COAL and IRON TRADE
of the Mahoning Valley
The coal fields of Ohio are second in importance only to
the great coal fields of Pennsylvania, and comprise an
area of 10,000 square miles, or 6,500,000 acres.
The estimated yield of twenty-seven cubic feet to the
ton would give the coal deposits in Ohio, as here
estimated, to be 209,733,333,340 tons. It would
require 51,200 years to exhaust these mines, were they
operated at the same rate they are now being mined; or
it would supply the entire demand at present made upon
the colliers of the United States for 4560 years; or it
would supply Great Britain with coal for 1600 years,
with a production equal to that mined at the present
time. From a volume entitled "Coal Regions of
America," we find the following brief outline of the
coal seam in Ohio.
"The coal basin is bounded on the west by a continuous
but crooked line from the Ohio river, in Scioto county,
to the Pennsylvania line wear Sharon, within a line
running from that place to Ravenna, Akron, Wooster,
Dover, Brownsville, Logan and Hanging Rock. Or, to
follow the line of outcrop more particularly, we have in
the north, in Trumbull county, the boundary of the
coal-field from where the Pymatuning creek crosses the
State line, curving southward, and the other side of the
curve being on Mahoning creek at Youngstown.
Thence the line is westward nearly along the north line
of Mahoning county, from the northwest corner of which
it puts out a long, slender cape through Portage into
Geauga county, its west boundary being near the Cuyahoga
river, until it enters Summit county. From Ravenna
the line is nearly southwest to the north line of Holmes
county, except a well-defined cape running into the
southeast corner of Medina county. Thence
southward it follows near
Pg. 60 -
the east line of Holmes and Knox counties, and includes
the southeast corner of Licking county. It then
passes near the line between Fairfield and Perry
counties, with a deep indentation at the Hocking river
valley, extending to the west line of Athens county;
thence westward and southwest to include the southeast
part of Hocking county, three-fourths of Vinton, nearly
all of Jackson, and the eastern part of Scioto counties.
The counties wholly covered with coal are Mahoning,
Columbiana, Stark, Holmes, Tuscarawas, Carroll,
Jefferson, Harrison, Belmont, Guernsey, Coshocton,
Muskingum, Perry, Noble, Morgan, Monroe, Washington,
Athens, Meigs. Gallia, Lawrence, and nearly all of
Jackson. All the counties of which the eastern or
south-eastern parts only are covered with coal are
Trumbull, Portage, Summit, Medina, Wayne, Licking,
Fairfield, Hocking, Vinton and Scioto. There are
also some out liers or small detached basins in Wayne,
Ashland, Richland and Knox counties."
The discovery of mineral coal and its uses is an event
of the present century. Coal was known to exist at
various points in Northern Ohio when the forest was
first penetrated by the early settlers. The first coal
mining in Northern Ohio was done about the year 1810.
The coal was dug from a pit near Talmage, in Summit
county, and used for many years for blacksmithing
purposes. About the year 1819 or 1820 Mr. Asaph
Whittlesey and Samuel Newton opened a bank
near that place, which was followed, a few years later,
by the opening of other mines. The coal as yet had
never been tested for heating purposes, and aside from
blacksmiths, there was no demand. Coal was known
to exist by the settlers in the Mahoning Valley, and as
the country became more thickly settled, and wood began
to be more scarce, coal was taken from the out-crops and
used by blacksmiths, and also for fuel, a more
systematic method of mining was soon adopted, and coal
was teamed in large quantities to other places. In
1810, David Tod was operating a mine at
Brier Hill, and upon the completion of the Pennsylvania
and Ohio Canal from Akron, Ohio, to Beaver, Pa., he
shipped a couple of boat loads to Cleveland for the
purpose of introducing it as fuel on lake steamers,
which was not easily accomplished, there being
considerable hostility manifested towards it by
engineers and firemen. Mr. Tod,
however, was not to be discouraged by these
difficulties, and finally succeeded in making a
successful experiment; and in 1815 coal supplanted wood
on the
Pg. 61 -
steamers on the lower lakes. Large quantities were
subsequently mined and shipped to Cleveland from the
Mahoning Valley by Mr. Tod, and but a few years
elapsed until the mining and shipping of coal became a
