Alta, Salt Lake County PO 26 miles
south east of Salt Lake City, is in the Little
Cottonwood Mining District, and the seat of the
celebrated Emma, Flagstaff, Vallejo, Illinois, and other
mines, which have produced great quantities of bullion,
and created a sensation in the world. These mines have
given the town great activity, though it is difficult of
access, and poorly built. In winter and spring the canon
is rendered almost inaccessible by snow, and avalanches
of the most terrifying character are frequent, coming
from the precipitous mountain sides, and sweeping to
destruction all within their course. Many lives and much
property are thus lost each season.

Beaver, Beaver County, PO and County
seat. Is an incorporated city of 2,000 inhabitants, in
the southwestern part of the Territory, on the
principally traveled road leading from Salt Lake through
the southern settlements to the Colorado and Southern
California, and is 223 miles distant from the capital.
The town lies in a valley between the Wasatch and the
Iron ranges of mountains, and is surrounded by a fertile
agricultural section. In the vicinity are the Lincoln,
Star, and San Francisco mining districts, producing
gold, silver, lead and iron in large quantities, and
rapidly advancing the prosperity of the place. Good
schools are maintained, and saw, flour, woolen and
planing mills are established with other branches of
manufactures. Many good and substantial brick and stone
buildings have been erected within the past few years,
giving the stirring little city quite a metropolitan
air. The U. S. District Court for the First District of
Utah is held at Beaver. One newspaper, the Enterprise,
is published weekly.

Beaver County. Organized in 1856.
Bounded north by Millard and San Pete, east by Piute,
south by Iron, and west by the State of Nevada Area,
9,200 square miles. Assessed valuation or property for
1870, $151,298. Population, 3,000. County seat, Beaver
City. Principal towns: Lincoln, Minersville, San
Francisco and Star. The county extends in a belt of
about 34 miles in width entirely across the Territory
from Colorado to Nevada, and embraces the sterile region
of the Colorado River, the Wasatch range of mountains,
the upper valley of Sevier River, the Iron range of
mountains, and the western hills and valleys, where
extensive deposits of lead, iron, and silver exist, and
which are extensively mined and reduced by smelting.
Minersville is one of the oldest mining localities in
the Territory, and Lincoln, San Francisco and Star
Districts have been recently formed. The predominating
ores are argentiferous galena, iron and gold. Good
farming land is found in the various valleys and the
neighboring mining districts furnish a ready market for
all products. The numerous manufacturing establishments
at Beaver City and the various smelting furnaces in the
mining districts are evidences of a busy and prosperous
people.

Box Elder County. Organized in 1856.
Bounded north by the Territory of Idaho, east by Cache,
south by Weber, the Great Salt Lake, and Tooele, and
west by the State of Nevada. Area, 6,000 square miles.
Assessed valuation of property for 1874, $1,699,400.
County seat, Brigham City. Principal towns. Bear River
City, Call's Fort, Corrinne Deweyville, Kelton, Montna,
Terrace, and Willard City. This is a county of large
area, embracing the northern portion of that great
inland sea. Salt Lake, and is traversed its entire
length of over one hundred miles by the Central Pacific
Railroad. The Utah Northern Railroad, a narrow-gauge,
having its initial point at Ogden, an the junction of
the Union and Central Pacific, from east and west, and
the Utah Central, from the south, extends north through
Bear and Cache valleys, passing the towns of Willard,
Brigham City, Call's Fort, Deweyville, and Hampton, in
Box Elder County, to Logan, in Cache County, and
extending to Franklin, in Idaho. This grand system of
railroads gives every convenience of travel and business
which, in conjunction with the good farming land in
certain sections, and the untiring industry and economy
of the people, have given the county great prosperity.
The land near the lake is generally barren and
valueless, but elsewhere it is valuable for grazing,
culture, and its forests. Bear River flows through its
eastern portion, and in this valley is a large area of
fine agricultural soil. At Promontory, in this county,
took place the historical event of the meeting or the
Central and Union Pacific Railroads, making one grand
line across the continent, and here the last rail was
laid, and the last spike driven, in May, 1869. Since the
construction of the railroad, several new towns have
sprung up, and the county has risen into importance.

