"sHE BURNS GREEN"
The Discovery of Rorax In Death
Valley hY Aaron Winters


Valley by Aaron Winters.
The greatest discovery OF borax IN
the United States was made in the ter
ribiy hot region known as Death val
ley and in a most romantic way. The
Chicago Record tells the story.
In 1880 Aaron Winters lived with BIS
wife. Rosie, in a gulch known as Ash
Meadows, not far from the mouth of
Death valley. He was so fond Of
his wife that he would not allow her to
be long absent from him, although
their little hut on the side of the noun
tain was a hundred miles from tile
nearest neighbOr, in q wild. rugged
forsaken country.
One day a 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 and his wife went to-
gether to make the search, having pre-
viously provided themselves with Ger
tain test chemicals. which when COM
bined with borax and ignited would
produce green fame.
Having procured q piece Of the sub
stance which he believed to be borax,
Winters and his wife waited FOR night
fall to make the test. How would 1t
burn?
For wears they had lived like Piutes
on the desert. entirely without Injuries
and often wanting for the very necessi-
ties of life. Would the match change
all that?
Winters held the blaze to the sub
stance with trembling hand, then
shouted at the top of his voice: 'She
burns green, Rosie! We're rich! We're
richv'
They had found bora1. The mine
was sold for $4,000, and Winters took
his Rosie TO a ranch in Nevada.

Every man, woman and child in
Rosebud county who reads the news
papers or hears public gossip knows
all about the mess in which the sheri fl 4,
Office has gotten into through the
cupidity OF a deputy. All OF the
records and details OF the affair
have been thoroughly aired in the
columns of the News and vet
those responsible for the Disgrace
ful transaction continue to administer
the laws of the state in this county
The board of commissioners who knew
OF the matter a month ago has taken
no action. Sheriff Davis continues to
employ the deputy who sought I'd make
q good thing out of his office and there
IS an apathy among those who should
be first to push the investigation that
is hard for the layinan to understand.
The News has already asked some
very direct and plain questions about
this Geddes case. It has not minced
matters nor made them appear worse
than they really are. But no explana-
tlon nor apology has been given by
anyone cor nected with the case. These
gentlemen evidently labor under the
delusion that the public will forget il.
Two months and more have passed
since the twenty dollars was extorted
from the woman in the case and it is
high time some Official notice was paid
to this affair.
The attention of the county commits
>ioners is directed to the article print
ed in the News Sept IL where all the
data from the records will be found.
These are certainly strong enough 10
warrant an investigation and the SER
ious nature of the case makes II I'M
peratlve on the board to act al once.
The sheriff and county attorney have
certainly had long enough time in
which to make the anende honorable
and declining to do this have laid them
selves open to Investigations The board
has authority to sit in special session
and take up the case. Let there be no
delay.
