1874Directory

Covers a large area, running north from Weber county around the northern shore of Great Salt Lake, and down the western shore of that body of water more than half its length. It is bounded on the south by Weber and Tooele counties, Great Salt Lake lying between them; on the east by Cache county; on the north by Idaho Territory; and on the west by the State of Nevada. The Central Pacific railroad runs through it from the Weber county line round the north end of Great Salt Lake to the Nevada line, which it crosses north of Buel and some distance east of Tecoma. The eastern side of Box Elder, between the Wasatch Mountains, which divide it from Cache County and the lake, contains most of the cultivated land in the county. The northern and western portions of the county, with a part of the northeastern, afford excellent range for cattle. Much of the county is unsettled, especially west of the lake, being mountainous and of a somewhat forbidding character. Minerals have been discovered in the mountains on both sides of the lake, and a number of mines are being worked with profit, most developments having been made in the Lucin and Silver Islet districts, near the Nevada line. Iron abounds in the mountains close to Willard, and a large amount of the ore has been shipped to be used as flux in smelting galena ores elsewhere. Considerable work has been done in the Box Elder mining district, lying on the eastern side of the county. Box Elder produces largely of root crops, cereals and fruit; and is in direct communication with the east and west by the overland railroad, with Cache county by the Utah Northern and Utah Central, which connect at Ogden. The county seat is Brigham City, the other towns being Willard, Mantua, Bear River City, Dewyville, Honeyville, Samaria, Portage, Squaretown, Beaver Dam, Corinne, Kelton and Terrace. There are in the county four flouring mills, eight saw mills and one shingle and lath mill.

The county seat of Box Elder county, is one of the handsomest and best situated little towns in the Territory, occupying a portion of the "bench" land east of Great Salt Lake, and near the mouth of Box Elder and Wellsville Cañon. It is embowered in shade and fruit trees, and in the late Spring, or through the Summer and early Autumn, presents a very beautiful appearance. It has one hotel, Colonel Chester Loveland, proprietor; and the principal business of that place is done upon the coöperative plan. The Brigham City Coöperative Institution, with 372 shareholders, and a paid-up capital of $120,000, has a store for general merchandise, doing the largest business in the place, a woolen factory, a tannery, a boot and shoe factory, a blacksmith and wagon department, a meat market, a dairy-farm, where a large quantity of butter and cheese is made for home consumption and exportation, a cattle-herd, a sheep-herd, two saw-mills, and one shingle, lath and picket-mill, all in successful operation. The institution is managed by a president, and a board of seven directors, elected annually by the stockholders. A general superintendent and secretary are also elected annually by the directors. The present officers are: President, Lorenzo Snow; Directors, Jonathan C. Wright, Samuel Smith, Alvin Nichols, G.W. Ward, Abraham Hunsaker, H.P. Jensen, J.D. Rees; General Superintendent, Lorenzo Snow; Secretary, Wm. L. Watkins. Over each department there is a superintendent, who has the immediate oversight of it. In Brigham City are also two furniture factories.

Situated on the Central Pacific railroad, and on the banks of Bear River, has been, since the completion of the overland railroad, the principal shipping and outfitting point for Montana. That business has in part left it with the extension northward of the Utah Northern (narrow gauge) railroad, a branch of which has a terminus at Corinne. The city makes merchandising and outfitting its specialty, and during late Spring and Summer, and early Fall, is generally a lively place. It has two banks, an opera house, one Presbyterian, one Episcopalian and one Methodist church, a Masonic Lodge, a Lodge of Odd Fellows, a Good Templars Lodge, and several hotels. Population estimated at about 1,000. George L. Holt, Postmaster. At the beginning of 1874 the following were the
