Railroad Extensions Will Soon Make
Them Accessible.

Barboursville.-While railroad en-
tensions are being driven as rapidly
as modern engineering skill makes
possible into undeveloped coal fields
Of Eastern Kentucky, and a dozen
counties rich in latent resources will
soon be placed in touch with develop
ment forces, other lines are being pro
jected to extend into regions other
than those to be entered by lines now
under construction.
The Wasioto G. Black Mountain rail
road will reach into Harlan county
from the south. and from the east the
Louisville & Nashville, which is fur
nishing the capital for the Wasioto &
Black Mountain line. is constructing
93-mile extension from Beattyville
TO Whitesburg.
Just now interest is keen in a pro-
posed railroad extension from this city
north through Clay and Owsley coun-
ties to Beattyville. and another extern
sion west from Corbin to Somerset,
and thence to a connection with the
Illinois Central railroad in Central
Kentucky. The former extension has
been under construction for number
Of years.
From near this city to Jellico. Tenn,
the Cumberland railroad has been
partly constructed during the past four
years. The projection of the Cumber
land Northern railway north from here
TO Beattyville would be a connecting
link between that city and Jellico,
Tenn, the ultimate terminal of the
Southern's Cumberland railroad. and
a tier of counties at present without
railroads would be in touch with de-
yelopment forces. Pos IDLY hundred
thousand acres of coal and timber
lands have been bought by northern
and eastern capitalists in the counties
of Knox and Clay.
The projected extension from Corbin
to Somerset is of recent origin. and is
as yet on paper, but preparations arc
under way for surveying the route.
