Section of very pale jade, green veining. Stein Creek above Lytton, B.C.* Fide donor GTE: Rough section of a very pale jade with bright green veining showing one cut face. From an old village site on or near the Fraser River above Stein Creek called Stein, B.C. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Deerhorn implement for chipping flint.* Fide donor GTE: Section of deerhorn, notched for chipping arrow points. Spear blades, arrow points, knives, drills and leaf-shaped implements were in most every instance chipped from a black basalt which was not found in the immediate vicinity of Lytton, but came from Cache Creek. The crude rock was broken off in convenient sized pieces and the chipping was done in the home villages or camping places. After the splinter or chip was broken off, they were shaped by means of short sections of deerhorn. Notches were cut in the horn at right angles to their length for the coarse work, and in the end of the horn for the finer work, and for very fine work the edge of the beaver tooth was used. Spear blades were of different sizes and shapes. Arrow points of every size and shape are found on old village sites, camping places, and graves. While worn and rude the majority show much skill in the fine chipping and artistic forms. One type in particular, which is common to Lytton and Ashcroft, is peculiar in the deep notches often on one side only, or sometimes a single notch on one side and two or three on the other side, and the present people say that these were poisoned arrows for war. The poison was retained by the hollowed out notch. Knives were often simple splinters of basalt that had a keen cutting edge. Drills were chipped and fashioned as the spear and arrow heads. Leaf-shaped, chipped implements of all sizes are found with the other chipped implements. This implement for shaping arrow points is of recent make to show the implements of the past. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Small awl of deer horn antler.* Possibly a netting tool. Probably deer (6/95). *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Chert flake. Locality: Sanpoil Indians, Colville Reservation, Wash. Identified by G.E. Goodspeed. Remarks: From shell mound at naa'qu, on Columbia River.* *Information comes from the original accession ledger.

Portion of a stone pipe.* Fide donor GTE: Portion (stem) of tubular stone pipe ornamentally cut. Dug up across Fraser near Lytton. Pipes are in general use. The oldest type was evidently tubular, but those of a later period, and those used today, are of the ordinary type of bowl and stem. They are made of a steatite or some transparent soapstone, which in some the fire can be seen through the wall of the bowl. The stem is often ornamented with lead inlaid which in some cases is used to strengthen the stem as the material is brittle. A plain hollow wood stem is used. *Information is from the original accession ledger.

Grindstone.* Fide donor GTE: Portion of a grindstone of a fine silicious sandstone, slightly concave face. It is very conclusively established that jade and other fine grained celts were worked down and sharpened upon these stones, which are found about old living and camping sites together with the sandstone saws and partly cut boulders, and an examination of jade and other celts shows almost invariably a corresponding convex side and cutting surface. These grindstones from their brittleness are seldom found in large slabs, but more in broken sections which are often smoothed on both flattened faces and sometimes along the edges. *Information is from the original accession ledger.
