 Indian copper implements, mostly from Wisconsin, is considered one 

 of the most important of its kind in the country. The collections of 

 firearms, and of boots and shoes of all nations also rank high. One 

 life-size ethnological group is on exhibition, one in storage, and others 

 in preparation. This department includes much historical material 

 and is now reorganizing for greatly increased activities, made possible 

 by the recent passage of a law in the state legislature which levies 

 a special tax of i of a mill and thus gives this department an income 

 independent of that which supports the other departments of the mu- 

 seum. This income is now being used for the erection of an addition 

 to the building to provide space for this department.
