FOUND AT TROUT LAKE
State Historical Society Sc
cures Collection of Relics
Found Near Trout Lake in
Villas County.

The State Historical Society at
Madison has recently secured a
rare collection of steel and cop
per implements unearthed near
Trout Lake, showing evidences
that the Hudson Bay Company
had a trading post on the shores
of that lake 200 years ago. In
the list of articles found are iron
harpoons of several patterns
used in spearing muskellunge and
sturgeon. ice creepers used by the
traders, and primitive hand
forged axes bearing trademarks
of the Hudson Bay Company
and the initials of the makers.
Of particular interest is hand
forged hoe. This hoe according
to c. E. Brown, chief of the mus
cum, is particularly interesting
as the eye was forged separately
from The blade
A number of interesting Indian
relics were also found recently in
mounds in the western part OF
Oneida county by representatives
of the Historical Society on a
tour throughout this section.
These were also sent to Madison,
where they will be preserved for
all time.-New North.
