. A SENSATIONAL FIND IN AN J OLD DIGGER'S CAMP. ' BY N.Z. TOURISTS. The following sensational and re- ' markablc story has come to light re- • garding the pioneer hardships of our ' early history. Two well-known New • Zcalanders, Mr More-ton and Mr Hall, ' solicitor, of Invercargill, whilst on a holiday trip exploring the majestic beauties of our far-famed cold lakes, and mountainous scenery at the head of Lake Wakatipu, successfully negotiated the 4300ft. of height of the famous Lake Harris Sad.dle. It was in the vicinity of .the saddle that they cam© across the remains of an old 1 digger's camp, and being similarly ' constituted to other mortals they' 1 naturally fossicked for . curios. It ' must be remembered that this old digger's camp was 4300ft. above sea level, surrounded by mountainous bush country, more than 50 miles from the nearest store, to make the following extraordinary find the more remarkable when one considers ihat every article of diet, clothing, utensils, etc., had to be' carried the above height and distance with accompanying hardships. These gentlemen fossicked in this old camp, and, remarkable 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 f am•ous 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' one remedy that gives a marked and rapid cure.
