JASPER COUNTY.
JASPER COUNTY
Is in the extreme northwestern part of the State. It is 120 miles northwest of In-
dianapolis, and 60 miles soatheast of Chicago. It has an area of 550 square
miles, and a population in 1880 of 9,464, and it was estimated, in 1885, at 10,175.
The soil in the northern part is swampj, it being a portion of the Kankakee
country, the river bearing tha't name, being the northern boundary of the county.
The southern part has gentle rolling surface, and is made up of fertile
prairies. The county, when thoroughly drained, will make a fair agricultural
region, but probably will always be better adapted for grazing. Stone is found
which can be used in building. Bog iron ore is also found in a considerable area.
It is easily reached, and will form a source of considerable wealth to the county.
The county has four railroads traversing it, with a mileage of 52.01 miles.
These roads place the county within easy reach of the Chicago markets.
Considerable ditching has been done. Thrre are in operation 32,422 rods of
drain tile.
Taxable value of property, $2,944,471.

Indianapolis, and 100 miles below Cincinnati. It has an area of 380 square miles.

any other in the State.
Along the streams are many beautiful waterfalls.
The county is well watered by numerous creeks and small streams. The bot-
toms along the Ohio are rich alluvial soil, and throughout the county the soil pre-
sents many natural advantages, and skillful farming is remunerative. In some
localities fertilizers are needed and a good system of under draining. Fruit-rais-
ing is a growing interest; the higher portions, being free from frost, yield the
smaller and more tender fruits plentifully. The western and central parts are
well suited to the growth of apples, while grapes of an excellent flavor are produced
with good results; a number of varieties grow wild.
Unlimited quantities of good building stone is found. Good clay for brick
and tile-making b found ; also, a clay for furnaces.

good. There are now in operation 3,950 rods of drain tile. Taxable value of
properly, $7,139,965.
