1900, and in 1901 much more. In 1900 the
United States imported but $4,000
worth of borax, securing the remain
der from San Bernardino and Inyo
counties. California furnished 2O,357
tons of the p 1874 tons produced in 1899.
Chill, the next largest shipper, fur
nished 1851 tons.
Boric acid is made at Daggett by
boiling the crude material in tanks
with sulphur. After the sulphate of
lime settles the liquid is drawn off into
outdoor watts, where the heat causes
rapid evaporation of the water, leav-
ing the substance known to commerce.
By this simple process results are ac-
complished which European manufac-
turcrs secure by means of costly equip
ments and complicated chemical proc
esses. More than 60 of the dry lakes
containing borax are unnamed and but
few have been worked. The largest
saline deposits are, naturally, in the
deepest places, and quantities are
found in Death valley, 427 feet below
sea level. From 1878 to 1886 this valley
was steadily worked, immense borax
trains drawn by horses traversing a

In the old days salt was the nandi-
est building material, and house
constructed from it still stands in
Dandy. In California about $4,000
600 worth of salt is being produced
annually at this time, and it is ex-
pected that this amount will soon be
doubled. as the new Salt Lake road
is to be laid through the very heart
of this region, opening the vast
areas of borax, soda and inter. 1t is
predicted that eastern capital will To-
cate factories here, where the prod
ucts may be easily shipped to the
ocean. All sorts of chemicals may
be manufactured, among which fer
tilizers and smokeless powder will be
important. Even now manufacturers
in southern California are casting
aside by-products which in other To-
calities would be more valuable than
the material now in use. Some of
the residue of the watts which is dis
carded is known to be rich in lithia
and bromine We ship lepidolite,
from which Iithia is made, to Ger
MANY and then import the manufac-
tured article. Why not produce it
here?
A unique industry, one of the
strangest in the world, is carried on
by some of the small boys of
Pasadena. who start out armed with
a pair of pincers about IS inches
long and a deep tin can lined with
bits of torn paper to depth of eight
or nine inches. The demand by tour
lists for centipedes mounted on card
board always exceeds the supply and
it is estimated that at least 10000
of these particularly disagreeable-
looking and dangerous insects are
prepared for the market in Pasadena
alone each year. Tarantulas, scor-
pions and many other venomous in
sects also fall victims to the small
boys activity and money-making pro-
clivities, while they satisfy the alb
normally developed souvenir habit Of
the always-present tourists. Rattle
snakes skins are manufactured into
fancy articles, and horned toads are
also much sought. But it is not only
the tourist who furnishes the mark
ct for the latter creatures. At the
drug shops in Chinatown they are
dried and. as one oriental who was
Justify pounding about 20 of them
assured the writer, "Me soakee him

During March, April and May the
largest crop of centipedes is harvest
ed and dried, and of all things the
Pasadena boys most enjoy is a CEN
tipede picnic in the hills among
which their picturesque town is stu
ated.
1t is not unusual for one boy to
catch 100 worms in a day, which he
can easily sell to dealers for five
cents each, thus earning five dollars.
When the rocks are lifted away in
the spring the centipedes are for
moment apparently too astonished
to move, and this is the boys oppor-
tunity for Selling them with pincers
and thrusting them squirming and
waving their myriad legs into his
can, when they glide under the pa
pers, stinging any one of their as
sociates with which they come in
contact. Scolopendia castaniceps, full
grown California centipedes, are from
five to eight inches long, and average
21 and AZ segments. A brown thorn
terminates each leg, and when the

are simultaneously thrust into the
flesh of his victim, producing lines
of pain like those inflicted by a red
hot iron. However, the second pair
of feet, below the jaws, resembling
modified claws, are what do the most
injury. These hooks are perforated
and traversed by little canals lead
ing from a poison gland. The claws
come together and set under the
flesh with such tenacity that the
creature has often to be torn in
pieces before it's hold may be loos-
ened. On hot days the boys are apt
to be bitten because the insects are
so active that they run up the pin

tormentors before they can be seized,
Ammonia or cooking soda will gem
orally remove the poison and the pa
tient usually RECEIVERS, although the
pain is intense. When a catch is
carried into the shops chloroform is
administered, which renders them in
nocuous and they are treated and
mounted on cards or placed in pa
per weights retailing at from 25 to
rs cents apiece.

SALT In CALIFORNIA.
Millions Of Tons in Natural Saline

Borax in It's Perfect State Also Found

Trade in VenomOuS
Insects.
fspecial Los Angeles Letter.

A LTHOUGH nearly everything that
- grows may be cultivated in south
q ern California its inhabitants have
thus far depended largely for susie
nance upon oranges and the money
spent so lavishly by tourists, who are
attracted by the climate and scenery.
With the increase in population, how
ever, many new industries are being
developed, notable among which is the
preparation for market of salt in it's
various forms. 1t is estimated that
millions of tons of this product are
awaiting the miner in southern Cali
fornia, which is natural saline basin.
Ages since, the ocean covered the ter
ritory between Salt Lake City and the
Gulf of California. Of this a large
portion of San Bernardino county
(geoIogically known as Lake Aubury)
and that portion of Inyo county known
as Ovens Lake, formed part. With
the gradual recession and evaporation
of the water, immense saline deposits
were formed. Daggett is, commercial
1y speaking, situated near the center
of this region and this little town of
one street, three blocks long, is al
ready the principal borax-shipping
point of the world, daily sending out
over 81 900 worth of this product. AL
though borax had been secured by
special process prior to that time, it
was first found in it's natural state in
San Bernardino county in 1864. At
that time it was worth $3.50 per ton, or
39cents perpound, wholesale. Now re
tails for seven cents. This great reduc-
ton in price has led to it's being put
to many new commercial uses. 1t is
necessity in welding, fuxing and the
treatment of ores, but to-day is most
employed in the manufacture of gran
lite and porcelain wares, so-called, and
enameled articles. San Bernardino
county produced $1,o13,251 worth in

est miles of desert in the world. Seven
feet wheels with eight-inch tires were
required to draw the so, 000-pound loads
through the deep sand. This enter

Owens lake, with an area of 100
square miles and an average depth of
40 feet, is called the largest soda foun-
tain in the world. 1t contains more
than 22,00O,000 tons of carbonate of
soda, according to government experts.
1t is expected that salt will soon be
mentioned with climate and oranges
as one of the leading wealth-producers
of California. In those irreclaimable
portions of the desert where animal
and vegetable life are but sparsely
represented by reptiles and cacti, and
which have generally been regarded
as totally worthless, one Indian seated
on a pillow drawn by cable is able to
place 700 tons of salt in winnows daily.
At Salton, salt is harvested, not man.

ton was performed there by nature
in past ages. There the product, when
plowed up. is so pure that it is only
necessary to grind and sack it. Large
salt works are being constructed at
Long Beach, while those at Redondo,
Oceanside, San Marcos and Coronado
are in full operation. Just now it is
principally along the lines of the rail-
ways that the salt deposits are being
worked, but the mineral has been
found in more than 20 great districts in