Schools.
Brigham City, Box Elder County, PO and
County seat, 57 miles north of Salt Lake City, is one of
the handsomest towns of its size in Utah. The town is
built at the western base of the Wasatch Range, where
Box Elder Canon enters the valley of Bear River. The
creek affords water for irrigation, and by this means
the desert is made to blossom as the rose, and a
community of 2,000 persons is furnished with pleasant
and prosperous homes. The Pacific Railroad crosses Bear
River at Corinne, six miles distant, and the Utah
Northern Railroad has a depot here, thus giving the most
perfect means of communication with the world. The
public buildings consist of a large and substantial
court house, in which religious services are held, and a
tabernacle in course of construction. The private
dwellings are most comfortable structures, and, as
elsewhere in the best towns of Utah, are embowered in
the shade of luxuriant fruit and garden trees. The
greater portion of the business is carried on on the
co-operative principle. In this manner a woolen factory
on the Box Elder, and a tannery, furnish cloths and
leather which are made up by other cooperative bodies;
cabinet and carpenter work is done in the same manner,
and thus wherever the principle can apply, making it, as
near as possible, a self-supporting community. In the
gardens and firms of the vicinity grapes, peaches,
apricots and other delicate fruits are grown, which is
quite unusual in this latitude and altitude, but the
climate is modified by the location of the place and the
coarse, gravelly nature of the soil.

Bounded north by Idaho Territory, east by Rich, south by
Weber, and west by Box Elder. Area, 700 square miles.
Assessed valuation of property for 1870, $1,020,086.
County seat, Logan. Principal towns, Hyde Park,
Paradise, and Wellsville. The County embraces Cache
Valley, which extends north into Idaho, and is one of
the best agricultural and grazing sections of Utah. The
valley is one complete meadow, of excellent soil,
well-watered by mountain streams, and capable of
supporting 200,000 inhabitants. Timber grows in the
canons of the bordering mountains, and coal is supposed
to exist. Cache, or Muddy Creek, flows northerly through
the valley, joining Bear River in the northwestern part.
The Utah Northern Railroad runs, for twenty miles,
through the northern part of the county, passing the
towns of Logan and Hyde Park, to Franklin, in Idaho.

Salt Lake City, Is on the Central Pacific Railroad at
the crossing of Bear River. The river enters Great Salt
Lake a few miles south of the town, and is navigable for
light-draft steamers to this point, one such craft being
engaged on these waters. Corinne is a production of the
Pacific Railroad, and being eligibly situated for trade,
has rapidly grown into importance. Here is the depot for
transshipment of goods and passengers to Idaho and
Montana, and to surrounding localities. It bears the
distinction of being a "Gentile" town, whereas all the
other places of Utah are chiefly occupied and under the
control of Mormons. One newspaper the Corinne Mail, is
published, daily.

Central Railroad, from Salt Lake City to the Pacific
Railroad at Ogden, crosses the county, giving its
settled portion convenient access to the markets of the
world.

Iron County. Organized in 1849. Bounded north by Beaver
and Piute, east by Colorado Territory, south by Kane and
Washington, and west by the State of Nevada. Area, 9,200
square miles. Assessed valuation of property for 187-1,
$-152,306. County seat, Parowan. Principal towns: Cedar
City, Hamilton, Iron City, and Paragoonah. The county
comprises a broad extent of territory, but little of
which possesses available resources. Iron ore is found
in abundance in the Iron Range of mountains, in the
western part of the county, which is successfully mined
and smelted by the Great Western Iron Company, which has
expended half a million dollars In the erection of
furnaces and developing its property. This company's
property does not appear on the assessor's roll, as it
is encouraged by exemption from taxation for ten years
from the date of its incorporation. The product is
large, of an excellent quality of soft iron, and its
prospects are bright. At the base of the same range are
found the best agricultural lands, and some 5,000 acres
are cultivated, about two-thirds of which are in wheat.
Three flouring and three saw mills are established,
supplying the inhabitants with flour and lumber, and
some for exportation to the neighboring mining camps of
Nevada. The resources of the county are but in part
developed, and await the coming of a more numerous and
enterprising population.

