long and eighty broad. It happens frequently that pieces of copper are found weighing from ten to twenty pounds. I have seen several such pieces in the hands of savages ; and since they are very superstitious, they esteem them as divinities, or as presents given to them to promote their happiness, by the gods who dwell beneath the water. For this reason they preserve these pieces of copper wrapped up with their most precious articles. In some families they have been kept for more than fifty yea...rs ; in others, they have descended from time out of mind being cher ished as domestic gods. " (Quoted in "Report on the Copper-lands of Lake Superior, by Foster and Whitney, Washington, D. C. , 1850, P- 7-") 422 PRIMITIVE INDUSTRY.
The preceding quotation renders it the more probable, I think, that the plain, so-called copper celts found on the Atlantic coast were more likely to have been regarded in this light, than used as cutting instru ments ; but the variety of forms of metallic implements and weapons found in western New York, on the other hand, are to be looked upon more as objects in daily use.
