and nearly all OF our assay offices and
mill and mining companies are now
using borax manufactured at the borax
fields of Columbus District, in this
State. The Nevada bora1 is said to be
superior, for all mechanical purposes,
to the best Enslish article. A large
quantity Is used monthly at the Mint,
and our mining companies use on an
average from $50 to 200 pounds per
month each. All our assayers and all
the smelling furnace companies use
considerable quantities. 1t Is sold
here at from % to % cents per pound
by the case, each case holding 100
pounds. The Pioneer BoraX Com
pany. at Columbus, are now engaged
In putting up new works for evapora-
ting. refining and crystalizing, and
when these are completed will be able
to turn out four tons Of the pure arti-
clio per day ; which would be worth

pound. Besides the company named
there are several others that are now
at work and the supply of the raw ma
terial In the borax fields Is said to be
lnexhaustable.