Juab County. Organized in 1852. Bounded north by Utah
and Tooele, east by San Pete, south by Millard, and west
by the State of Nevada. Area, 1,100 square miles.
Assessed valuation of property in 1874, $500,000. County
seat, Nephi. Principal towns. Diamond, Eureka, Sevan,
Mona, Nebo, Silver City, and Tintic. These are mostly
mining towns, or districts, and are in a promising state
of development. 'The mountains appear to be full of
minerals, silver, copper, lead, and iron predominating.
At Tintic are four quartz mills, and three smelting
furnaces. Mt. Nebo contains immense deposits of galena,
supposed to be rich in silver, but the wealth is only
slightly developed. Sal is mined and manufactured in
large quantities, both from deposits as rock salt, and
from springs. Near Tintic are large deposits of gypsum.
These valuable resources of wealth invite capital and
labor, but await the construction of the Utah Southern,
or other railroad, through the county. The county is
centrally located, and in a high and mountainous region,
having within it the sources of streams running north to
Utah Lake, and southwest to Sevier River and lake. The
highest land is Mount Nebo, in the northern part, 12,000
feet above the sea, and along the eastern border is the
most elevated portion of the Wasatch Range. The
agricultural area is quite limited, about 6,000 acres
being under cultivation. The principal road of Utah
passes through the county, through the long line of
settlements extending from the northern to the southern
extremity of the Territory.

east by Colorado Territory; south by Arizona Territory;
and west by Washington. Area, 7,500 square miles.
Assessed valuation of property for 1874, $294,702.
County seat, Toquerville. Principal towns: Glendale.
Kanab, Kanarrah, Mount Carmel, Rockville, and Virgin
City. This large county has until recently been but
little known, but the explorations made by Lieutenant
Wheeler and Major Powell, the first through the country
generally and the latter along the Colorado River, our
knowledge of the region has been increased and much
valuable land has been developed. The comity has
received large accessions to its population, and is
rapidly settling up. The Colorado crosses the county,
chiefly hidden in an almost inaccessible canon, which in
some places is from two to three thousand feet in depth.
The San Juan River, having its source in New Mexico,
runs for more than one hundred and twenty-five miles in
this county, and joins the Colorado. The Rio Virgen,
with much fertile land, is in the southwest. The Wasatch
Range of mountains divides the Great Basin from the
waters of the Colorado, and west of this range are the
principal settlements. Fruits of every variety, cotton,
grain, sheep and cattle, are raised successfully, and
considerable wine and brandy are made. Near Kanarrah, in
the Wasatch Mountains, are valuable coal mines, which
are quite extensively worked, the coal making excellent
coke that is in demand at the smelting furnaces of Iron
and Beaver Counties and at Pioche.

Millard County. Organized in 1851. Bounded north by
Juab, east by San Pete and Sevier, south by Beaver, and
west by the State of Nevada. Area, 6,000 square miles.
Assessed valuation of property for 1874, $448,658.
County seat, Filmore. Principal towns: Cave Creek, Corn
Creek, Deseret City, Holden, Meadow Creek, Oak Creek and
Scipio. The chief settlements of the county are along
the mail road leading through the Territory from Salt
Lake to Los Angeles, in California, which runs from
valley to valley, generally along the western base of
the Wasatch or Iron ranges of mountains. A stage and
mail route also passes through the settlements to Pioche
City, in the mining region of Southeastern Nevada. The
main resource of the county is agriculture and
stock-raising; but valuable minerals have been
discovered, and mines are in course of development. The
western part of the county is to a great extent dry and
unproductive. In it are Sevier and Preuss Lakes, two
large bodies of water, without outlet, but into which
several streams empty. The largest of these is Sevier
River, which rises in Fish Lake, in the southern part of
Iron County, at an elevation of near 7,000 feet; then
flows north between the two ranges of mountains, the
Iron on the west, and the Wasatch on the east, for 175
miles; thence, after making a long curve and receiving
the San Pete River, turns southwest, adding 75 miles to
its course, and terminates in Sevier Lake. This is one
of the largest rivers of the Great Basin.

