AN EMPIRE OF WEALTH
PRACTICALLY UNKNOWN.

Between Fleming, Letcher county,
and Jackson, Breathitt county, there
are numerous mining developments,
and yet that territory has hardly be-
gun to be known. Along the l.. & E.
lie thousands of acres owned by. the
Elkhorn Fuel Company, and thousands
owned by various companies that will
soon be consolidated into the Slemp
Company. To Kentuckians the Slemp
Company is one of the most interesting
and to Kentucky will in time become
one Of the most important of all the
coal companies in the state.
The various companies which will
be comprised in the Slemp Consoli-
dated would have already brought to-
gether had II not been for the long i'll
ness and the death of John Mayo In
to this company will be put the prop
erty of some 81 900 acres owned by the
Haley Company; some 10000 acres
owned by the Slemp Company; some
$4,000 acres owned by the Kentucky
River Development Company; and
some 5000 acres owned by the Henry
Company.
Important and valuable as are the
properties owned by the Elkhorn Fuel
Company even that company owns no
property more valuable, nor underlaid
by more important veins of coal than
will be owned by the Slemp Console
dated Company. Already operations
have begun on some of the properties
owned by this company, and as rapid
ly as the railroad can furnish facili
ties, and advantageous lease be made,
thousands Of acres of the land owned
by the Slemp Company will be devel-
oped. What are now desolate waste
places will within few years become
thriving mining towns; streams along
which now there is rarely heard the
sound Of human voices, all within a
few years will become the abiding
places of thousands of miners.
If the people of Lexington, and Of
the Blue Grass realize what wealth lies
under these mountains, what the
growth of the next few years will be,
there will be the closest ties formed
between that section and the Blue
Grass, from which ties the residents
of each section will gain large profit

resolutions:
Resolved, That in view of the mani
fest interest in the Fair held by Law
renee and Wayne counties in 1918, and
the wish expressed by those present

condition of being assured OF sufficient
financial assistance from our success
full farmers AMI business men, hotel
keepers, lawyers, doctors, etc, to en-
able us to defray the expenses neces-
sary therefor.
We had good fair last year which
cost us time, labor and money, and it
is necessary to have the money to pay
for the premiums that many exhibitors
are clamorous for; and for the pur-
pose OF ascertaining in advance of any
notice of the time of holding, will ask
all persons who are desirous OF per
petuating the fair to meet with us at
the city hall in Louisa May 25th, a-so,
on Tuesday, June End, the pre- lat
committeeman and all others who feel
interested are requested to meet at the
court house in Louisa, at one o'clock.
We wish the presence Of our Wayne
county friends on that occasion, as
well as any others from the several
counties in the Big Sandy valley, and
endeavor to form an organization that
will foster and perpetuate the fair.
whose chief aim is to move on the in
tellects of the people for better agri-
culture, horticulture and improved
stock in iths section. 1t is hoped the
spirit for better conditions along these
lines will prompt many to write our
secretary in case they can not be
present.
We are assured by the School Sup
erintendent that the school fair will
join with us, and we hope through our
farm demonstrator, e. S. Kegley, to
have the corn clubs and tomato clubs
to unite with us. If agreeable the dates
will be October 1910.
Our enterprising editor of the Big
Sandy News assisted us greatly last
year and assures us of his full en-
dorsement of our efforts to try again
this year for fair.
II our merchants win follow those
who assisted us last year we can have
dhothei 6iSot cAhipi'ioh a. ouA Souiiey
seat.
We will never forget the kindness Of
the women in the past and we expect
their assistance in all future fairs.
Remember, the time is coming for
action and the result of this prelimi
nary call may settle the matter. We
are willing to work or assist others in
this work, surrendering our places
cheerfully.
