A SENSATIONAL FIND IN AN OLD DIGGER'S CAMP. BY N.Z. TOURISTS. The following sensational and remarkable story has come to light regarding the pioneer hardships of our early history. Two well-known New Zealanders, Mr Moreton and Mr Hall, solicitor, of Invercargill, whilst on a lioliday trip exploring the majestic beauties of our far-famed cold lakes, j and mountainous scenery at the head i of Lake Wakatipu, successfully negotiated the 4300 ft. of height of the famous Lake Harris Saddle. It was in the vicinity of the saddle that they came across th© remains, of an old digger's camp, and being similarly constituted to other mortals they naturally .. fossicked for curios. . It must b& remembered that this old digger's canrp was 4300 ft. above sea~ level, surrounded by mountainous bush country, more than 50 miles from the nearest stored to make the following extraordinary find theniore •remarkable when one considers that every article of diet, clothing, uten--sils, etc., had to be carried the above, height and distance with accompanying liai'dsliips. Tlxes© gen-tlentien. fossicked in this old camp, and, re■maTkable as it may seem, they relate that they discovered an empty bottle of Baxter's Lung Preserver — this. was in the year 1884-5. This old digger most probably staked his life in this lonely spot to the merits of this^famous cure for coughs and colds and other serious chest complaints. Baxter's Lung Preserver was not' only famous in* 1884 for curing coughs and colds quickly, but to-day is- still recognised as the on& remedy that gives a marked and rapid cure.