prominent industry later, the opening of the Cleveland
and Mahoning Railway from Cleveland to Youngstown,
traversing the heart of the coal region, gave fresh
impetus to the mining interests.
The discovery that the coal in the Mahoning Valley
could be used in reducing ores without coking, was the
result of mere accident, in the year 1845; and then the
iron made from the use of the raw coal proved to be of a
superior quality to that produced by the use of coke.
This discovery was of incalculable benefit, both to coal
operators and iron manufacturers, and extensive
operations were soon entered into for the mining and
shipping of coal, and the erection of manufacturing
establishments, which consumed large quantities at home
in manufacturing iron and its products. The State
geologist, in his report of the Geological Survey of
Ohio, says: "The coal of the Mahoning Valley, nearly all
of which is a first-class coal, superior to that from
any other coal field in the State, and not excelled by
any bituminous coal mines anywhere.
"The coal is generally remarkably free from sulphur and
other impurities, containing a small per cent, of ash
and a large per cent, of fixed carbon. As the
analysis of specimens taken from various openings, and
published in the chemist's re port, will show : It is
generally a dry, open burning coal, it mechanical
structure causing it to take fire rapidly through the
centre of the largest pieces, especially adapting it to
the smelting of iron.
The coals in this valley were the first bituminous
coals mined in the country for the reduction of iron
ores without cokeing, a fact which made them widely
known, and gave them at the time a reputation above all
other bituminous coals. Nothwithstanding
continuous explorations have largely increased our
knowledge of the coals of the country, and have brought
to notice of manufactures many varieties of great
excellence, these still maintain the reputation thus
acquired. They are still the standard with which
iron making coals are to be compared."
The coal mines in the Mahoning Valley are principally
located in the townships of Brookfield, Liberty, Vienna,
Hubbard, Weathersfield and Houland in Trumbull county,
and
Pg. 62 -
Austintown, Youngstown and Coitsville townships in
Mahoning county. In our exhibit of the coal trade
in this region, we had hoped to give a complete report.
In this, however, we are somewhat disappointed, as there
are some mines in operation from which we could get no
statistics. Below we give reports from works
located contiguous to Youngstown, and, as great care was
used in gathering the data, it may be considered a fair
report. The total number of men employed in these
mines is 3,480, to whom are paid for labor $1,821,480
per annum. There was 507,375 tons of coal mined in
1873, employing a capital of $1,670,000. The
number of acres of coal land being worked is 6,680,
which is valued at nearly $5,000,000. C. A. &
W. C. Andrews. - The works of this firm are known as
the Tyler Bank, having a capacity of 200 tons per day,
and the Holliday Bank with a daily capacity of 400 tons.
Both these mines are sitauted near Vienna, and
contiguous to the Vienna Branch of the C. & M. R. R.,
with which it is connected by private tracks. The
firm owns here 800 acres of land, employing at both
mines 275 men, and has invested $100,000 in prosecuting
the business.
Andrews
and Hitchcock own and operate the Burnett bank which
was opened in 1863 by the Burnett Coal Co. It has
a daily capacity of 450 tons, and the Love bank,
which they opened in 1872, with a daily capacity of 400
tons. The works are connected with the Hubbard
branch of the C. & M. R. R., by lateral tracks.
There was mined from these works in 1873, 86,896 tons of
coal. A six months' strike during this year
greatly diminished their production. The firm
gives employment, in both mines, to 325 men, and own 350
acres of coal land. Their capital is $200,000.
Ashland
Mines are located at Mineral Ridge, were opened in
1856 by Jonathan Warner, and are now owned by
Armes, Warner & Co. The daily
capacity of the mines is 80 tons. The firm employs
40 men, who mined, in 1873, 8,000 tons.
Cambria
Mines. - These mines are located at Mineral Ridge,
and were opened by Morris & Price in 1850,
and have a capacity of 150 tons of coal and black band
ore per day. There are 125 men employed, who
mined, in 1873, 12,000 tons - about one-third of the
production being ore, which underlies the coal vein.

