Excerpt from The Annual Report of the Inspector of Mines of the State of Kentucky: For the Year 1900
The hunt for minerals of every kind known, and of many un known to our State, continues without abatement, and every publication and possible source of information are eagerly sought by those in search of such knowledge. No section of the State is' exempt from these inquiries, but the Eastern portion, from the Ohio river to the Tennessee state line, and reaching far out into the interior, claims more attention, perhaps, than all other por tions combined, but other sections come in for a fair share of the general investigation.
During the year numerous specimens were sent to this omoe for examination or analysis, but most of them were of no value. In connection with this branch of my work, I take pleasure in say ing 1 received valuable assistance from Dr. Alfred M. Peter, of the Kentucky Experiment Station, State Chemist; and from Prof. Arthur M. Miller, of the State College, for all which I express to them my sincere thanks.
