​
The appellant Black Mountain Corporation owns extensive coal lands in Harlan county, and in 1918 it constructed a mining camp on Yocum creek. This mining camp is now known as Kenvir and has a population of approximately 2,500. It is unincorporated, and the Black Mountain Corporation owns substantially all the real property in and around the town. When the camp was established, streets and roads were laid out; but these are the private property of the Black Mountain Corporation and are used by the public only with its permission. Yocum creek, which is 40 to 60 feet in width, runs through the town in a westerly direction.

​
George S. Ward, secretary of the Harlan County Coal Operators Association, who was keeping in close touch with the rescue work.
​
Moss Patterson, Lexington, chief of the State Department of Mines and Minerals, was reported enroute to Harlan County to lend a hand in the rescue work.
​
pectors of the State Department of Mines and Minerals, rescue squads rushed their drive to the blasted area, identified as having occured in No. 12 left section.

There is no context. Why do such explosions occur? How often do coal mines explode? How can they be prevented?
