One evening the two camped near the edge of a spruce woods.
The successes of any one individual for, as yet, their labors were unregulated by arrangement, and each worked on his own score procured for him the hate and envy of some of the company, while it aroused the ill-disguised dissatisfaction of all; and nothing was of more common occurrence, than, when striking upon a fruitful and productive section, even among those interested in the discovery, to find it a disputed dominion.
