CLAY COUNTY

Clay County is bouwiled on the north by Parke County, on the cast by Oureu and l'ufunm, on the south by Grerne, andl ou the wrat by Vigo amil Sullivan. Its aren is Atil squaro quiles, or 280, 400 nores. his topography is markrithy no great diversity of surface; the hills are low, nuil presont lint fuir nathird precipices. A large portion of the conalr muy be lermed level, anil from tho troncity with irbich tho clar soil retains water, it is, for n jinrt of' the year, inclineil to hr irrt. theing to the naturo of the soil, in im agri- enltural point of ririr Clay County raunol he sont to sland in The front rank. Tho my hud soil is principally composed of the drift, nud is culd and net, 1 marirs in color from nsh-gray to u yellowish rrd. The tendenvy of yneh soil to holil unter remlers mmlerdraining indispensable lo good oulture. In the

bottoms, along the streams, the soil is, for the most part, a clay loot, with a Rnheoil of ^luy. In the small prairies two kinds of soil exist, one a ilark, blackish muek, the other n bluck, sunily Inam; the former is wet and unpro- durlive, unless denined by ditches, anil exposed by deep plowing to the de- composing nction of the al mosphere. A hesry dressing of lime would prove highly henefirial to this soil. The sandy login soil of the prairies is deci- ledly the best in the county, and is well wlapted to the growth of the cereals, clorer and grasses ; orchorils also do well on this land.

The upland, where uttention has been paid to dressing and cultivation, and especially in favoreil localities, produces good orops of wheat, elover and gross, and here and there inny be seen fine orebords, with choice varieties of fruits, such ns apples, penches, pears, cherries and plums.

TIXIER,

On the uplamil, the principal growth of timber is white, red and black ook, smooth, shell- bark and nocker-nult hickory, some ash, sugar tree and heech. On the bottomis, water, white and burr onk, gray ash, shell.bork hirkory, reilhud, somunfros, logivood arul powpun. Along the streams, syca- more and cotiopirood, and on the bigher banks black walnuts, three to five feet in diameter, and large burr oaks. The majority of the saw. mills are situaleil on Kel Rirer, ond ore principally engaged in cutting walnut, oak andI hickory limber.

DIILIONO STONE.

The sandsinne which overlies the main block coal is, in places, an excel- lent building stone, and is extensively used in Brazil in making foundations, lintels, steps anıl other parts of buildings. The principal quarry of this rook is owned by Mr. Simonson, and is about one and a half miles south of Brazil. It is ohlucisb whilr, hord, coarse-grained sandstone, and presents a beautiful appearance iu buildings. The subcarboniferous limestone, exposed on Jordan Creok, nenr Bowling Green, may, when opened up, furnish good slone for building purposes, anil will serve lo make a good article of quick- lime.

IRON ORE.

The shales nt the base of the millstone grit contain everywhere more or Jess olay tronstone, and siliceons hydralel brown oxide of iron. These are adinningeously used in mixing will the Lake Superior and Missouri ores. Al Mr. Thomas Cromivell s an excellent article of bog ore is found, and at such n depih as to make it cusy of ucces. The width of the deposit here is about sixty feel.

TINE ANH NICK CLIY'S.

The county is abundantly supphed with a i'ariely of fre clay that is ad- mirably adupied for manufacturing pollery, such as cotumon stoneware, Terra cotta ornaments, and eren n beller class of ware known as Rocking. hun or Troy more

Serrral poileries bure been established in Ilay Counly, and enjoy a rery hicrative frode. The olay is principally obtained near the residence of Mr. Morris, on the property of the Clay l'oul Company. This locality is said to furnish the best article of clay for lerin colla uronmenis, staines, pottery, olr. It is prioripnlly used by tho Terra Cotta Company, of Chicago, for mok- ing sintues it is sold at The mine for $1.50 per ton, or delivered on the ears al 84 bit per ton. The stoneware miade ol these potteries presents a fine appearance, is very strong, of u blurish gray color, quite smooth and free from cracks in The glazing. li meets with a ready market, anil is sold at eight cents per gallon, delivered on the cars, producing an annual income to the county of $10,000

COAL

The enlire coul ares of Clay County comprises about 400 square miles, or 192,000 acres, unil the total ilepth of coul over this uren is estimated by the Stote Geologist at umarly hrenty-mue inches, after making all necessary allounnees, und pluring the nyuilalle depth of the " block" and coking cools nl six feet. " This ilepth of the coul stratu," says the Grologist, " will give, ay the product of one nrre, 10,500 tons, or 404,000 bushels of coal, which, if estitonied al $2. 20 per ton, will make the sum of $23,250 as the value of the nreruge products of ono arre of coal Inud. If estimated ut this rate for the entire urea of 192,000 acres, the probable value of the conl of Clay County amounts to the canous sum of $4, 404, ,." In this estimate the en- tire area is lerinded. The Geologist places about 114,000 aeres as the area of the " block" con], which ho estimules to be of an urerage of six feet, hut in calculating the probolile r'nhie of it, auly places il al an average depth of four (vel. On this nssuniplion, he gives The probable value of one nere at $17,AIKI, At this rote, the 114,000 peres will give $1, 140,000,000 as the pres- ent value of the nruilalle " block' roul uf Plus County. By these two cal- oublions, ciber of which may be considereil approximately correct, the coal bels of ilis county show n mine of wealth unsurpassed by any other.

Considering The convenience to market, amil the reudy iran>portation offered by the Terre Haute & Indianapolis and the Indianapolis & N. Louis Kailronds, which cross the " block road" held in the northern part of The county, The price of block coal is generally higher than esteusted in the foregoing raleulations. As the iletiand for it is so great, these roads have all They cou do lo fill onfery. AAnd, as the cool is extensiroly used in rolling-wills and blast furnaces, as well as in locomotives and machine shops where slesmi is used as the wiolive power, the demand is always in excess of the supply. The pig iron made al the Clay County blast furuaces fram Iron Mountain nud Lake Superior irou ores, by the use of block coal as a fnel. rommands front livo to three ilollars more per ton, at the furance, than the suur grade of pig iron made in Krulucky and Obio will command al Indiun- aptolış

l'oul and iron, hexl lo agriculture, form the basis of any nation's wealth. England, to-Iny, ours her greatness as a nation inore to coal felils that lie mihin her borders than lo unr other cause. If England bas been so profiled by this brunch of imhistry, u lint is in store for Clay County?

At present there are abont forty coul hanks in operation. The railroads run side-tricks and switches to nearly all the shafts, and thereby enable dealers lo lond the cars ilireel from the shaft.

live blust furnaces are operated: One at Brazil ; tivo al Knightsville, The " Piquet' furnner, owned by the Indianapolis Rolling Mill Company, situmied upr tile rast of llarmony , the " Lafuyetle Blast Furnace, " owned by the Lafayette Iron Comp.iny, is situated on a branch of South Uller Creek, une and n lmnlf miles north of Brazil. All these run on the hot-blasi prin- cipor, and the blast is brated in gais-oreus by the waste gis brought from the top of the sturk. Tho tolnl working capital employed in These industries is about six hundred thousand dollars. They consume daily 100 tons of " hlook " coul, lay tons nf Lake Superior aud Iron Mountain ore, and fifty tous idf lineslone for Anx.

Tor daily product of iron isuboul 110100s, worth, on an average, includ- ing all grades, furty dollars per ton. The totul tahle of rach day's run is. therefore, tunr Thousand four hundred dollne, or nearly one mml & half million dollnes pir nunum, making a large allowance for mishaps and loss frotu ncenlents. The number of men employed about these furnaces, not incluiling conl nummers, is about 200.
