ONE OF A THOUSAND MONUMENTS TO THE COAL MINER: THESE
MOUNTAINS OF REFUSE FORM A CONSPICUOUS PART OF THE LANDSCAPE OF
THE ANTHRACITE AREA: NEAR SCRANTON
When it is realized that this great culm bank is only the tailings
of the anthracite industry, and that wherever one goes, from Carbondale
to Pottsville, and from Shickshinny and Shamokin to Mauch Chunk,
replicas of it, large and small, may be seen, something of the
immense demand the country has made on the hard-coal mines can
be appreciated.
