dried fruit are prepared in this
State, and in this peculiar branch
of trade 2orth Carolina Is one of
the largest resources of dried fruit
in the Union. In the Piedmont
country the business is pursued
with great energy and skill. The
"orth Carolina dried fruit fetches
the highest prices in the Northern
markets. The trafflc in dried black
berries has also grown into great
proportions and is a source of large
profit. Hundreds of tons are sent
off annually from Guilford and
adjoining counties. The berries
are used in the North for making
a . kind of port wine, and by the
Germans in large quantities in
baking cakes.
TTIE SILK I5DCSTET
Is taking steady root in several of
the central counties of North Car
olina, i In the exposition exhibit
there are specimens from six coun
ties. Weaving the silk has not
yet been attempted in the State,
and the product is shipped to
Philadelphia, where it commands
a high price.
The production of silk requires
small capital, involves little labor,
and only requires an even temper
ature, constant attention and man
ual dexterity.- It furnLihes easy
and pleasant employment 'for wo
men and young children, and the
profits are very great.
Tho wool product is large, much
of it finding a market out of the
State, and a large quantity of it is
worked up at the factories in the
state. At Salem particularly there
Is a large factory for making
woolen fabrics. Excellent jeans
and cassimeres are made at these
mills. Some of theso fabrics are
made entirely of wool, and are
finely dressed. At the Klkin mills
goods made entirely of wool are
turned out, and blankets equal to
anything in tho Northern mar lets
are manufactured tn large quan

In a letter from High Point to
the Chicago' Mining JUrictc, 3Ir.
Charles Mann, mining engineer,
residing at High Point, gives some
interesting and encouraging views
aud information as to North Caro
lina mines. He says:
"It is hardly two years since the
eyes oft he mining public have again
been directed towanl North Caro
lina, and scarcely a beginning has
been made to attack our mineral
ized quarU veins, or the old mines
opened and worked before the war
to depths of from two ' hundred to
eight hundred feet, in an intelligent
manner. Someof these latter mines,
as the Gold Hill, the Kussell, the
Silver Hill and others, having been
tn the hands of men of energy and
capital, have yielded in a coinpara-
r . . i
lively suorc iirae irom one io uiree
millions of dollars, and it is impos
sible to calculate the truth, if one;
tenth of the capital . and engineer
ing skill! had been expended on
them that was employed on the
Comstock Lode alone, Hut instead
of having the benefit of intelligent
management they were worked, aud
to a great extent managed, by slave
labor with tho crudest machinery
imaginable, at the ruins of which
every beholder invariably smiles in
derision. i The j fortunes formerly
made out of these mines hare been
engulfed in the catastrophe of the
rebellion, as tho G0.000 souls were
swallowed up by the earthquake of I sheep.
Lisbon, in 1S.V5. . But during the
past two years we havo laid the
foundation for a miniug industry
that will not waste no much money
as has been squandered in the West,
nor will it be subject in the near
future to innumerable fluctuations,
because few of our mines are tho
football of some stock board, and
because our mine owners try to
produce as i much as possible i ac
cording to their means. Somo of
our deepest mines, with a brilliant
record as to former productiveness,
have been taken up and are worked
now by British capital, as for in
stance the Cold Hill, mentioned
above, in Cowan, tho Hoover Hill,
in Kandolph county, and a number
of others havo been opened by New
York, Baltimore and Boston men,
who go to work with a sufficiency
of capital, and who j bring to bear
upon this new field the experience
gaiuedin former years."
After speaking of tho fact that
mining prospectors as a rule took
foo little time bud were too careless
in tho investigation of our mining
projcrties, he says further:
But whoever comes here, sjwnd
ing a week or) two , at our mines,
can convince himself that coal, cop
per, iron, and j gold i mines can be
bought hcrojfrom the holders of
laud cheaper than elsewhere, and
they will, judiciously worked with
our cheap labor, return a higher
reward than jean bo had in any
other mining territory in tho United
States. We have no mining camps
here in the Wjnstern sense of the
word, booming for a season, at the
end of which tlie inmates betake
themselves to somo other locality;
nor are there any prospectors here,
who stake out; their claims accord
ing to law; here we inspect a mine

I From Lb Wilmlagtoa Kowa
"Within the past balf dozen years
there has grown upi among sporting
men and gentlemen of leisure a
strange fancy for imported or blue
blooded setter dogs. There are
many of the improved species in
the kennels of "Wilmington geutle
men. The majority of the import
ed doga come from the extensive
kennels of Sir Percival Llewellin, a
member of the British peerage,
who has acquired fame and fortune
by devoting his attention exclu
sively to tlie improvement in the
breed of setter dogs. The animals
are brought directly to this country, ,
eucrauy io 2cxr loric, iii-soint
cases to Philadelphia, and there
purchased ; through agents by
sportsmen. rj.ue prices paid, in
many cases, are astonishingly large,
ranging in a few known instances,
as high as $2,000 for a single setter.
One thousand dollars, however, is
considered a high figure, the latter
sum, it is saiu, naviug oeen paia
by a gentlemen in this city for
noble specimen of tho bluest blood.
The imported dogs have many
points of superiority overthemitive
animals, differing as much from
each other as the ! trained racer
from tho country road horse. Blue
blood is "strong and j fleet of limb,
has long,-nno hair, with a tenden
cy to crisp at the ends, well colored,
whatever that means, and is war
ranted to watch his game, raid or
shine, twice as long as the native
specimen. There arc at least half
a dozen infported setters in the
possession of parties in this city,
each of which cost oyer $300. The
best-known man in; the United
States in this line isCene''MaTtin
tho dog trainer. Martin was form
erly a butcher, but the instinct born
within him was too strong anil he
quickly drifted into his natural
sphere. As trainer pf setter dogs,
his charges, varying from $100 to
$200, are a little extravagant, - but
the owner of the pup can re&t
assured that when he graduate's
from Martin's careful and pains
taking hands he is accomplished in
tho highest degree, j 3Lirtiiva plan
is simple. As soon as the gunning
seasons open he takes his dogs to
some secluded hunting ground in
tho South. There he establishes
himself and his pupils. Every 'day
he hunts, going out j early I in the
morning and returning only after
dark. At the end of the; season
his dogs have completed their edu
cation. -; I 'I

Co. is the most progressive, most
liberal, anu successtul m opening
up Avesteni orth Carolina of all
those yet tried; in fact, it has done
more to improve railroading in the
State, and the people and the State
have received more substantial
benefits from it than any other
company that ever had an exist
eucc among us, and) yet it is the
most thoroughly denounced by a
portion of the Eastern people, ; at
least.' This conduct of tho East
looks much like a revival of the eld
prejudice formerly existingbetween
the two sections cf the State.
Tho people of this part of the
State feel just as lively an interest
in Mr. Best's railroad project as
those of the East, but they are not
willing to see the only company
that promises an immediate ami
successful completion of tho "West

one that has yet to make a record.
