to show where, in the early days of the
republic, manufactures thriyed.
These are interesting facts, not merely
from historical point of view, but be-
cause they show that the South is well
adapted for manufactures; is, in fact,
better adapted than those sections which
have the most factories, because it is
nearer the cotton, timber, iron, coal,
etc, used, and it requires but the proper
effort ON our part to recover this lost
empire. What these efforts should be
Mr.. Tompkins pointed out very clearly
in his address; but the great point in his
address was his clear demonstration of
the fact that the present industrial move
ment in the South is merely a revival of
what this section has done before.

MINING IN NORTH CAROLINA


The stimulus given to the industrial de-
veoument of the South during the year

fuence in stimulating the search for
gold. silver. copper and iron i'll North
Carolina. Those not conversant with
the geology. and consequently with the
metaIliferous ores Of the State, have but
faint conception OF the possibilities pre-
scented in this region for the discovery
of the precious and the baser metals,
nor of the reasonable promise of such
discoveries as legitimate wealth pro-
ducers. The dwenty-four or twenty-five
millions produced in the last three-quar-
ters of the dying century does not seem

indications which lead the prospector
in his search, must be taken into con-
sideration before passing adverse judg-
ment, as some are prone to do. The val
ley and table lands in these regions are
cleared for the grasses and for the pillow,
but the rocky knobs, the cliffs, the crags
and the PERCEPTIONS portions rest undis-
turbed beneath the shade of tree and
shrub in summer and under their fallen
foliage in winter; doubtless hiding
wealth untold. This holds promise for
the future.

In silver, the most notable activity is
being conducted at the old Silver Hill

the Cabarrus county line. This prop
erty was purchased last year by Mr..
Walter George Newman, of New York,
and he has expended many thousands
of dollars in putting the property in fine
condition. The ore taken from the prop
erty include native free copper, cuprite,
azusite. malaehite, red oxide, copper
glace and the green and blue carbo-
mates of copper. These ores may be
seen at the offices of the company in
Salisbury. The extent and character of
the plant being erected at the mines give
assurance of the extent and value of the
ore masses uncovered The other prom
inent copper regions are the Blue Wing
district, which was in the hands of a
Boston syndicate during this year; the
Conrad Hill Mine in Davidson county
and the Ore Knob mines in Ashe coun-
ty There are many other promising
copper veins in the State which will come
to the front if the price of copper holds
up as during the present year.

WATER POWERS IN N. C..

are numerous places whore by the con-
struction of dams, excellent powers
might be secured. The most noted of the
possible powers on this stream is that
known as the Falls of the Tuckeseegee.
The fall here is about 400 feet in about
one mile and over 800 feet in two miles.
Although the amount of water here IS
small a very large power could be Sc
cured with a proper development.
The Nantahala River is almost one
continuous rapid throughout its course.
The fall on the Hiwassee River is in
general well distributed, amounting to
about ten feet to the mile. There are
a number Of places where power develop
ment is considered practicable, none OF
which, however, can be particularly men
toned by name.
From the foregoing general sketch it
will be seen how rich in water power the
State is.
During the past year plans have been
formulated and development work begun
at a number Of places; two on the Neuse,
two on the Cape Fear one on the Deep
River, two on the Yadkin River, one on
the South Yadkin River, two on the Ca
tawba, two on the French Broad, and
one on the Ivy River, representing
total of about 10000 horse power.
At almost all the power localities in
the State the topographic conditions are
such as to make the development com
paratively cheap, building materials Of
excellent quantity can generally be Sc
cured in the immediate vicinity, the
rainfall is comparatively large in amount
and in general well distributed through
out the year and though the rivers are
subject to freshets and TO periods of low
flow the run off from the drainage area
is generally large. Finally labor is
cheap and the climate mild, not too cold
in winter, nor too warm in summer as to
enervate the operatives.
In the search then for powers Of con-
siderable magnitude which can be easily
and cheaply developed and which when
developed can be used to operate manu-
featuring plants under the most favor
able circumstances, these powers Of
North Carolina will be sure in the not
far distant future to receive the recogni-
ton to which they are entitled.

MANUFACTURERS IN THE SOUTH
Present Movement a Revival of What
Was Done Before.
CNew Orleans Times-Demncr!

(New Orleans Times-Democrat.)
In his address ON cotton mills ut the
Press Club the other day, Mr.. ID. A.
Tompkins dwelt at length on a point
which has not received the full attention
it deserves-the early industrial deyel-
0pment of the South. AS he pointed out,
the South was the section of the Union
which first developed manufactures and
made them profitable. 1t built the first
cotton mills and opened the first iron
furnaces, and it proved that manufac-
lures could be profitably carried ON an
America At the very moment when Il
brilliant industrial future seemed open
ing to it and a Investigation of its
industries was promised, it practically
abandoned the field of manufactures and
let New England and the Middle States
capture it. We can now see that ne
gro slavery was one of the chief causes
of this industrial decline. The negro
is not adapted to factories, and returned
the best profits i'm the field. The South
believed that the greatest wealth lay III
agriculture, and, save in few districts,
abandoned manufactures.
The industrial revival now so marked
in the Southern States did not begin the
moment slavery ended for the reason that
the war and reconstruction had so greatly
set them back that it took some years
to recover from the shock. But we have
now fully recovered from that setback
and are moving forward rapidly. What
we are doing for manufactures now is
but taking up again the good work
so auspiciously begun in the earlier days
of the republic.
1t win be remembered that Gov.
Thompson, of South Carolina, called at
tenton to this matter in the Times
Democrat some years ago, pointing out
the early development of manufacturing
in the South and how they 1t arrest
ed. Mr.. Tompkins goes more fully into
this matter, and gives a review of the
early industrial development of the
South. which is of a most encouraging
character since it shows that experience
has proved this section to be, in all re-
spacts, in raw material, fuel, power,
labor and market, admirably adapted to
manufactures.
In the earlier days of the republic, as
Mr.. Tompllins demonstrates, the output
of manufactured goods in Virginia, the
Carolinas and Georgia far exceeded in
value those of the New England States.
They were the great manufacturing
States of the Union, as the census OF
1910 shows, both in the matter of pro
duction and the variety of goods manu-
featured.
Mr.. Tompkins continued rs follows:
There were numerous blast furnaces
and rolling mills in each of those States
and much of the production of these went
to Boston for a market. The present
Henrietta Cotton MILL in North Caro-
lima, is on the site of an old iron works.

quantities to distant ceramic works, and
the Kaolin Manufacturing Company or
the same place is now erecting large
mining and washing plant. There are
other clay deposits which invite atten-
ton but no active work Is now in pro-
gross at any of them. During the com
ing year the Department of Agriculture
hopes to be instrumental i'll securing the
location OF ceramic art and pottery
works in the State.
