relates that in 1850 a party Of miners in the
mountains of Ell Dorado, prospecting in an
isolated place, where they were without fresh
meats and vegetable food, were afflicted with

in the earth up to their necks, and left alone
over night with chew of tobacco apiece. The
result of this attempt at earth cure might have
been happy, but for the fact that IN the night
coyotes came along and ate off all the six
