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.

Pg. 63 -

     Church Hill Coal Company's works were opened in 1866, by the above named company, and are located at Church Hill.  The daily capacity of the mine is 450 tons.  The company employs 200 men, and have a capital of $200,000.

Hitchcock, is situated on the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad, two and a half miles south of Youngstown, and was opened in 1874 by the Foster Coal Company.  The works have a capacity of 500 tons of coal per day.  The firm employs 200 men, and owns 350 acres of land.  Their capital invested is $85,000.
     Foulk's Mine was opened by Osborne, Wallace & Co., in 1873; is situated at Mineral Ridge, near Weatherfield, and is now owned by Messrs. Warner & Ormsbey, who employ about 50 men.  They rained, in 1873, 8000 tons.

     Klein Bank was opened in 1868, by the Tod Iron Company, by whom it is now operated.  It is located in Liberty township, and has a capacity of 250 tons per day.  This Company gives employment to 102 men, who mined, in 1873, 17,500 tons.     The capital invested is $65,000. 

     Kyle Coal Company's Mines, owned by J. & D. Stambaugh, Henry Tod, and Struthers Iron Company, was opened in 1872.  It employs 80 men, and mined, in 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 bank, situated about one mile south of Youngstown, which was opened in 1868, the daily capacity of which is 200 tons.  This company is open ing a slope near Youngstown.  The capacity is not yet tested.  The Company owns 1000 acres of coal land

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, with the date of their establishment and their location:
