THE DEATH VALLEY BORAx.

Lucky Discovery Changed Lives of ,
Settler and His wife.
In 1880 Aaron Winters lived with
his 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
mountain was 100 mics from the near
est neighbor, in wild, rugged, for
saken country.
One day 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
together to make the search, having
previously provided themselves with
certain test chemicals, which, when
combined with borax and ignited,
would produce a green flame.
Having procured piece OF the SUD-
stance which he believed to be borax,
Winters and his wife waited for night
fall to make the test. How would 1t
burn?
! For years they had lived like Piutes
on the desert, entirely without luxu-
ries and often wanting for the very
necessaries of life. Would the match
change all 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 rich"
They had found borax. The mine
was sold for $4,000. and Winters took
his Rosie to a ranch in Nevada.-Chi-
cago Tribune.
