They were found along the westerly bank of the Milburn livtr clo^n ti the deep be,Is of wampum that were unearthed a few weeks ago. These copper axes indicate that the Indians of southern .Nassau County v,-ero scnii- civilized. It has been disclosed that the original John Jacob Astor used considerable of the wampum of south¬ ern Long Island in buying furs from the Indians of the far northwest whoro the famous founder of the .\s- tor millions accumulated some of thom. Astor had a country estate at Astoria—now in the city limits— and he wns well acquainted with the wampum beds al Baldwin Harbor.
The copper axes of the Nassau County Indians were useful in their era. but the steel axe, spade, hammer and saw of the pale faces are in use at Baldwin Harbor nowadays. Whore smoke curled above the Indian huts it now rises from the open fireplaces of 150 bungilowB and dwellings built during the last three years.
In place of the devious Indian trails are concrete sidewalks and ma¬ cadam roads and savings and national banks a short distance away have ta¬ ken the place of wampum beds.
