RIVER AU SABLE OF LIKE HURON. 



This is the largest stream on the eastern slope of the state, emptying 

 into Lake Huron. In its course it is the counterpart of the Manistee. It 

 rises in the same region, the dividing ridge of the state, and the two 

 streams run in a southerly direction, nearly parallel to each other for some 

 fifteen miles, then turning almost at right angles, the Manistee takes its 

 course to Lake Michigan, and the Au Sable i^ Lake Huron. The region 

 embracing the head waters of both these streams is high and rolling, with 

 numerous lakes, springs > and small water courses tributary to the rivers. 

 The soil is rich, and well adapted to agricultural purposes, having inter- 

 mixed with the pine a variety of other timber of fine size and quality. 

 The pine is generally very large, and is estimated to produce a large 

 amount of clear lumber. On the lower waters of the Au Sable and near 

 Lake Huron, the pine is also of excellent quality, yielding a large amount 

 per acre. No lumbering has been done upon this stream.
