It is. well lvnawn that the" 'western part of
ITortb Carolina is roado up of. ancient primi
tii'?;' and Tennessee of more recent roqkfor
r -ticr.i. The boundary between these two
i? generally, porhaps always, within the Stale
cf North-Carolina, and at no great distance
' frcm the line separating the two States-. p
tv.ccn Ashe and Carter counties it' may ct
e:rr,3 points cross the border, so as to give a
r.v primitive rocks to Tennessee. ; On the
tt! ?r hand, a long tongue from the formntions
cf Tennessee enters North Carolina by the
V; tiuga River, the Beech Mountain, Grand,
f-l! :r,and Linyille, and extends quite down
t: t'..2 Catawba in IcDjwell" county. What
fo" relates exclusively to ihe region of the
. pr' :ivo rocks. "
Tl.jth.ree principal kind.s of these rocks,
Gr - V Gneiss, and Mica Slate, are so inter
ml '. . ' a.nd associated that it will bo a work
cf !ilor.;to ascertain the different ficlJi
cfcich, and the limits of those fields. G cel. ,
arJ c: -ccial!y the hornblende variety, appears
lo H more abundant than the others. Of
thi s tha Black jMountain is principally ."com
pec; J. I saw more mica slate in " Henderson
.(soma containing imperfect garnets,) than
anywhera else. A coarse grained granite
abounds in Yancey county towards the head
waters cf Toe River, and on the road lead
ing frci.i Burnsvillo to the Turkey Cove.

" beautiful feldspar, free from any intermixture
of other minerals, bns been observed' on the

sage from Scrivenor s
Trade, pag lSl : j
' ' The cause cf the s
History of ihe . I re a
of the Dun-
Demora iron has never. len explained. Soe
chemists ascribe it to the presence cf man
gamese. Bevulius attrilyied it to 1L3 presence
of the metal of silica, while c! .3 suppose
it to arise from the nature of the p recess em
ployed.. Dr. Thomson was assured by one
gentleman, who had bestowed particular at
tention to the subject, tht by following a sim
ilar process he has obtained as good iron from
pther, Swed.sh ores. ! jt that something is
.dud to the ore itself, is jfcvi tent from the cir.
cumstance that the quality of the iron, though
thesame process is followed, differs a Tod
deal according to the ntirt of the ein frcm
which. the ore is taken. 'Jl
Ffom some unknownj cause llse iron made
at the Cranberry Works, in the northern part
of''ancey", iar, as t arri assured by people who
have used it, of an excellent quality hard
and lough. As there i an abundance of ore
at this locality, if bids fajif' to be the" seat of "on
industry alike profitable! to the proprietors and
useful to the. population of the county, for a
long period. j j
t have visited no other ore bed, and do not
believe that iron is abundant in thii rr"ien,
but I may be mistaken. Mr. Johnston, of
Wayncsville, gave me a very rich specimen
of the magnetic oxidej from Spring Creek,
in Buncombe.- In 1827 I saw in the hands
of Mr. Rothe, in Salisbury, a specimen of
the Spathic Iron ore, hich he told me had
been sent to him from fine's Creek, in Hay.
wood county. This is the ino-t vIj .LIj cf
all the ores cf iron, 63 very tcler:M2 .eel
can be manufactured directly from . I have
never been able to visit the spot from which
it is said to have come,!i and in .answer to my
enquiries for iron ord from that quarter, have
had presented 10 me Foliated Anthophyllite
from the Rich Mount: in. T.i ' 1 I
had from Dr. Hardy, i lv. C;-
born, on Pigeon Rivcrj, and Mr. Jul.; : . j.i, r.t
Waynesvillc. . Such s-jecimens as I have seen
ft re of ho value, the quantity cf iron btinj
small, and the rock id which it is imbedded
so refractory that it would be wrought with
great difficulty. The ihing is worth looking
into. I have sent a small specimen of true
.uiiucore lo rr. Jo:,riiton tor c ...-rruon,
and will forward " -ether to Dr. Dickon, i.t
Ashevillej by the first pp port unity. .
Chronic Iron. This is valuable only for
the Cr.remium it contains. Il occurs in small
grain i dl '.-eminated through the mass of Hit
pentij e near Toe River, on the lands cf jhe
Messrs. Young, in Yancey county. As the
rock is disintgiated by the weatl.r, the grains
fall out and may be collected in considerable
quantities but few that I have seen were larger
than a pea. Mr. Enoch Hall, who lives live
miles from the road, on the right hand as you
west, ct the head of Hominy, gave me r.t
Asheville a piece off yellowish- serpentine
tlr.t was full of small grains of the same sub.
stance. I have mad

the ore of both places.

Amianthus. In the! north western part of
Yancey, on the water! of Cane Creek is pro
bably a larger body of the mineral commonly
called asbestus, but by mineralogists amian
thus, than is to be found elsewhere in 'the U.
S. In some parts of )he world the fibres of
this ." incombustible fhxn are so lough and
pliant that it can be wrought into a coarse and
worthless cloth. That of Yancey ' separates
readily into very minute filaments, but they
are loo brittle to sustain the force necessary
to spin and weave them. I have supposed
that this mineral might come into use in the
manufacture of ths safes that are employed
in large cities for the:; preservation of valuable
papers even when the; building in which they
are is burnt down and that the article can
bo furnished in greater quantity and of a bet
ter quality from North Carolina than from
any other quarter, j But not meeting with
much success in the enquiries I made with
reference to this point, I have perhaps treat
ed the matter with top much neglect. Near
the bed of amianthus, is very fine black tour
maline, or schorl jbf no value to any one
but a professed mineralogist, and 'of but little
to him. Coarse Ky a bite occurs in Buncombe,
on the road from Aheville to Waynesville,
but the precise locally is not now recollected.