1873, 30,000 tons of coal. The company owns 300
acres of coal land, and has a capital invested of
$60,000.
Mahoning Coal Co.—This
Company, composed of the Himrod Furnace Co. and
Brown, Bonnell & Co., has under its
control four mines in good yielding condition, viz The
Long Bank, two miles west of Hubbard, which was opened
in 1864, by the Mahoning Coal Co., and has a daily
capacity of 120 tons. No. 3 bank, one mile west of
Coalbridge, in Hubbard township, which was opened in
1870. The Stewart bank was opened in 1870, and has
a daily capacity of 300 tons; and the McKennie

IRON.
The enterprising settlers of the
Western Reserve were also the pioneers of the iron
business of this State. Clendenin,
Montgomery & Mackay, of Youngstown, built the
first furnace in Ohio, at the mouth of Yellow Creek, on
the Mahoning, in 1808, within ten years after the
settlement of this region. Before that time all
the castings and all the bar iron required on the
Reserve was, like the grindstones, brought from great
distances, at a heavy expense. Iron was almost a
precious metal. This establishment was what is
called among iron masters a "pocket furnace," eight feet
across the boshes, and about thirty feet high. It
stood like all the old furnaces, against a bluff, and
was charged over a bridge built from the bank to the top
of the stack. Its ruins are still visible a short
distance below the Mt. Nebo mine. It was, of
course, a charcoal furnace, with cold blast, driven by
water power, producing only a ton and a half to two tons
per day. In 1809, James Heaton built
a refining forge on Musquito Creek, where is now the
prosperous village of Niles, in Trumbull county, for the
manufacture of bar iron with charcoal, from the pig of
the Yellow Creek furnace, and which produced the first
hammered bars of the State. The second furnace in
the State was erected on Brush Creek, Adams county, near
the Ohio river, in 1811. In 1812, James
Heaton built a furnace at Niles. Daniel
Eaton & Sons, in 1813, purchased the Yellow Creek
furnace, and also built another on the same creek, at
the falls, two or three miles above. Thirty years
Pg. 66 -
afterwards the business of making iron with bituminous
coal in a raw state, in the United States, originated in
this vicinity. The history of this great industry
is worthy of attention. About 1815, Aaron
Norton, of Middlebury, near Akron, put a charcoal
furnace in blast, using a water power half a mile above
the village. In 1819, Asaph Whittlesey
built a forge on the Little Cuyahoga, a mile and a half
below Middlebury, where the present railways cross that
stream.
The new business soon began to develop rapidly in the
Lake Shore region. Along the northern slopes of
the sand ridges, which lie near to and parallel with the
shore, are frequent beds and bunches of bog iron ore,
deposited from springs that issue from the ridges.
It is a lean ore of about 25 per cent., but makes a soft
and valuable metal, especially for castings. Most
of it was run into stoves, kettles and other hollow ware
for domestic uses. These establishments are now in
ruins, and their localities have passed from the public
remembrance. As most of their proprietors needed
capital, and however energetic they may have been most
of them were unfortunate in the results. We will
do something to preserve their memories, by inserting a
condensed abstract of the owners and situations of the
old charcoal furnaces of the Reserve. They were
not then, as iron works are now, a presage of personal
wealth and position. With the pioneer iron men it
was an experience of toil, perplexity and risk, that
more often ended in pecuniary ruin:

