THE MINE 

 Soft Coal 

 Hard Coal 







The most important soft woods, commercially, 

 are hemlock and white pine, and of the hard 

 woods the oak and maple. From the latter a 

 considerable quantity of maple sugar and syrup 

 is produced. 



The state is doing much toward the reforesta- 

 tion and protection of timberlands; there are 

 three state nurseries and over 900,000 acres in 

 forest reserves. A state commissioner and a de- 

 partment of forestry have been appointed, and 

 Pennsylvania has the only state forest academy 

 in the country. Seedlings are distributed at 

 cost for the growing of private woodlands, and 

 municipal forests may be established with the 

 consent of the commissioner in any city, bor- 

 ough or town of the first-class. The city of 

 \Yilliamsport owes its great development to its 

 lumber and timber industry, but in recent years 



tin re has been a raarkr.l <1< rlmo in this ac- 

 tivity. 



Minerals. Pennsylvania is the leading mm- 

 state in the Union. The output of its 

 mines, excluding the derived products, is about 

 one-fourth of the entire output for the United 

 States, and exceeds the combined production of 

 West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois and California, 

 tli< four states ranking next in the value of 

 minerals. The state's most important mineral 

 product is coal, and in the production of both 

 anthracite and bituminous Pennsylvania far ex- 

 ceeds all of the other states. 



Anthracite coal was discovered in 1768 in the 

 Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania. It was at 

 first considered too hard to burn and therefore 

 worthless, and not until the early part of 

 next century were its use and value learned.
