Tomahawk.

The manufacture of stone tomahawks is a work of considerable labour, and a good implement is of great value. The beds of rivers and creeks and other places are searched for suitable stones; these require the bestowal of much patience in grinding them down to a proper shape. I have seen in many parts of the country rocks scored in all directions by the deep grooves made by this grinding process; they work at it incessantly, men and women taking turn about. These grinding places are invariably sandstone rocks with plenty of water close at hand.
