"SHE BURNS GREEN"
The Discovery OF Bornx In Death
valley by Aaron winters.


valley by Aaron winters.
The greatest discovery OF borax In
the United States was made IN the ter
ribly hot region known as Death val
ley and In most romantic way. The
Chicago Record tells the story.
In 1850 Aaron Winters lived with his
wife, Rosie, IN gulch known as Ash
Meadows. not far from the mouth OF
Death valley. He was so fond Of
his wife that he would not allowhier 20
be long absent from him. NtIugh
their little hut on the side OF the noun.
tain was hundred miles from the
nearest neighbor, In a wild, rugged
forsaken country.
One day n desert tramp came along
and spent the night at the Winters
home. He told the hunter about the
borax deposits of Nevada. when he
went away. Winters thought that he
had seen deposits OF the same kind on
his explorations into Death valley.
Accordingly he anu his wife went to-
gether 10 make the search, having pre-
viously provided themselves with GER
tain test chemicals, which when COM
blned with boraX and ignlted would
produce green flame.
Having procured piece OF the sub
stance which he believed 10 be borax,
Winters and his wife waited for night
fall 10 make the test. How would II
burn?
For years they had lived like Piutes
on the desert. entirely without luxuries
and often wanting for the very necessi-
ties OF life. Would the match change
nll th9tf
Winters held the blaze TO the sub
stance with a trembling hand, then
shouted at the top OF his voice; "She
burns green. Rosiel We're rich! We're
Yichw
They had found borax. The mine
was sold for $4,000, and Winters took
his Rosie 10 n ranch In Nevada.

The Rock Island gcate has aled no
tlce that II will extend from Anadar.
ko. o. r.. to a point near Addington
in the Indian Territory, a distance OF
about rs miles. Addington is a small
place on the main line Of the Rock
Island railroad, and as the crow flies,
due west from Ardmore. 1t is situated
in the fertile lands Of Mud Creek val
ley. and as feeder TO the Anadarko
country would really not amount to
much. The supposition, therefore is,
that the Rock Island people are fore
ing a point to obtain line across the
