"SHE BURNS GREEN"
The Discovery of Borax 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 a most romantic way. The
Chicago Record tells the story.
In 1880 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 allow her to
re long absent from him, although
heir little hut on the side of the noun
tain was q hundred miles from the
nearest neighbor, In 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 a green fame.
Having procured a piece Of the sub
stance which he believed to be borax,
Winters and his wife waited for night
foil to make the test. How would 1t
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
oil that?
Winters held the blaze to the sub
stance with a trembling hand, then
shouted at the top of his voice: "She
burns green, Rosie! We're rich! We're
richw
They had found borax. The mine
was sold for $4,000, and Winters took
his Rosie to a ranch in Nevada.

ment for then all the women would be
given an equal opportunity at the polls,
Motley and Wilcox had really done a
great deal in Washington notwith
standing statements to the contrary.
Nauha said the missionaries had taught
the natives to pray with their eyes
shut. He for one intended in the fu-
ture to advocate praying with the eyes
open, lest the haOles and missionaries
steal the lands of the natives. Nc
Carthy talked principally on the differ
ence in the principles of the Republi-
can and Democratic parties. All OF the
speakers referred to Wilcox as the only
man who had obtained the franchise
for the natives.

sented to the teams. No place for this
event was decided on but the Saturday
evening after the last game was chosen
as the time.
There will be four teams in the tour
nament. Hawaii, Maui and Kauai will
send fours to fight Oahuites. All the
stables at Kapiolani park have been
leased and the horses from the other
islands will be taken care of there.
