Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Upper Cumberland Coal Field: The Region Drained by Poor and Clover Forks in Harlan and Letcher Counties Sir: This report is one of those the printing of which has been delayed through delays of printing contractors, as was set forth in my Biennial Report of Progress for 1910 and 1911. The larger part of the field work needed to round out his notes of observations that had extended through about eighteen years was performed during the administration of Governor J. C. W. Beckham, and the re port was so well advanced toward completion that eu order for its publication was made in November, 1907. Delays in printing other reports that had been placed in the then contractor's hands, however, delayed this one, and Mr. Hodge, taking advantage of such delays brought his work up to later date - the last of the report being completed in 1910, during the administration of Governor Augustus E. Willson. Other reports were in the printer's hands still ahead of it but, with Bulletin 14 (goals of the Region Adjacent to Pineville Gap), which has come from the press ahead of it, it was placed in the present contractor's hands July 31, 1911. Though the report has been slow in reaching the public, it is believed that its value will be thoroughly well appreciated by all who have occasion to investigate the field that it covers. Though needing some railroad extensions up the Poor Fork and the location of three or four mining plants now in operation in Harlan and the upper part of Bell - all of which may be put on by hand - the accompanying map will be found to still serve its purpose very well.
