FREDERICK COUNTY.
FREDERICK COUNTY ranks with the largest counties, having an area of 642 square miles, and is bounded on the North by Pennsylvania, on the East by Carroll County, South-easterly by Montgomery County, South by the Potomac River and Virginia, and on the West by the Blue Ridge, or South Mountaina, separating it from Washington County.
This is one of the richest and most beautiful counties of the State. The soil is mostly limestone, with some alaty and considerable "red landa." The surface is undulating-partly mountainous-the Catoctin Mountaina dividing the county into two broad valleys, that to the Westward being known as the Middletown valley, which is drained by the Catoctin River and its branches ; and that East of the Catoctin range is the valley of the Monocacy. Both rivers flow Southward into the Potomac. These two great valleya are unsurpassed for rural beauty, and excellent farming, and produce extraordinary crops of the principal grains of this latitude. The Eastern slope of the Catoctin Mountain is a most excellent grape country.
The county is well watered by innumerable pure springs which flow into the branches of the rivers before named, and create abundance of water- powers which are improved by large grist and saw mills, and merchant or flour mills. There are also a number of other mills, tanneries, and varioua domestic manufactures. An immense water-power unimproved, exists on the Potomac River at Weverton. The narrow valley between the Monocacy and Buckeyatown has a rich deposit of a marl composed of lime and earthy substance, which extends to a considerable depth; this with the limestone yield an inexhaustible supply of manure.

Copper mines in the Linganore section have been worked since the Rev- olutionary war. Near Liberty and New London are several mines, now extensively operated. There are several slate quarries, one of which near ljamsville on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad produces a large supply of excellent roofing material. Along the side of Catoctin Mountain iron ore abounds, of the brown hematite apecies. Some of these beds although worked for 80 years seem to be inexhaustible. From Woodsborough to the Potomac is a range of limestone marble unusually pure, varying in color from blue to dove color. It takes a beautiful polish, and is similar to the famed Italian marbles of that color. At the foot of Catoctin Mountain there is a similar bed, and one resembling verde antique. West of Frederick is another kind of variegated shades of light and dark red, and on the West side of Monocacy is found the variety widely known, from having been used for the columns in the old hall of the House of Representatives of the Capitol at Washington. Frederick County is centrally traversed by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, with a branch from Point of Rocks through Montgomery County direct to Washington, materially shortening the distance from the West to the National Capital, at the same time affording needed facilities to the local sections through which it passes. The Chesapeake & Ohio Canal runs along the Southern boarder near the Potomac River, and the Western Md. Railroad along the Eastern boarder to Hagerstown and Williamsport, with connections at the York Road in Carroll County with the Frederick and Penn- sylvania division of the Pennyslvania Railroad Company, for Frederick and other points in the county. The county enjoys good facilities for transporta- tion to all sections and is rapidly increasing in wealth and prosperity.
