The raw material used for about a dozen years by Young, Meldrum and Binney at the Bathgate works in Scotland was a highly bituminous mineral called Boghead coal, or Torbane-hill mineral in West Lothian, which yielded from 120 to 130 gal. Of crude oil per ton. Most of this was used in Scotland, but some was exported to America and the Continent for distilla- tion. In 1862, owing to the supply of the Torb...ane-hill mineral having become practically exhausted, attention was turned to the bituminous shales of the Scottish coal-measures, and they were worked in the same year by Robert Bell at Broxburn, yielding from 40 to 45 gal. Of crude oil per ton. Two years later Young's patent expired, and then followed a rapid expan- sion of the industry. This healthy development, however, soon experienced a check owing to the importation of American oil due to the discovery, in 1859, f natural oil in Pennsylvania.