In July, 1845, Himrod & Vincent, of
Mercer county, Pa., blew in the Clay Furnace, not many
miles from the Ohio line, on the waters of the Shenango.
About three months afterwards, in consequence of a short
supply of charcoal, as stated by Mr. Davis,
their founder, a portion of coke was used to charge the
furnace. Their coal belongs to seam No. 1, the
seam which is now used at Shoron and Youngstown, in its
raw state, variously known as "Free Burning Splint" or
"Block Coal," and which never makes solid coke. A
difficulty soon occurred with the cokers, and, as Mr.
Himrod states, he conceived the plan of trying
his coal without coking. The furnace continued to
work well, and to produce a fair quality of metal.
At the same time Messrs. Wilkinson, Wilkes & Co.
were building a furnace on the Mahoning, at Lowell,
Mahoning county, Ohio, intended to use mineral coal from
seam No. 1, on which they owned a mine near Lowell.
A sharp correspondence occurred in 1869 between the
partisans of the Clay furnace and those of the Lowell
furnace, as to their priorty priority
in the use of raw coal. The credit of making the
first iron with raw bituminous or semi-bituminous coal,
in the United States, belongs to one of these firms.
An account of the blowing in of the Lowell Furnace, on
the 8th of August, 1846, may be seen in the Trumbull
Democrat, of Warren, dated Aug. 15th, 1846, where it
is stated that to "these gentlemen (Wilkinson, Wilkes &
Co.,) belongs the honor of being the first persons in
the United States, who have succeeded in putting a
furnace in blast with raw bituminous coal."
According to Mr. Wilkes, writing from
Painesville, Apr. 2d, 1869; this furnace was run with
coke several months, but at what time it does not state.
It is admitted that Mr. David Himrod, late of
Youngstown, produced the first metal, with raw
coal, about the close of the year 1845, and has
continued to use it ever since. The friends of
Wilkinson & Co. claim that it was an accident, and a
necessity, while their works were built and intended for
raw coal.
Our exhibit of the coal trade in the Mahoning Valley,
establishes the fact that this mineral is to be found
here in inexhaustible quantities. And our theory
that ores can be brought to the coal and made into iron,
and iron manufactured into its various uses, at a
greater advantage than by transporting the coal to iron,
is also an undisputed fact; but in order to satify
the credulous, and to obviate any possible chances of
contradic-

tion, and the appearance of partiality in our arguments,
we have compiled the following table, showing the number
and the names of the furnaces now in operation in the
Valley, using this fuel in the manufacture of pig iron,

In the
Mahoning Valley there are now in operation nine rolling
mills, where all kinds of merchant iron is made.
Connected with these establishments are factories for
the manufacture of nails, spikes, nuts, washers, &c.

The number of
men employed in these works is reported to be 2,445,
whose wages amount to $1,656,000 per annum. The
capital invested in these works will not fall short of
$6,000,000.
Apart from these there are in operation, in Youngstown,
Girard, Niles and Warren, foundries, machine works, nut
and washer works, spike works, &c, which do a very large
business in these branches, and which swell the value of
the manufactured products in the Valley to many millions
of dollars annually.

of widths and kinds, enable them to fill
with dispatch any order for churches,
hotels, halls, &c., at any distance.
This house was established in 1872, and is
now entering its third year, and, in spite
of strikes, the panic and hard times
generally, has done double the business the
past as in the previous year. They
make great efforts to keep the different
departments of their business stocked with
the choicest patterns, and to keep their
prices as low as any house in the State, and
to represent their goods exactly as they
are. They have gained an enviable
reputation for reliability and square
dealing, and their constantly increasing
trade, coming form all parts of the State
illustrate the importance of Youngstown as a
commercial point; and the fact that many
customers, after visiting other cities, have
placed their orders with them, speaks
volumes for their prices and assortment. |

MACKEY BROTHERS
Among the numerous and enterprising firms in
our thriving city, there is none that leads
the one whose name heads this article.
Sicne they began business, about three yeas
ago, none doing business in their line have
done so much to increase its growth and
enlarge its boundaries. They are _he
most expensive Real Estate Dealers in |
|
|
the city. They own
valuable property in various parts of the
city, and are the original proprietors of
what is known as West Youngstown, situated
between the city proper and Briar Hill.
This plot of ground embracing seventy acres
is situated on a beautiful eminence on the
north side of Federal street, along which
the contemplated street rail road is to be
built the coming spring. So large a
number of lots have already been sold as to
assure its rapid growth. There is
still a considerable number of these very
eligible lots in the market. This firm
has also a fine body of building lots in the
neighborhood of the "Valley Iron Works,"
where they have by their extensive sales
made quite an addition to the city.
The liberal terms upon which they sell their
property puts it within the reach of every
sober, industrious man, to secure a home for
himself and family. |
