Sn : In accordanee with, the ar
rangement made with the Board : of
Agriculture, I entered on the j work
of the United States Geological Sur,
vey, August 15, and organized, under
the orders .of the Director the , Ap
palaVthia Diyisipn, inaking BristoJ
Tenneeiee, the centre of operations.
Hie sweep of the work .included a
Jsjrge and moat interesting section o
this State, and furnished me, an . op-j

cqnnectedlrwith its , resources .and
progress, of ; which, am, sure, fromj
your well imown. interest in ail mat
ters of that sort, you. wilLbe gratified
to have report, however general and
bnex. . . .
The seasonV work of -the, vision
covered, with a nunute''nograpni
cal survey, nearly 2,000. square miles
in this State, lying mostly ' between
the Blue Ridge and Smoky, ' ranges,
from the French Broad and Swan
nanoa, to the Fork of NeV; river,
extending westward through Virginia
and Tennessee into Kentucky. The
members of the . several corps were
gathered from all parts of the Union;
some of them had been on the Rocky
Mountain surveys. The region ' was
thus brought under the observation
of men qualified to observe and
compare and judge ; and the minute
and authoritative information in re
gard to the wonderf al and undevel
oped resources of this part of, the
State, which will be thus diffused
even incidentally throughout ! the
continent, will tell at once' upon it's '
development Some of the most
efficient members of the . Division
were tempted strongly to quit the
service and embark in some of the
numerous enterprises which solicit
attention on erery ' hand. The im
mediate purpose of the topographi
cal work of this season was, of
course, to furnish a basis for geolog
ical work equally minute which is to
follow next year and after. So much
in general Five years ago I visited,
by request, the United States Coast
Survey observers, who were carrying
triangulation through the $d
mont on the summit of the South
Mountains and ithe3 Brushy Moun
tains. Beginnihg.the new triangu
lation from the same summits last
October, I traversed the same sec
tiona bj the same roads. The com
munities flatted ha?e m ft interval
gone forward as with a bound.
There is a most notable improvement

industry if ttill prominent and pros
perous in MiUheJJ and Yancey.
Some of the oldest mines are still
yielding handsome profits, and new
ores of good promise have been re
cently opened. The Boston capital
ists who came to the Museum a year
ago to inquire for a mica mine, have'
purchased the one recommended, and ;
have introduced i anperior mining
machinery and methods, and fln4 It
one of the most profitable mines of
the region. ' And one of the" oldest
mines, near Burnsville, is still yield

This road has opened up r'bne of
the richest sections of the continent,
to.yhich this was the only gateway.
And the six months since the "com
pletion of it has' effected a veritable
revolution, values have been en-
.hanced, more in that time than in' a
century before. Many other ore
beds of the same guality before have-
peen opened in the neighborhood
and preparations are making to
erect furnaces at these points also.
Lumber mills have been planted in
all directions about the terminus of

lion feet of cherry lumber have been

as rapidly as transportation can be
furnished. One mill on Elk river,
near the Grandfather, has. already
manufactured 800,000 feet of .such
cherry timber as the markets t of the'
North have not known before. Here :
are the forests which have been de
scribed in the publications of 1 the

finest on the continent and the typi
