INDIAN MONET.
Primitive Coins of the Aborigines of
Oregon.
The .history of money in our
country dates from the lignite,
shells, wampum, etc., of the abori
gines down to the present highly
artistic coins of the United States
Mint. Thus in money, as in com
merce, agriculture and the arts,
the advancement from great rude
ness to comparative perfection ex
cites our wonder. To trace the
progress of any art from its rude
origin up to the period of its pres
eut perfection, is an agreeable
task, and it is peculiarly gratifying
to be able to contemplate the re
sults of the inventiveness and in
genuity of mankind, gradually pro
gressing and finally triumphing
over all obstacles to complete suc
cess. A coin, find it where we
may, is an index to the people who
originally issued it and truly indi
cative of their state of civilisation, i
whatever it may have been, and
whether a shell, a bead, or a piece
of load, copper, silver, or gold has
been the standaid or measure ofiper, and moss-agate, some not a
value. '
The earliest knowledge we have ,
of aboriginal coins or money in j
Oregon is derived from the evi-1
dences of it exhumed from tho , T1 My encrinite, a fossil be
mounds that skirt the waters of j longing to the family cri7ioidea, is
the Columbia aud Willamette riv-1 funtl " gr-at numbers in tho
ers. In these mounds have been
found relics similar to those of the
Eastern world. The specimens of
aboriginal coins or money discov
ered at Oregon City, The Dalles
and Sauvie's Island are composed
of lignite, bone, shells, mica, pearl,
carnelian, chalcedony, agate, jas-
per, copper, lead and iron, which
were fashioned into forms evincing'
a skill in art of which the descend-

vivmg are entirely ignorant, the
first medium of circulation as
money among the aborigines is be
lieved by antiquarians to have
been formed from the three sub
stances first named. These speci
mens are frequently exhumed, and
are found in possession of the na
tive Indians of Oregon down to
the present day.
The specimens of shell coins or
currency occur in lanre 'ouantities
in every aboriginal mound. They
are made from shells of the unio,
or fresh-water clam, up to the hugh j
sea conch. The pieces most com
mon are from small spiral shells;
but thfi most valiiahli was a sne-

on the Lower Columbia for which

j They were called sltac-o-nc-mel or J
alph by the Indians.
Specimens of stone money occur
in quantities in the mounds in the
vicinity of The Dalles, Oregon
City, and Sauvie's island, especial
ly the latter locality, the delta of
the Willamette river. Since the
constant navigation by all classes
of steamboats, the island has been
constantly washing aw:ry and
caused an undue erosion of the
banks for man' rods, thus laying
bare one of the richest localities of
aborigiual specimens upon our
coast. They are composed of
jasper, quartz, agate, chalcedony,
and occasionally carnelian. The
most common specimens found
are wrought from sandstone and
slate, in mauy instances very high
ly polished, and sometimes figured
1 over with hieroglyphics and other
designs. I have found in this lo
cality some very rare diminutive
and highly carved mortars and
pestles, miniature scrapers, chisels,
hatchets, sinkers, and vast quan
tities of darts of chalcedony, jas-

This animal petrifaction is formed
of long jointed stems, composed of
calcareous divisions or plates close

fossil of this species contains the
enormous number oi one nunttrea
and fift.v thousand pieces. They
are generally found separate, and
it is these divisions of the stems
which are denominated cntrochites
and screw stones, and in the north
of England fairy stones and St.

General Wright, Chief of Engi-

savs in his annual report, which
will be submitted shortly. The ;
copj I have is an advance one;
the report has not yet been made 1
public: "Xo one acquainted with
our history can hesitate to as
cribe much of the wantonness and
duration of wrongs we have en
dured to a knowledge on the part
of other nations of the scantiness
and inefficiency of our naval forces
and harbor defenses.' In another
part he says: "It concerns the
honor of the United States when
involved in controversy with other
Powers, to be able to appeal to
the sword, but that appeal should
be accompanied by the conscious
n ess
wou

of inferiority may at present exist,
though the adversary be a compa
ratively weaker Power.' General

eminently applicable to us at this
moment in respect to our present
diplomatic relations with Chile.
