| The borax fields Of the United States
fare mainly in the desert dry lake re-
gion of southern California, though de-
posts are found also in Nevada and Ore
gon. Borax was first produced IN tns
United States in 1864, at Borax Lake
California The borax was contained
lin the water of the lake and was OBJ
tanned by evaporation.
! The saline crusts of the so-calIed
dry lakes or borax marshes OF the Mo-
lhave valley were next mined for borax,
and afterWard, about 1888, work was be-
gun on the beds of colemanite, or borate
of lime, in San Bernardino county, Cal.
from which most Of the borax mined in
the United States has since been OBJ
ttained
/ The amount Of crude borax produced
lin the United States in 1903 was 4,430
lshort tons, valued at $651, 100. The pro-
duction in 1902 was IT ,4o4 short tons Of
/ refined borax, valued at $2.447, Ga,
and $500 short tons of crude borax,
valued at $4,000; total of 20
004 short tons, yaIs:ed at $2,538,614
Of the refined boaax So short tons, val
Eued at $3.50, 600, were borie acid. Had
the valuation in 1888 been taken on the
refined instead Of tue crude pfoeaet the
figures would have been s2.'5ss9oo IN
stead OF $661,400.
! The amount Of borax borates and
boric acid imported into the United
States in l902 was 1,6sa,a9l POUNDS,
valued at So, 236. In 1903 the amount
imported was sts,2o1 PONIES, valued al
ls47.o1S.
Refineries for bora1 are located at
Bayonne, N. j., Brooklyn. N 4, New
Brighton. Pa, Chicago, III, and san

Ieonvert the crude material into products
