 of polished-stone hatchets, one very largo maul with center grooved, and a half 

 dozen Hint arrowpoints, the whole having been looked upon since as a cache, and are 

 considered by the present owner, Mr. Wyman, as a kit of ancient mining tools left 

 on the trail from the Kewaueo district. Silver is plainly discernible in many of the 

 objects of the native copper.

OREGON. 



Rev. M. Eells, a veteran archieologist of Oregon,' speaking of stone spearheads 

 and arrowpoints in that country, says "they wer6 scarce, never having been made 

 in modern times, but belonging only to ancient times. At Oregon City, about half 

 a mile below the falls, is a perfect mine of them which had been unearthed by high 

 water. A workshoi) was at the Umatilla landing, where Mrs. Kunzie h:is obtained 

 many, some as beautiful as can bo made. The chips are now seen all around, though 

 the stone of which they were made — much the same as that used at Oregon City — 

 must have been brought long distances."
