Harlan County Town Supports Mining
KENTUCKY....
The Benham City Council in Harlan County recently passed a resolution supporting mining within 100 feet of the city's current water supply. City officials say the coal industry is believed to benefit everyone in the former coal camp town of 600, and Benham can't afford to lose it. At the meeting, Black Mountain Resources explained what would happen if they disturbed the city's water supply. The company says it would furnish the city with water.
