(told Found by Coughing.An interesting story is told of the discovery of gold in the rich placer mines north of Mono Lake. On July 4, 1859, a miner who had been work- ! mg at a place called Dogtowu, on the [East Walker Hirer, determined to celebrate by a stroll among the hills. After walking several hours he grew hot and tired and descended into a deep, narrow canyon for the sake of j the shade. He stretched himself prone \ upon the sand in the shade of a big rocs. While lying there, with face down, he was taken with a lit of oough-mg; his breath blew the surface sand away and the glitter of gold caught his eye. On that spot the lucky miner made a fortune and his tit of coughing led to the discovery of the Bodie and Aurora Quarts mines.
