Appalachian Region

Facilitate Opening Resources.

Development of the resources OF
the Appalachian mountain region is
now in its infancy. The creation OF
the Appalachian forest reserve will
prove a great impetus to the section
of the south included in the Appa-
lachian region, which covers portions
Of the states OF Tennessee. West V =
gina, Virginia, Kentucky, North and
South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.
1t is for the purpose of furtherirg the
Appalachian development that the
great Appalachian Exposition has
been devised. to be held at Knoxville.
Tennessee, Sep. - to Oct. IL, of this
year The exposition will include ex-
hibits OF resources and commercial
and industrial products OF the Appa.
lachian region, and will be a compre-
hensive presentation OF the great pos
sibilities Of that section, which is one
OF the richest in the whole world.
Coal, iron. gold. silver. lead, zinc. cop
per. barytes, marble. timber and rich
hardwoods are among the natural re.
sources Of the Appalachians. All
these are being extensively operated,
but the development now under way
is meager as compared to what win
be accomplished as a result OF the
publicity given this section through
the Appalachian Exposition next fall.
1t is confidently expected that $5v,OOO
people viii see this exposition, which
will be upon a scale surprising any
