If you ask almost any one which ii
the highest mountain in the United
States, east of the Rocky Moutituios,
the reply will be "Mount Washington,
in New Hampshire," but this is nol
true. By referring to a map of North
Carolina you will notice on its western
boundary the great Appalachian chain
of mountains, which form the dividing
line between that State and Tennessee.
The average height of this chain ex
ceeds 5.000 feet. This part of it is i
bold frowning burrier, neurly 175
miles in length. It continues north
ward as far as the State of l'eiin-yl-vunia,
but its highest peaks and

seen In North Carolina

feet above the level of the sea, but in
the "Land of the Sky" there ure four
teen mountains of greater altitude
than this. Their names and heights
are as follows: Mount Mitchell 6,717
feet; (luoyt's Peak, or Balsam Cone.
6.671; Clingman's Homo, 6,600; Sandy
Knob, 6,612; Hairy Bear, 6.567; CM
Tail Peak, 6,596; Glbbe's Peak, 6.586;
Mount Alexander, 6,477; Sugar Loal
6,401; Potato Top, 6.398; Black Knob.
6,587; Mount Henry, 6,873; Kowler'i
Pyramid, 6,846; Roan Mountain, 6.318.
These are the measurements of Pro
fessors Guyot and Mitchell, with the
latest corrections by J. A. Holmes, ol
the Slate Geological Department.
It will be noticed that the highest
mountain In the list Is Mount Mitchell;
It is 48-.' feet higher than Mount Wash
ington, and every additional foot
makes a difference in altitudes. This
is one of the spurs of the Blue Ridge,
situated west of the main chain, in
