railroad. The Moshannon Branch of the T. & C. Railroad was commenced in 1864, and completed as far as Moshannon in 1868, with a branch up Coal Run to the old Decatur mine. In June, 1866, a mine on the lands of the Moshannon Coal Company, on the south side of the railroad, was opened by the Moshannon Coal Company on the tract formerly known as the "John Anderson," and called "Moshannon." This mine ran until about 1880, when it was abandoned by its owners, a new one having been opened immediately opposite in 1876, and called "New Moshannon." Both of these mines were very successful ventures, and first brought to general notice the Clearfield coals. During the summer of 1868, the Moshannon Branch Railroad was extended about two miles further west, and in the summer of 1869 the rails were laid upon the portion graded, and Sterling No. 1 was commenced August 11, 1869, to add to the production. This colliery was opened upon the lands of A. B. Long, formerly the Casper Haines tract, and in a very short time became the largest mine in the region. During the year 1870, the Moshannon Branch Railroad was extended a quarter of a mile further, and the "Eureka" colliery opened AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS 243 and commenced to ship coal March 14, 1870. This colliery was owned by White & Lingle, and was situated on the lands of Dr. Houtz, of Alexandria, Huntingdon county. The coal in this mine proved to be the purest of any that had been opened up to that time, and the mine itself was without a "fault" from the beginning to the end. In 1874 the mine passed into the hands of Berwind, White & Company, and from them to the Berwind-White Coal Mining Company. The Moshannon Branch was extended during the year 1875, three miles, to enable D. K. Ramey, of Altoona, who owned the lands at the then terminus, to get his lumber to market. The extension of this branch also opened the way to a very extensive coal field, and in the fall of 1874 William Kendrick commenced to sink a shaft two miles from Houtzdale, on lands of Mr. Ramey, for the purpose of proving the "E Bed," which had dropped below water-level at that point. This shaft is seventy feet deep, and was the first in the region, if we except the Sackett shaft at Osceola Mills, sunk in 1866, to reach the "A" Vein, but which was never worked. John Whitehead, Harned Jacobs & Company and other parties opened up a large number of collieries in the Houtzdale region. Most of these operations were purchased by Berwind, White & Company, now the Berwind-White Coal Mining Company of Philadelphia, and they became the largest shippers in that region and continued so for a number of years. In the year 1901, Roland D. Swoope, Esq., of Curwensville, in connection with other owners of coal lands near Madera in Bigler township, constructed a branch railroad from the Moshannon Branch of the P. R. R. to their lands and opened up the "Bucher" Mine on the "B" Vein of coal. This proved to be a very successful operation and developed a new coal territory from which the largest shipments in the district are now made. The Morrisdale Coal Company also opened a mine near Madera, but subsequently sold their interest at that point to the Sylvania Coal Company. The White Oak Coal Company also opened up mines near Madera, and their mines were purchased by the Corona Coal & Coke Company and are now being operated by that company. The coal near Karthaus, in the northeastern corner of the county was first operated by John Whitehead & Company in 1885. This mine was sold to the Berwind-White Coal Mining Company, who also opened the "Cataract" Mine in the same year, about six miles below Karthaus. The Beech Creek Railroad was completed as far as Peale in July, 1884, and to Gazzam in July, 1885. At Peale a large coal operation was opened by the Clearfield Bituminous Coal Company, and the same company operates the coal at Gazzam, and also the Grass Flat mines. The Morrisdale Coal Company in 1885 opened up a large colliery on the Hawk Run Branch. The Bloomington Coal Mining Company opened up their operations at Bloomington in 1885 and Rembrandt Peale, who was the manager of that company and of Peale, Peacock & Kerr, Inc., pushed their operations on a large scale at Bloomington, and also near DuBois and at other points in the county. The Rochester & Pittsburg Coal Company have few operations in Clearfield county, the principal ones being at Helvetia and near Luthersburg. HISTORY OF CLEARFIELD COUNTY 244 Sommerville & Company opened up mines at Winburne and many other smaller operators developed coal properties along the new railroad. A list of all the coal operations in the county, shipping coal by rail, is given herewith. This list is believed to be as complete as it is possible to make it with the data available. In 1862 the tonnage in the county of coal shipped by rail was 7,239 tons. Below will be found the report of the mine inspector of District No. 18, showing the shipments in this district for the year 1910. There is also a large amount of coal shipped over the Low Grade Division of the P. R. R., from the vicinity of DuBois and over the Pennsylvania & Northwestern Railroad, that is not reported in this statement, as those sections of the county are included in a different mining district and the counties are not kept separate in the reports of tonnage.
