Beaver ~ Weber County Utah Newspapers, 1894
Population 207,905. Land area, 82.190
square miles. The surface is very mountainous, interspersed with
arid plains, basins and valleys. The grazing and mountain lands
comprise about seven-eighths of the Territory. Irrigation is
nearly everywhere necessary. Wheat, oats, barley, corn,
potatoes, hay and wool are the chief products. Cattle-raising is
a profitable industry, and is often successfully carried on
where farming is impracticable. Gold and silver are largely
produced, as are also lead, iron, copper, coal, and salt.
Manufactures are chiefly those of goods needed for home
consumption, but of late extensive works for the mining and
smelting of ores have been established. Assessed valuation of
property in 1889, $51,917,312
