Coal mine in Mercer County. Low number 4 for 200 shares to Gilbert McKibbin. Signed by treasurer Paul Wick and president Thomas (?). In 1868, Benjamin Niblock, James M. Bredin, and Thompson Kyle acquired the rights to fifty thousand acres of land, including land in Mercer County and in Pine Township, to lease as coal lands. They believed a four-foot vein of coal (known as the Harrisville Vein) ran through the area and was suitable for profitable mining. Early on Niblock, Bredin & Kyle became associated with the Mercer Mining & Manufacturing Company. Mercer Mining & Manufacturing Company’s principal mines were at Pardoe (the Pardoe and the Monkey Run Mines), Harrisville, and New Hope. The community of Pardoe was laid out in 1869 by the Mercer Mining and Manufacturing Company. City: Pardoe State: Pennsylvania Date: 1869 ID# 37225
