On tho side or the Big Black Meun'aln, 309 yards from the Wise County line, In Harlan County, K., there stood until last week a tree that Is thought to be the meet valuable tree In tbe South Appalachian Appala-chian Mountains. It Is curled grain black walnut, and the ownr had It grubbed up by the roots so as not to lose even a chip. A Now York lumber dealer bought the tree from an ignorant mountaineer for $50, paid a man $300 to move It to tho nearest railroad, n 1 thinks he will make a profit of S5000 from the tree. louUrUle Uouner-Journal. |
