Overview

Excerpt from Coals of Middle Fork of Kentucky River in Leslie and Harlan Counties This report follows an investigation made in 1917 of coal openings on Middle fork, Kentucky river, beginning with hell-for-certain creek and including all the drainage area above that Stream. Nearly every opening in condi tion to examine was visited and to the data acquired from them is added that from several previous visits by the writer to the region. There is omitted from this report, however, all but a few Of the analyses Of coal heretofore given, because Of the wrong impression liable to be given by the inferior quality of the outcrop coal from which the samples were necessarily Obtained. Even the few analyses retained are open to suspicion, although the samples were taken from solid coal underground. The general direction Of dip of Strata is northeast erly. But with several minor variations. Near the mouth Of Greasy creek is the bottom of a. Shallow elliptical basin with major axis running thence northward nearly to Hyden, while in other directions the rim is but a mile or two away, or merges into the general Slope Of strata.
