CLAY COUNTY, 1888. WARREN UPHAM. 



Herman stage of that lake. This is about two miles wide and extends north and 

 south about seven miles, limited on the west by the Norcross beach. 



The county is essentially a monotonous prairie, which hardly will bear the 

 statement applied to many other counties " with scattered trees along the water- 

 courses." 



The stratified clays furnish brick, and the boulders of limestone furnish excel- 

 lent quicklime. Brickmaking is carried on extensively at Moorhead, and quicklime 

 is burned at several places, particularly in Eglund and in Parke. N. H. w.
