Tlie minor streams are the Fancy, Mill, Wild Cat, Seven ^lilc, iVfadison, Timber, Three Mile, McDowell, Deep and School creeks. Springs arc numerous and copious, and veils range from 2(5 to SO feet in depth. Coal has not been found, but an excellent quality of magncsiun limestone, in layers of from two to six inches, sup- ply an admirable building stone to all parts of the county. The county has good railroad connections, as the Kansas racitic has principal stations at Manhattan and at Ogden ; and the Manhat- tan and Northwestern will soon complete connections with the central branch of the Union Pacific at Irving, and with ilie St. Joseph and Denver City Railroad at Marysville. Water powers could be miule available at small cost in several places, but little has been effected in that way. Fancy creek has been dammed, and at Rocky Ford there is a dam across the Big Blue, which fur- nishes 2,000 horse power to a flouring mill. The manuTactures of the county include a water power grist and saw mill, two wagon and carriage factories, a boot and shoe factory, and a cigar factory at Manhattan ; a brewery at Ogden ; a steam saw mill and a cheese factory at Grant;
