The usunl timber oa the Patoka bottom is elm, trater muple and gum. Occasionully n ohoico tract of sandy loum ivill exhibit a fuir growth of beech, sugar, poplar aud over-cup onk. Large rufts of poplar logs aro Hoated doin the Patoka River.


FRIGITE.


The olitunte und soil of Dubois County aro ivell suited to the growth of tho tender fruits. Ilere the pear and the peach are free from many disasters inoideut to a more uorthero clime. Tho yonlity of tho fruit is excellent, and it is to be hoped that the people of this county ivill resp und enjoy tho satno luxuries and tho suque profits that uceruo to the citizens of the counties east and west of thom.


IS ITEn FACILITILS


The county is abundantly supplied with inter. The East Fork of White River Iraverses tho greater part of the northoru boundary, and Patoku River dowe from cast to west through the center. These, with their numerous branches, courso to ulmost orery part, affording fine sites for mills, factories and shops, and supplying the former with nhununnco for stock and farm pur- Money. Hunloy's Creek troverses a promontory-liko ridge, which soparates the wotors of the Putokn from those of the Ohio, und offers a level guteway to the engineer through tho mussivn annd- rock for u raitwny seeking n worth. eru outlel.


MIVELL.119.


The mining Interests of Dubois County aro still in the future. With plenty of timber for fuol there has been uo demand for conl, except the small amount needed for smithy' uso. When port or ull of tho different railroads proposed shall have been finished, means for the outlet of these minerals, so nbuuilantly given to this county, wvill causo new tuines to be opoued, nhil mechanical aud manufacturing establishments nad the spirit of progress ivill infuso new rigor into evory artery of life.

COUNTY HISTORIES .- CONTINUED,


STONI.


The " subcarbouiforous" or " conglomerate" sand-rock of. this county is well developed and will yielil an unlimited atnount of stone quitable fur superstructures as well as foundations. Fresh from the quarry, it is soft and easy to werk, but hardens on exposure to the air. At Huntinghurg lhe quarry sudstoue is heavy hodlileil with bandy from oue tu twy fret thick. To the northwest it becomes coarse unit uinsvivo, and half wny between that Loin Aud Jasper atlains a thickness of sovonly feet and forms a high ridge which is traversod hy several creeks following north to tho Patoka. In the eastern port of the county tho misuve conglomerate anudstone is an itupor- tant feature. Like a great wall, it encloses the true coal basin, and from ita sides several spurs are thrown out, one of which continues entirely ucross the county to the west, south of the Patokn River. A bed of choice glass soistono is situated on the form of Willinin loggett. Oa exposure to the air it disintegratos and becomes whito auil will prore n valuable article of trade.


Iu the valley of Darison Creek, A gruul article of limestono is feund. Whon the projected railway frout Rookport, Spencer County, to Loogootec, Martin County, is completed, it will traverse this valley, which abounds in choice building material that is ncedeil iu other counties To the agricul- turist tho ninplo nud cheap yupply of lime which may be hore olstained will prore a source of much profit and will be a blessing.


PAINTN.


At tho town of Ferdinand is located the paint mill of the .. Anderson Valley Mining Company." The mill lins a capacity of 2,500 pounds per day anil tho supply of the mine is unlimited. The quality of tho paints is er- collent. 'I'ite only want is cheop transportation, which the proposed railrond will supply. Paint stones aud ochers ure found in almost every hill-top around this town. This locality is supplied with almost every kind of inin- cral needed in the mnoufaelure nf points, and, on account ef tho remarkuble freedom fromn milica, washing is unnecessary


OTILEH ORES,


In connection with the subcarboniferous sandstone, extensive beds of iron ore oceur. Ihighly silicenus, they will he valuable only to inix ivith the purer ores of Missouri and Michigan. In the iveslern anit southeru parts, kidnoy oro nbounds sufficiently to justify exploration. It is barely possible that oflier metals oxisi,


COAL.