debouches from the canon, furnishes an unlimited
water-power, and a fertile and well cultivated country
creates a large local business. Ogden is 880 miles from
San Francisco, and 1,032 from Omaha, and is the point
where passengers change cars in going over the Pacific
Railroad. Two newspapers are published here, the Ogden

Provo, Utah County, PO and County seat, 48 miles south
of Salt Lake City, lies on the northeast side of Lake
Utah and south of the Timpanogas River, near the mouth
of the canon. The river affords a fine water-power, and
the beautiful lake, with the broad and fertile valley
surrounding, gives a picturesque and romantic landscape.
This is a large, well-built and prosperous town, of
about 5,000 inhabitants, and is reached from the capital
by the Utah Southern Railroad, which passes southward
into Juab County. An important system of manufactures
has been established, consisting of saw and grist mills,
cabinet shops, etc., propelled by the water of the
Timpanogas River. The chief of these is the Provo Woolen
Mills, an immense establishment, erected at a cost of
$270,000, containing all improved machinery and
appliances, and capable of manufacturing 2,000 yards of
cloth daily. The main building is of stone, 1-10 feet in
length by 60 in width, and four stories high. Another
building is 130 by 30 feet, and two and a half stories;
another 70 feet by 30, and another 60 by .30 feet, of
the same height. A large and elegant court house,
costing $40.000 was completed in 1873. The Timpanogas
Branch of the Deseret University has a fine brick
building, and is a flourishing institution, with .300
students in attendance. Fine churches, a theatre,
several school houses, and other public buildings and
many elegant private residences adorn the city. One
newspaper, the Times, is published daily.

Rich County. Organized in 1864. Bounded north by Idaho
Territory, east by Wyoming Territory, south by Wasatch
and Morgan, and west by Cache. Area, (including Green
River) 4,340 square miles. Assessed valuation of
property for 1870, $128,188. County seat, St. Charles.
Principal town, Bloomington. This county is well adapted
to the raising of cereals, vegetables, and stock. It is
well watered, and abounds in excellent timber. The
principal feature is the beautiful valley of Bear River,
and its lovely lake, 30 miles in length by 10 in
breadth, which is well stocked with fish. In 1869 there
were 2,500 acres of land under cultivation in wheat,
with an average yield of ten bushels per acre, the crops
having been much injured by grasshoppers. The previous
yields have been as high as forty bushels per acre. The
wheat is manufactured into flour by the one grist mill
of the county, for home consumption and export.

on the great road leading from Salt Lake to the Colorado
River, and to Los Angeles, in California, and enjoys
considerable trade. The climate is mild and pleasant
throughout the year, though at times in summer is quite
warm. Cotton, sorghum, cane, grapes and other fruits
grow luxuriantly. A fine Mormon temple is in course of
construction, and other conspicuous buildings ornament
the city.

Salt Lake County. Organized in 1849. Bounded north by
Davis, east by Morgan, Summit, and Wasatch, south by
Utah, and west by Tooele and the Great Salt Lake. Area,
1.200 square miles. Assessed valuation of property for
1870, $4,557,032. County seat, Salt Lake City. Principal
towns, Alta, Big Cottonwood, Bingham, Butterfield, Camp
Douglas, Drapers, and Union. This is the wealthiest and
most populous county in the Territory. The lofty Wasatch
Range crosses the eastern part, and the western descends
to the valley of the lake which gives its name to the
county and city. Along the base of the mountain the soil
is fertile, and when irrigated is very productive,
giving large crops of every species of grain and
vegetables. A large proportion of the land is cultivated
in wheat, returning an average of twenty-three bushels
per acre. Apples, pears, peaches and berries are grown
abundantly, and of good varieties, and every industry of
an agricultural people is pursued with a care and skill
that has created within this interior basin a happiness
and prosperity seldom surpassed. The section formerly so
isolated, is now brought into convenient intercourse
with the world by means of the Pacific Railroad, with
which it is connected by the Utah Central Railroad,
thirty-six and a half miles long, running from Salt Lake
City to Ogden. Southerly runs the Utah Southern
Railroad, with several branches, and the Western Utah
leads westward, well supplying the county with this, the
best means of transportation. Within the past few years,
mines of extraordinary wealth in silver, lead, and
copper, have been developed, both in the Wasatch and Oquirrh Ranges, which have added greatly to the business
and prosperity of the county. The most noted of the
mining districts are in the Little Cottonwood canon, in
the Wasatch, and in Bingham Canon in the Oquirrh range,
but numerous other discoveries produce largely.

