A SENSATIONAL FIND IN AN OLD DIGGER'S CAMP. BY N.Z. TOURISTS. THE following sensational and remarkable story has come to'lighfc regarding tho pioneer hardships of our early j history. Two well-known,- New Zealanders, Mr. Moreton and Mr. Hall, solicitor of Invercargill, whilst on a holiday trip exploring tho majestic beauties of our farfamed cold lakes and mountainous ' bush scenery at the head of Lake Wakatipu, successfully negotiated the 4300 ft of height of the famous Lake Harris saddle °It was m the vicinity of tho saddle that they came across the romaina of an old digger's camp, and being- similarly constituted to other mortals they naturally fosBicked for curioa. It must bo remembered that this old digger's camp was 4300 ft above sea level, surrounded by mountainous bush country, more than fifty miles from the nearest store, to make the following extraordinary find the moro remarkable, when> one considers that every article of diet, clothing, utensils, etc., had to be carried the above height, and distance, with the many accompanying hardships. These gentlemen fossicked in this old camp, and. remarkable as it may seem, thoy 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 quiokly, but, to-day is still recognised as the one_ remedy that gives a marked and rapid cure.
