BORAX AND WHERE FOUND.
Entire Product Of This Country Comes from
Nevada, California and Oregon.

The occurrence of borax in the United
states, so far as known, is limited to the
states of California, Nevada and Oregon
originally, in 1864, borax was produced
by evaporating the waters of Clear lake,
about eighty miles north of San Francis
90. Then the borax crust on many of
the alkaline marshes of eastern Califor-
MIA and western Nevada was refined
About 1890 II was found that the borax
crust on the marshes is secondary de-
posit derived from beds of borate of lime
I'm the tertiary lake sediments of the re-
gion. This revolutionzed the industry.
A mine was established on the bedded de-
posit at Borate. twelve miles northeast of
Daggett, San Bernardino county. Cal,
and at the present time this plant, owned
by the Pacific Coast Borax Company, Is
the chief producer of borax and boracic
acid in this country.
The United States Geological Survey
has in press an elaborate report by
member of the survey, Dr. M. r. Camp
bell on the borax deposits of Death val
ley and the Mojave desert.
ne Ndlut VI tIis depoSit icu " tAtCH~
sive prospecting and to the discovery In
Death valley of enormous deposits, far
exceeding those now worked near Dag
gett The borax OF Death valley, as well
as that near Daggett. occurs in a regular
stratum.
Mojave desert is located in Kern, os
Angeles and San Bernardino counties,
California, and lies in the angle between
the Sierra Madre on the south, the Sierra
Nevada on the west, and thence 1t street
ches eastward to hte Colorado river and
northward to Death valley. This desert
forms a part of the Great Basin.
The most noted feature of the region is
Death valley. which lies fifty miles east
of the Sierra Nevada and only a few
miles west of the Nevada State line. This
valley, about fifty miles long and from
five to ten miles wide, is at its lowest
point about 4s0 feet below sea-leveI. with
mountains towering on either side nearly
TO the region of perpetual snow.
Wherever water can be obtained the
soil proves fertile.
Death valley received it's sinister name
from the fact that I'm 1si9 a band of emf
grants wandered into the valley. and
most Of them perished from thirst.
In addition 10 borax deposits, Death
valley cont. irs immense salt field,
which may IN time become valuable. 1t
is about thirty miles long. from two to
four miles wide, and the crust OF salt
probably averages one foot In thickness.
Refining would be necessary.
Mr. Campbell concludes that lake sed-
iments occur throughout a wide extent
OF territory In the Great Gasin. but that
the various outcrops are not as some
writers suppose. parts of one extensive
sheet of sediment deposited in a wide
spread but shallow lake From the char
acter and arrangement OF the material
composing these beds, II is apparent, he
holds, that most of the lakes occupied
valleys. bounding walls OF which may
be seen today. Possibly the conditions
were similar to those prevailing today
about Owens lake and Great Salt Lake,
where extensive alkaline deposits are ac-
cumulating.

SLAVES GOULD NOT INHERIT LAND,
DECIDES. JUDGE GOFF IN BELL CASE
Interesting Point Passed Upon in Noted Case Involving
Much Valuable Property on
Chimborazo Park

Judge Goff, of the United States circuit
Court, in an oral opinion rendered yestei-
day, in the somewhat celebrated case of
Bells heir VS.. Allard ct ais, involving the
title to $4,000 worth of property OH CHM
borazo Park, holds that slaves could not
inherit real estate, and sus tains the claim
that the title of Allard and others. to the
property is valid.
The case has been pending in the United
States court for a year or two, and has
attracted much attention. The argument
consumed two days, and the case was
submitted to Judge Goff for decision, as &c
the facts as well as the law. AS soon
as the attorneys concluded. Judge Colt an
nounced his decision. He held that whne
James Bell was Il free negro. his c--.lutc,t
were slaves and as such could not inherit
real estate. He further held that evcn
putting this question aside. the heirs have
slept on what they claimed to be their
rights for forty three years and the claim
had become so stale that it could not be
recognized.
The property, the title OF which is es-
tablished by this decision, embraces all
of the houses, or. at least several of
them. on Thirty-second Street. fronting
on Chimborazo Park Over forty years
ago the property was sold for delinquent
taxes and bought in at four cents. If
teen years later Mr.. Alard and others
acquired it, and handsome residences
have since been erected. 1t is now worth

NEW TERMINAL
OF ELECTRIC ROAD
Petersburg Cars Will Soon Come
to 9TH and Perry, and in a
Year to Richmond.

The Richmond and Petersburg Electric
Railway Company has Il contract with
the Passenger and Power Company to
furnish them with a bridge by which
their cars can come into IsichmOnd in
one year from this time.
How the Richmond company will meet
this agreement is not known. 1t is gen
orally known that the decision has been
reached to construct a bridge across the
river from the foot OF Seventh Street,
but it is quite confidently believed that
ii the company finds themselves able to
buy Mayo's Bridge at a figure which ut
considers reasonable, they will do so.
And gain, if the bill for free bridge
where the Mayo Bridge is now passes,
the desired end may thus be reached.
In the meantime the permanent termi-
nal is to be at Seventh and Perry Streets,
Manchester. This is the point where the
Hull Street and the Forest FIilI lines of
the Passenger and Power Company di-
verge. 1t is a convenient location. The
Richmond and Petersburg Company has
rented the brick building ut this corner,
and will soon convert it into a general
Office, waiting room, etc, for the use OF
the company and the travelling public.
The cars will then come down to this
point. first along Hull Street to Seventh
ard out Seventh to Perry. Passengers
for Petersburg and intermediates points
can connect with this line by taking
either the Forest uilI or Hull Street
lines.
When the company gets into Rich.
n.ond they will doubtless have Offices in
keeping with the Importance of the
road II is understood that the company
had rather come into Richmond at
Fourteenth. Z