San Pete County. Organized in 1849. Bounded north by
Utah, east by Colorado Territory, south by Piute, and
west by Millard and Juab. Area, 12.800 square miles.
Assessed valuation of property for 1874, $678,251.
County seat, Manti. Principal towns: Ephraim, Fountain
Green, Moroni, Mount Pleasant and Spring City, with the
smaller towns of Draperville, Fairview, Fayette,
Gunnison and Wales. The soil of the western portion is
well adapted for agricultural purposes, and its average
yield compares favorably with other counties. In pied
valleys. An abundance of timber exists for manufacturing
purposes, and thirteen .saw mills, three shingle mills,
and five furniture shops indicate the lumber trade. In
1874 there were about 22,000 acres of land under
cultivation, one-half being in wheat, which is
manufactured into flour by the numerous grist mills in
the county. Near the town of Wales are extensive mines
of bituminous coal, which is coked for the use of the
numerous iron and lead smelting furnaces in blast in the
Territory. About 50 miles east of Manti, on the Gunnison
trail, are veins of coal thirty feet in thickness.

Sevier County. Organized in 1871. Population, 3,000.
County seat, Richfield. Principal towns: Glenwood,
Monroe, and Selina. The county is divided into seven
school districts, in each of which are from one to three
schools. The valley soil is unusually good, but dry and
requires irrigation to make it productive. For this
purpose six companies have been formed, and upwards of
fifty miles of ditches have been made. Several mining
districts have been organized, and good prospects of
minerals have been obtained, but the developments are
slight. A telegraph line runs through the county, and
stages connect with the railroad. Sevier Valley was
first settled in the spring of 1864, but Indian
hostilities ensued, and in 1867 the farms and
improvements were abandoned, and were not reentered upon
until 1871, since which date the county has steadily
advanced in general prosperity.

Stockton, Tooele County, PO, is a mining town of 300
inhabitants, in the district of Rush Valley, 6 miles
south of Tooele. The mines were discovered and worked to
some extent by the men of the Third California Regiment
of Volunteers, in 1863 under command of Gen. P. E.
Connor, who, being from Stockton, California, gave that
name to the new town. The ores are an argentiferous
galena, and the mines are of great value, the principal
ones being the Silver King, Muscatine, Hannah, Legal
Tender, Leonore, Lincoln and Tucson, and many locations
unworked. In the vicinity are the Chicago, Jacobs and
Waterman's smelting furnaces, and another building, from
which large quantities of bullion, or "rich lead," is
taken. A wagon road from Stockton to Dry Canon, the site
of the noted Mono mine, is in course of construction,
which will add greatly to the business of the place. The
Salt Lake, Sevier Valley and Pioche Railroad is partly
graded and is expected to be soon completed, having
Stockton on the route. Twenty miles of the Utah Western
Railroad is finished from Salt Lake, leaving only about
sixteen miles of staging to the metropolis.

