successfully in horticulture, who depend
upon this exclusively for their living.
The honey industry amounts to consid-

Towns of the County.
The most important towns of Carbon
county are Price, Castlegate, Helper,
Scofield. Winter Quarters, Sunnyside
and Wellington. Price, the county seat
and the most important station in the
matter of receipts, both incoming and
outgoing, is the third on the line of the

Mountain, with prospects of those two
camps coming into prominence in the
near future as regular producers,
which will add to the wealth of the
county, and has already had the effect
of inducing considerable eastern capital
to come into the county, notably the
American Producers Controlling COM
pany of Boston. Mass, which has pur-
chased several hundred acres of land
on the bench south of the present town
of Marysvale. This is intended as a
new townsite, and already a number
of lots have been sold and many new
buildings are in course of erection.
Considerable interest has been CEN
tered of late in some copper properties
river. and while it is yet undeveloped,
the indications are that with the COM
ing of spring there will be an influx Of
mining men into that section.
Endless Grazing Accommodations.
The principle resorces of the county
are farming, sheep and cattle raising,
and while the last two years of drouth
in this as well as other southern coun-
ties has caused a scarcity of feed and
water, yet in normal seasons the high
mountain ranges furnish excellent
grazing during the summer months and
a place for the snow TO lodge in the
winter, which, as a rule, furnishes am
pie water for irrigation in the summer.
The year just closed has been a pros
porous one for all branches of industry
in Piute county. Cereals and hay are
commanding top prices, and the price
of cattle has reached the highest point
in years. The sheepmen are also made
happy by a heavy advance in the price
of wool. The prospects for the future
were never brighter, as there is more
snow in the mountains now than at
any time for two years, insuring an
abundant supply of water for next sea-
son.
Coming of the Railroad.
The advent of the Rio Grande West
ern railroad. which has its grade near
ly completed to Maryrvale, and line
surveyed on through the county, will
mark an epoch in the history of our
county, as we. have been compelled to
travel down a canyon nine miles from
the Vale to Belknap, or over a high
range of mountains to Elsinore, in or
der to make connection with the rail-
road.
The names of the principal towns in
the county are Marysvale (not Mary'S-
vale), as it is generally written), locat-
ed in 1865; Circleville, located in 1867;
Koosharem, located in 1870, and juno

and the several railroad interests and
other enterprises where there are num-

Livestock Industry.
Next to agriculture the livestock in
dustry is perhaps the most important.
There are thousands upon thousands
of acres of fine range in Carbon coun-
ty over which at all times of the year
there are thousands and thousands of
lead Of cattle roaming, and one might
say millions of head of sheep. The
great herds of sheep that are taken into
the mountains of the north and the
west during the summer to range in
the hills, migrate to the lowlands of
this county in the winter. where the
range is such that unless the winter is
extremely rough they are capable of
subsisting without any feed whatever
During the year there are sheared in
the county something like 100000 head
of sheep, and while some of them are
driven in from the outside for shearing
purposes. the most of them belong to
Carbon county owners.
The breeding of horses is also an i'm
portant industry in Carbon county,
which brings in thousands and thou
sands of dollars each year. having been
particularly profitable the past twelve
months by reason of the fact that
heavy purchases have been made here
for the cavalry of our own country and
also of England.

grow in other portions of Utah and

Mineral Resources.

The mineral resources of the county,
aside from coal, are varied. There is
copper in many portions and silver and
gold in the mountains to the west of
Price. with some nickel and zinc. In
the vicinity of Sunnyside and along
the Vernal road there are great de-
posits of asphaltum and gilsonite. The
people have been too busy at farming
in the past and at stock raising to give
these things the attention they deserve
and would certainly receive in any
other country in the world. There is as
good a field in Carbon county today

pector as exists anywhere in the world

ence. The development of the coal
beds in Whitmore canyon to the east
of them will give them market second
to none in eastern Utah. Good schools,
churches and intelligence are in evil
dence, and the time is not far distant
when the farmers there will be feeding
this part of the state. The soil is not
exceeded anywhere in the west. The
Hills canal, which comes out of the
Price river just below Helper, will re-
claim many thousands Of acres of land
in that section. TO say nothing of 10000
acres before it passes by the town of
Price. The canal is now below Price
two miles and will next year be ex-
tended. The biggest price ever received
for a ranch was that handed over to
c. II. Taylor lately for his place just
below Wellington. There are less than
700 acres. and the figure was $4,000.
Sunnyside, up Whitmore canyon some
twenty miles from the town of Mounds,
and twenty-eight miles from Price as
the crow flies, is the baby town of Car
bon county. Here are the finest bodies
of coking coal in Utah. The people.
who now number about 500, have just
convinced their Uncle Samuel that they
should have a postoffice. Before the end
of the coming year it is confidently ex-
pected there will be no less than 1000
men there mining and coking the coal
product. There is a splendid agricul-
tural country tributary.

state of the great and growing west,

They are under the direction of Pro-
fessor H. G. Webb a most thorough
educator, a gentleman and citizen who
takes an unusual pride in their main

bon county, and none but teachers of
the highest standing professionally are
employed in any department whatever.
The school population is close to 200.
While the per capita fund is nearly $3.50.
