Some of them have been suc- cessfully worked. The largest native village on the island was long famous for its display of totem-poles, guarding houses and the ruins of houses. The Indians are of the Haidah or Hyda tribe who migrated from the Queen Charlotte group farther south. They were a warlike and treacherous people, and often made predatory incursions even as far south as Puget Sound. They are supposed to be of Japanese origin, as their own name Kaigan is Japanese, meaning seashore, and th...ey have features resembling the Japanese. Their artistic talents, also, would seem to point to the same derivation. The island is wonderfully diversified with bays and inlets. Besides the mines of copper and gold that have been recently exploited, there are deposits of excellent marble and granite. The forests are included in the United States Eeservation. Vancouver's " very remarkable barren, peaked mountain " at the north end of the island has been reported as a volcano. Kasaan Bay penetrates into the interior for seventeen miles.