Summit County. Organized in 1861. Bounded north by
Morgan and Rich; east by Rich (or Green River) and
Wasatch; south by Wasatch; and west by Salt Lake and
Davis. Area, 1,250 square miles. Assessed valuation of
property for 1870, $325,866. County seat, Coalville.
Principal towns: Echo, Hoytsville, Parley Park, Peoa,
and Wanship. This is one of the northwestern counties of
Utah, and is traversed by the great Pacific Railroad.
Its surface is quite mountainous, and is very rugged.
The railroad passes through the mountains by the
celebrated Echo Canon, which seems cut for the express
purpose of some such great work. In consequence of the
destruction of crops for several years past by the
locusts or grasshoppers the attention of the people has
been directed to the investigation of the mineral
resources, and great success has attended the effort.
Coal, of good quality, exists in illimitable quantities,
and gold, silver and lead abound. Weber River, with
numerous branches, rises in the southern part, and
several branches of Bear River have their source in the
northern part of this county.

Clerk and Recorder; Edward Allison, Sheriff; Henry
Evans, Treasurer; O. S. Lee, Tax Collector, Assessor,

Tooele City, Tooele County, PO and County seat, is a
thriving town of l,300 inhabitants, thirty miles
southwest of Salt Lake City; sits on an elevated table
land, or bench of the foothills of the Oquirrh
Mountains, commanding a grand scenic view of the distant
lake and desert valley, bordering its southern and
western sides. The rich mining districts of the Oquirrh
Mountains have created a trade that gives the place much
prosperity. The Utah Western Railroad, in course of
construction, now completed to within a few miles of
Tooele, gives easy communication with Salt Lake City.

Tooele County. Organized 1849. Bounded north by Box
Elder and the Lake, east by Salt Lake and Utah, south by
Juab, and west by the State of Nevada. Area, 6,120
square miles. Assessed valuation of property for 1874,
$1,026,415. County seat, Tooele. Principal towns. Deep
Creek, Gold Hill, Grantsville, Jacobs City, Ophir, St.
Johns, Stockton and Vernon. A great deal of the surface
of this county was formerly covered by the waters of
Great Salt Lake, which, apparently, was at one time
three hundred feet higher than at present, and as it has
dried away, has left in its place a vast barren desert.
The hilly portions contain some valuable soil for
cultivation and grazing, and mines of gold, silver,
copper, and lead. The mines in the vicinity of Stockton,
Ophir, Jacobs City, and Dry Canon, in the Oquirrh
Mountains, have attained to great importance, and are
producing largely. The Utah Western Railroad, from Salt
Lake City, enters the eastern border, and is expected to
continue through the Sevier Valley to Pioche. The
overland road, over which the mail was carried formerly,
crosses the county, and considerable travel continues on
it at present. The western portion contains some large
and fertile valleys, and also valuable mining districts,
but it is as yet undeveloped. In 1873 there were 5,000
acres of land under cultivation, of which one-half was
in wheat.

Toquerville, Kane County, PO and County seat, 330 miles
8 west of Salt Lake City, lies on the extreme southern
end of the Wasatch range of mountains overlooking the
valley of the Rio Virgen, and has a population of about
300. The soil of the locality is sandy and rocky, but
the climate is pleasant at all seasons of the year.
Grapes, apples, and peaches are grown in abundance, and
dried in large quantities for market. Wine and raisins
of good quality are made. The southern line of the
Territory is fifteen miles distant.

Utah County. Settled 1849, Organized in 1852. Bounded
north by Salt Lake, east by Wasatch, south by Juab and
San Pete, and west by Tooele. Area, 1,000 square miles.
Assessed valuation of property for 1874, $1,560,175.
County seat, Provo City. Principal towns: American Fork,
Lehi, Payson, Pleasant Grove, Spanish Fork, and
Springville, generally with from 1,500 to 3,000
inhabitants, and all incorporated cities. This ranks
second to Salt Lake County in wealth and population, and
embraces the fairest portion of the Territory. In its
center is the beautiful Utah Lake, a sheet of clear
water 35 miles in length, by 12 in breadth, and is well
stocked with the finest varieties of fish. Several fine
streams empty into the lake, which is drained by the
Jordan River, some 50 miles in length, into the Great
Salt Lake. The soil is generally fertile, and is
extensively cultivated, there being upwards of 1,000
miles of irrigating ditches in the county. The lofty
Wasatch Range runs through the eastern part of the
county, and here presents mountain scenery of remarkable
grandeur. The American Fork and Provo canons are deep
and romantic gorges, cutting through the mountains, and
viewing with the Yosemite of California in attractions
to the tourist. The American Fork Canon is traversed by
a railroad, and travelers have said the awe-inspiring
chasm were worth the crossing of the continent to see.
In the Provo Canon are the Bridal Veil Falls, which are
among the most beautiful in the world. The manufactures
are important and increasing, and general prosperity
prevails. All the towns and villages maintain schools,
churches, and libraries, the moral and educational
training of youth, in the Mormon faith, being attended
with great care. The county is crossed by the Utah
Southern Railroad, and the American Fork (narrow gauge)
ascends the canon to Deer Creek, a distance of 14 miles.
The Deseret Telegraph also keeps all the towns in
instantaneous communication with the busy world.

