TALC.-A mountain of pure tale exists in Cher
okee county. North Carolina West of Murphey.
It is termed the g French Chalk :" by tailors, who
use it as a substitute for chalk. It is extern
sively used in the manufacture of fine soaps, and
as an anti.frictonist on heavy machinery and
wagons and carriages moistened with oil. In
the vicinity of navigation this vast formation ~
would be of great value in the arts but where
it is the expenses of transportation would leave
no profits to the miner, and it must therefore
main unused until a dense population with ac-
companying factories encompass it.-Dahioaega