The conl ,leposits uf Dubois County, although thinner than those of other counties, will he found ample fur ull home demands for mills, factories, glass iForks, potteries, etc., nnil also atford n generous allowance for export. The entire uren of the county is underlout with roal, excepting only the high- loads, commencing a short distanco north of Birdseye and extenling to the northern boundury. Even ia this aret occasional ouleropy will he seen, though of no great extent. In the valleys the coal seam is usually from two to four feet thick. In the western port it is generally a caking cool, while at tho centor it is almost one-third block, the balance caking or semi-bluek. At smino localities the block coal is in the middle of the senm, at thets within & distauer of a few miles ; the sume coal may be either ut tho top or the bottoto, the caking stratum interchanging with it.


Part of the coal offerel for chement analysis showed a strong per cent. of carbon and is compact, generally splinty, of vitreons luster, und sn freo from charcoal ilust as to make it plessaut util lesirable for parlor use as well as that of the iron master.


AGRICULTURE


Iu this county, in the year ISih, lund ivas valued at only $5.81 per nere. The soil is unt well adapted to agricultural pursuits, and the attention of the citizens shouldt he moro drawn to the development of the mineral wealth. The ontiro tax value, the same year, of all property, iurluling real and per- sonnt, wus $1,107,677.


The population in the mindlo und enstern part is almost entirely of Ger- man lesceut. The Catholic religion prerails ; the seet erecting Inrgo eburches in the vilenges of Celestin!, Jasper, St Anthony, Henrysville and Ferlinnnd. Moravisu Hullanilers occupy the neighborhood of Huntingburg Porters- ville and Holland. These branches of the German race form communities to gomo extent isolated from the balance of the Stato. The German language is generally spoken. These people retain many of their old-fashioned eus- toms and bnbits of tho " Fatherlund." Fete duys take the place of tho or- dinary world festirnis. Tho men nre neted for their frugal thrift, ehnracter- istic of their raco, and the women and girls often share the toils of the shep and the fichil. Houce, s good, substantinl oluss of people occupy the tusin portion of Dubois County, who, though not so rapid in the derelopment of the county, are generally free from debt aud " well to-do" in the world.


OROASIZITION.


Dubois County was organized in 1871, aud named in honor of Toussaint Dubois, who led the spies and guides in the Tippecanoo campaign, and who, for many years, wid a merebunt nt Viucenues.


The first court was held at the enbin of John MeDonnel, three miles south of the village of Portergrille.


The I'residing Julge irns Juitge Doty ; Associates, Arthur Harbinsou sud Willing lones. For some time tho county business was trainsnoted by a Board of County luslices and the oule county others necessary were a Clerk and Sheriff Simon Morgan filleil the former office, uud Thorens llope the latter. Portersville iras Exed ou ay the county seat, but as it was located on the northern boundary of the county, it was objected to, and in 1850, the county sont way rrmoi ed 10 Jusper.


The olil log building, used as tho coututy court house and jail, nt Porters- rille, ure still stamling. Hunting and fishing were part of the dirersions of the law yers ond judges thore; nut nll journeys to atul from the rouuty seal trere innde on horseback.


B. B. Elminnsou ins the first Tux Collertor, nud filled that oflico for several years. In 1830, n dowution wus mwly by the Inlow brothers, Benjamin, Henry atul Jncub, and the county sont removed. This was situnted urar the central fuirt of the county, which fuet led the county authorities to accept the ilonntion, nul wny, also, quito acceptable to the citizens of the county.


These brothers, writh tho ail of B. B. Elmonson, Sr., B. t. Ealumnusun, Jr., Jntues Rioby nuit Major Bowers, ereeteil the necessary county hoiblings. In 183't the court house was destroyed by fire, nail ull the county records lost. Tengosary buildings were at ouce built aud used till the year 1814, when n twick court house nul juil were crected. An muldtition wus minste to the court lintise in 1876.


At the organization of the county, in 1817, the Board of Justices di- videl the county into six ciril townships. This division remained until the year INil. when n relirision was intule, and the number of townships iloubleil.


In 1811, Colnnel Elmonsou was elected to the office of County Clerk, ubil luwy hield the office continually since.

The county is in the Second Congressional District, represented by Hon. Jesse D. Williams, and coutains n voting population of 1,581.