Wasatch County. Organized in 1862. Bounded north by
Summit and Wyoming Territory; east by Colorado
Territory; south by San Pete; and west by Utah, Salt
Lake and Summit. Area, 9,500 square miles. Assessed
valuation of property for 1870, $102,100. County seat,
Heber. Principal towns: Center, Charleston, Midway,
Uinta, and Wallsburg. This county, in the extreme
northeast, is of large area, and contains lofty
mountains and broad valleys. The Uinta and Wasatch
ranges of mountains cross it in the west, and spurs of
the Rocky Mountains enter it on the east. Many tine
streams rise in the mountain ranges and generally find
their outlet into the Green, but the principal river is
the Provo, or Timpanagos, which rises in the Uintah
Mountains, and, running southwardly through Provo
Valley, breaks through the Wasatch Range in the
picturesque Provo Canon, and empties in Utah Lake. Good
farming land exists in the valley along the river, and
good grazing is found, but the severity of the winter
climate is a great obstacle to stock-raising. Mines of
great value have been discovered of sliver, lead,
copper, and coal, and mining promises to be the
important interest of the county.

Washington County. Organized in 1852. Bounded north by
Iron, east by Kane, south by the Territory of Arizona,
and west by the State of Nevada. Area, 1,890 square
miles. Assessed valuation of property for 1870,
$417,520. County seat, Saint George. Principal towns:
Harmony, Harrisville, Mountain Meadows, Santa Clara, and
Washington. This is the extreme southwestern county of
Utah, and bears the sobriquet of "Dixie." It is
distinguished for its Mountain Meadows, the locality of
a terrible massacre of a band of emigrants by a party of
Mormons disguised as Indians. The Rio Virgen and Santa
Clara run through the county, and in their valleys is a
large area of very productive soil. Cotton is raised
with great success, supplying the manufactories of Utah,
and during the war of Rebellion a considerable quantity
was exported with profit. The cereals, and fruit,
particularly grapes of all kinds, are produced
abundantly, and the county, though isolated, is in quite
a prosperous condition. Much attention has been given
recently to mining, and several districts have been
organized and smelting furnaces erected, giving evidence
of the great mineral wealth of Utah.

Weber County. Organized in 1849. Bounded north by Box
Elder and Cache, east by Morgan, south by Davis, and
west by Davis and the Great Salt Lake. Area, 540 square
miles. Assessed valuation of property for 1870,
$416,774. County seat, Ogden. Principal towns, Lynne,
North Ogden, Plain City, Slaterville, and Union. Weber
County is located in the northern part of Utah, joining
the Great Salt Lake, and is crossed by the Union and
Central Pacific, and Utah Central Railroads, and is
entered from the north by the Utah Northern Railroad,
altogether giving it a most important position. The
Wasatch Mountains extend through the central part, and
send forth numerous streams into the valley of the Lake,
affording means of irrigation, by which large areas of
land are brought under cultivation, and giving great
prosperity to the industrious inhabitants. The
construction of the Pacific and Utah Railroads has given
an impetus to business, and other resources than that of
agriculture are developing. The Weber River is the
principal stream, which, after running through the
entire length of the county, empties into Salt Lake.
