A couple of Indians who were on their way to Parral to buy wheat died of starvation before they reached their destination.

The Indians ascribed the hard times to the presence of the whites, who had deprived them of their lands as well as of their liberty.

The gods, as they put it, were angry with the whites and refused to send rain.
In the summer, especially in July, a false truffle is found on the highlands of Guachochic, which serves as a food to the Indians.

It grows abundantly a couple of inches below the ground, raising the earth a little; and is found also under the limb of a fallen tree.

The dogs help in finding this fungus, and they are so fond of it that they go of their own accord to look for it.