ELBLY SETTLEMENT,


The first gettler was John McDonuel. lle came from Virginia, in 1802, anil located near an Indian trail, in the northera part of the county, at & plnco then called " Mudholes." This ivas near a line of march followed hy General Harrison in one of his Indian campaigns. The trail can still be fol- lowed in many pluces. Ero a year's tune had elapsed, ho was followed by two or three of his brothers, William Curry, James Tolly, Arthur Harbinson, Jountlina Walker, the Lemon family and others.


The early settlement was in the northern portions of the county, branch- ing toward the southern and entlern.


About the year 1840, a Catholic priest, Joseph Kundek, a man of much ability, came to the southern portiou, purchased considerable land, and go- ing to Germany, brought over a colony of Catholic Germuns, who have proved valuable citizens. Others followed them, until now they comprise the muin portion of The populace there, aty are all noled for the frugal thrift characteristic of their race; auil, in the main, are in colufortable circum- stanecs. Hero, the Catholic religion prevails, and in the villages of this part, Inrgo churches are erected Many make an annual pilgrimage to St. Meinml, in Spencer County, where the largest monastery of tho Slate is sit- ustel, aud where, on the bill named Mount Cosina, the most sacred religious festival of this sect is yearly celebrated in May.


The other portions of the county ure settled by English, many of whom came from the South. The Protestant religion prevails in these portions.


THE COUNTY SEAT.


Jasper, the county seat, is located in the central part of Dubois County, and contains a population of about 1,200. It is on the proposed line of tho Cincinnati, Rockport & South westoru Railroad, already completed to Hunt- inghurg, some four or firo miles south, and still in process of construction. When This is completed, direct communication will bo opened to the princi- pat Nurthern cities, atl to tho Obio River on the south.


The town was laid out about the year 1930, the original plat being itonited to the county for a county seat, by the Inlow Brothers, who, with tho aid of other pioncers, erected the necessary buildings.


For some time the growth of the place was slow. Isolated from other prints, being connected only by stage lines, which, in many portions of the year, ivore unable to mako regular trips. This and other causes retarded the growth of the town.


As the county continued to fill up with people, and the richness of the mineral ileposits became known, energetic men, possessod ivith the necessary capital, isere attracted thither, anl of late years the town has grown quite mspidly. It contains the usual number of stores, shops and small factories incident to such towns, and supports a good graded school and several churches.


The Courier, a paper Democratic in politics, is printel here. It is owned by Clemout Donne, editor, and has a circulation of about 300 ropies weekly. It was established in 1968.


HUNTINGBURG


is in the sunthoru part of tho county, on the line of the proposed railway from Rockport to Esogootee, mlreally referred to. It is a thrifty village, containing several steam mills, mechanical establishments and extensive warehouses. It is in the midst of the tobacco region, and exports large amounts of that article. It is next in size to Jasper, and is one of the most important lowns in the county. The population is near 400.


The Signal, a German paper, is published here, and enjoys a circulation of about 600. It was established in 1844


FERDINAND


Is in the southeastern portion of the county, surrounded by a fruitful soil, aud a happy, industrious people. To this tutter it is greatly indebted to the efforts of tho Catholic priest, whn huy looked after the temporal as well as the spiritual welfare of his charge.


The paint.mill of the " Anderson Valley Mining Company " is located here and is the main object of interest.


The town contains a number of stores and shops, supports a school and a large Catholic Church. The population is about 200.


PORTIRSVILLE,


the first county seat, is now a small, onlinury country village |of some 200 inhabitants.


HOLLAND,


in the southwestern part, is one of the best county tourny. The villagers are mainly Germans, and professors of the Catholic religion.


MILLERSPORT,


in the western part, is the main town in l'utoko township.


OTHER TOWNS .IND 1 ILLAGES.


The other toirus are: Haysville, Ludtow, tillham, Kellerville, Ireland, Leland and St. Joseph. Each town contains a population of from eighty to 100, and supports s grailed school, and one or two churches.


In nlt, thero are eighteen post offices in Dubois County. Railway facilities for transporting the mineral wealth, surrounding there towns and villages, is much needed, und it is hoped the citizens will see tho benefits arising thorefront, Alul bring to themselves tho luxuries enjoyed by the citizens of tho counties north of then.
