and a rude arrow head near by. Mr. Har- 
rington, who is an authority on the subject, 
says this was probably the site of a prehistoric 
indian camp. 
A continued search about the lake brought 
to light a number of chippings, flint, etc. from 
the wooded side, but none from the side on 
which the buildings are located. 
On the same side of the lake, but at the 
end opposite camp site no. 1, we found many 
chips in asmall area, and I was fortunate 
enough to secure a small and somewhat im- 
perfect arrow point of a type not common in 
this vicinity. These articles were all we 
found on this occasion, but they suggested 
the possibility of another camp site. 
The following day, Nov 17th, 1902, I de- 
termined to make an exhaustive search about 
both sides. At camp site no. 1 a few chips 
were found but nothing else, while at camp 
site no 2 a portion ofa black flint war point, 
a tiny fragment of pottery, together with 
many chips, was the reward, Sevefal’ trips 
to this locality since then have yielded abun- 
dant chips, but no implements of any kind. 
I have also located another camp site near 
the shore of Schoenian’s Pond, In the road 
near the ice house many chips and portions 
of implements were found. During the past 
spring, near this locality, I found a hand- 
some yellow jasper knife, a portion ofa quartz 
warpoint, and a fine black flint arrow head, 
We may expect that when the roads for 
the new park system are cut through, more 
traces of aboriginal occupation will be 
brought to light, in the vicinity of Silver 
Lake and the Clove Valley.
