CACHE COUNTY,
Bounded on the north by Idaho Territory, on the east by Rich and Morgan counties, on the south by Weber county, and on the west by Box Elder county, is about thirty miles wide on the northern boundary line, fifteen on its southern, and forty-three miles in length from north to south, contain- ing an area of about 990 square miles. Of this amount, nearly three-fourths is mountainous and elevated " bench " land ; the remainder is fertile and well watered by the Bear, Cub, Logan, Blacksmith's Fork and Little Bear rivers, besides many small streams. The general elevation of the valley is about 186 feet above Great Salt Lake valley. The County Recorder courteously furnishes the following table of towns, estimated population, and elevation above sea level :

The summit of divide between Cache and Great Salt Lake valleys, on the U. N. R. R. line, is 5,000 feet above the level of the sea. Iron is found in abundance in the south part of the valley and in several other localities. Coal has been found in different places in the county, but no mines are yet developed ; and there are good indications for silver and lead in the mountains which bound the valley. Limestone of excellent quality abounds, and an unlimited amount of excel- lent light-colored sandstone, with a very beautiful kind of variegated sandstone.
For agricultural purposes, the valley is unsurpassed in the Territory, producing cereals, root crops and vegetables in abundance. During the past season, over 30,000,000 lbs. of grain and potatoes were produced in the county. The Utah Northern railroad traverses the valley. In the county are eight flouring mills, nine lumbering mills, four lath and shingle mills, three carding mills, one planing mill, and one pearl barley mill.

LOGAN,
The county seat of Cache county, is situated near the mouth of Logan Cañon -a deep gorge in the Wasatch mountains, over fifty miles in length, noted for its wild and majestic. scenery, and its excellent trout fishing. The cañon is easily reached by the U. N. R. R., which runs through Logan, and can be ascended without difficulty. The town is on the east side of the valley, and commands an extensive view, embracing nearly six hundred square miles, bounded by mountains on all sides, except for a short distance where Bear River debouches into Great Salt Lake valley.

much of the county from the keen north wind, and receiv- ing the generous warmth of the sun on a southeasterly slope, Davis county produces the earliest vegetables and cereals grown in northern Utah, its melon crop almost sup- plying the Salt Lake market. It has very fine farming and meadow land, with excellent range. There are five towns in the county, Bountiful, Centreville, Farmington (the county seat), Kaysville (incorporated), and South Weber. The population is variously estimated at from 5,500 to 7,000. There are in Davis county seven flouring mills and three saw mills. Minerals have been discovered in the county, but very little has yet been done towards development in that direction.

IRON COUNTY,
So named from the immense deposits of iron ore found in it, stretches across the entire width of Utah, being bounded on the east by Colorado, on the west by Nevada, on the north by Beaver and Piute counties, and on the south by Wash- ington and Kane counties. Besides iron, there are also ex- tensive coal deposits, and gold, silver, lead, zinc and other minerals have been found in it. The county is well tim- bered, with plenty of range, bearing good upland grass ; but, in the western part especially, there is not sufficient water for irrigation for extensive farming. Iron county contains five flouring mills ; fifteen saw mills, seven driven by steam and eight by water power; about a dozen lath and shingle mills, seven of them in Centre Creek Cañon ; a foundry, rolling mill, machine shop, and other works necessary for the manufacture of iron ; a cotton factory, a planing machine, and a wood-working factory. Population 4,000.

eighteen families under the direction of Governor Young, and the town site of Nephi, the county seat, was surveyed on Salt Creek. On the 3d of March, 1852, the first county court was held, George W. Bradley, Probate and County Judge, and county officers were appointed. In the fall of the same year the settlement was strengthened by the addi- tion of fifty more families, among whom were the present Probate Judge and County Clerk-Jacob G. Bigler and Sam- uel Pitchforth. The Indian war of 1853 compelled the peo- ple of Nephi to build for defense a mud wall twelve feet high and inclosing nine blocks of city lots. Juab valley is the largest and most fertile in the county ; the soil is well adapted for all kinds of grain and vegetables ; and different kinds of fruit have a vigorous and productive growth. Tin- tic, Sevier, Turner and Dog valleys are better adapted for grazing than agriculture. The mining districts of Tintic, Cherry creek, Nebo and Levan contain valuable mines, pro- ducing gold, silver, copper and lead. The Nebo range of mountains, besides deposits of ore carrying silver, contains rock salt, gypsum, and numerous saline springs ; also excel- lent quarries of red, white and blue sandstone. The coal beds at Wales, Sanpete, are situated on the east side of this range. The county has over four thousand inhabitants with six flourishing towns, Nephi, Levan, Mona, Eureka, Silver and Diamond. Nephi, the county seat, has four stores deal- ing in general merchandise, one drug store, two hotels, one saloon, two saw mills, one flouring mill, one lath, picket and shingle mill, a church, social hall, school houses, and the businesses rendered necessary by a growing population. Mount Nebo is one of the highest mountains in the Terri- tory, having an altitude of over 12,000 feet; and its foot- hills contain immense deposits of low grade silver, bearing galena.

KANE COUNTY
Lies directly east of, and is bounded on the west by, Wash- ington, on the north by Iron county, on the east by Colorado Territory, and on the south by Arizona. It is 250 miles east and west by 60 miles north and south, and contains a popu- lation of about 6,000. It was settled in 1857. The principal towns in Kane county are Toquerville, Virgen City, Rock- ville, Kanab, and Mt. Carmel. This county is also rich in minerals, though little has been done to develop them. It is well supplied with timber and grazing land, and has a fair supply of springs and streams for irrigation and stock. Many settlements in Kane county produce wine and an abundance of choice fruit, with excellent syrups, from the imphee and sorghum. In some localities cotton yields well. The eastern portion of the county is especially adapted to grazing and dairying, and is noted for the abundance and excellence of its butter, cheese, and beef. The principal streams in this county are the Virgen, Ash creek, Laverkin, Kanab creek, and Pahrea, with other streams and bodies of water. In the almost unexplored eastern part of the county, there is a delightful climate, with abundance of water, tim- ber and grass, broad valleys of fertile soil; and iron, coal, silver, plumbago, copper, etc., have been discovered. Between Johnson and Pahrea there are acres of prostrate forests of tall trees, completely petrified and changed to "everlasting rocks." In a valley still east of the petrified forest, called " Potato Valley," there is an abundance of the
