early as 1859 in the State geological reports as being material 
used by the Indians of the region for their pipes. It is possible 
that this pipe was made of similar material which was brought 
down the Cass by canoe, that being the most natural way; an idea 
which is strengthened by the fact that the early pioneers depended 
on the canoe, at first, for transportation along the same route. 
Ka-pay-shaw-wink Village Site.—This is a large village 
site on the east bank of the Saginaw river, just below the junc- 
tion of the Tittabawassee and 
Shiawassee rivers. The ar- 
cheological evidence found 
at this locality coincides with 
the Ojibwa traditions, which 
state that in ancient times a 
great villageof the Sac Indians 
was located here. A cache 
consisting of fifty-nine blades 
was found about a foot below 
the surface at this spot. The 
implements found in it are 
leaf-shaped, average about 
one and one-fourth inches in 
length and are of chert. One 
of the blades had been special- 
ized by notching at the base. 
This cache is known as Golson 
Cache No. 2. There are two 
Jarge dome-shaped mounds on 
the western side of the river,

the north bank of the Cass river about three miles from Saginaw. 
Specimens are shown, also, from various sites on the Shiawassee
