MANUFACTURING INTERESTS.
David Morgan built the tirst flouring mill in Crystal Lake, in 1859. It was 30x40 feet, two stories high and had two runs of stone. The mill stood on the north-east quarter of section four, near the present site of II. Oswald's house. A dam was built on the creek, and a race, about twenty-five rods in length. eut to it. The race has now disappeared. but the dam remains. Mr. Morgan sold the old mill, with the improvements he had made, to parties who built the new one on its present site. The old machinery was used and new material added. It was purchased in 1872, by Oswald and Bingenheimer. and since the death of the latter, in 1873, it has been owned and op- erated by Mr. Oswald. The mill is located near the Mississippi river, ou Shingle creek. The main building is 40x47 feet, with one addition for the shafting and water wheel, and another for an
engine. It has a seventeen and a half inch tur- bine wheel and an engine of sixty horse power. The engine has been recently added.
The mill has four runs of stone, one ernsher. three middlings purifiers and five bolting reels. All the machinery is new and complete. The capacity of the mill is about one hundred barrels in twenty-four hours.
Morrison's Brick Yard. In 1876 this yard was opened by Messrs. S. D. Morrison and V. Trues- dell, and operated by them three years. It has four mills for grinding clay, and employs about twenty men. The capital employed is about $6.000. and the product of the yard, in 1880, was 1,800,000 brick, which found a ready market in Minneapolis.
Brick Yard of Johnson and Berg. This yard was formerly carried on by Todd and Johnson. but is now owned and operated by Johnson and Berg. It employs four clay grinding mills and about twenty men. The capital employed is about $5,000. The brick manufactured in this and the neighboring yards, are the light-colored brick common to this vicinity.
Weithoff's Brick Yard. This yard is located on section twelve and is owned and operated by Mr. William Weithoff. It employstwo machines for grinding clay, and about eight men. Its product is 600.000 brick annually.

It is located four miles from Minneapolis, near the banks of Crystal Lake, and is frequented by sportsmen in the hunting season. The post-office is at Shingle Creek. As this town borders on the city of Minneapolis, nearly all of the south half of section ten has been platted in town lots, as an addition to that city, and the streets are num- bered and laid ont regularly as a part thereof, though not embraced under the city government.
