The native Indians believed there was and there is evidence at the Mason County Muscum that they made use of this awesome beast to their. advantage.

A chunk of greenish-colored copper not much larger than a man's fist lies on the shelf at the Mason County Museum with other relice of Michigan. It. is heavy for its size and was brought, in labeled la meteor, (Lester E. Blodgett collection) found in a field just west of the Manierre Dawson farm in West Riverion. At some time or other the picce had been hacked eat and sawed.

One small place had been smoothed. Meteors are always made of solid iron, so it is not a meteor. But there are still two fields of thought--this is only onc of a great many small chunks of copper found all over northern United States. Archacologists call it float. copper--dropped there by the glacier during the ice age.

The other opinion holds that Indians, migratory as the birds, had brought the copper from the copper country. This is the varicty of the metal found on the surface of the earth in Northern Michigan. Planning to use it for beads or other trinkets, they found it impossible to cut and it was finally discarded.
