The Bull Head Tower, is located on Mauch Chunk Mountain south of Summit Hill in Schuykill County. One half of the cost was refunded by the Department of Forestry. From the Bull Head Tower a telephone line 1 1/4 miles long was run connecting with the Mahoning Valley Rural Telephone Co., giving service over both Bell and Consolidated lines.
