SMALL AMOUNT
Of BORAX FOUND
IN THIS STATE
NEARLY ENTIRE OUTPUT is
CREDITED TO CALIFORNIA
BY GOVERNMENT

According to the United States
geological survey, there was con-
siderable increase in the production
of borax in the United States in
1911 over that of 1910 the output
for last year being $500 short
tons, valued at $l.569,15l, as COM
pared with 42,357 tons in 1910. val
ued at $1,2O1,S42. The quantities
stated, however, represent the crude
material mined This crude ore,
now being mined in California,
which state furnished practically
the entire product of borax in the
United States, is almost entirely
eolemanite. which is a borate of
lime. AS mined the product varies
considerably in its content of anhy-
drous boric acid
Borax Lake and Lake Hachinha-
ma, two small lakes near Clear
Lake, in California, about so miles
north of San Francisco, first pro-
duced borax on commercial scale
in 1864. At first borax was OBJ
tanned by evaporating the lake wa
ter, but this method was later sup
plemented by collecting and wash
ing the natural borax crystals which
were found imbedded in the mud on
the bottom of the lake.
Still later the so-called marsh or
dry-lake borax deposits were dis
covered, a considerable number OF
which were developed in western
| Nevada. Fish Lake, Columbus,
Rhodes, and Teals marshes, in
southwestern Nevada near the Cali
fornia line. Searles Dry Lake, Cane
Lake, Saline valley and Death val
ley, in California. were among the
| places where the more important
deposits of this type were mined.
Many of these marshes were faI
from lines of transportation when
borax was first shipped from them
and the product was generally haul
ed to the railroad by horse or mule
teams over long roads through the
desert.
The borax industry was establish
ed on essentially its present basis
when the bedded deposits of the
calcium borate mineral colemanite
we're first found in Death valley IN
1882 and in the following year al
Calico, about five miles from Dag
gett, Cal. BoraX and boric aei6
are now derived wholly from thest
deposits of borate of lime, the min
eral eolemanite furnishing practie
ally all the output. Since these
colemanite mines have ben worked
on a large scale the marsh or dry
lake deposits have been neglected
Instead of being erystallized iron
mixtures of other salts obtained
from marsh deposits. borax is nov
made exclusively in the refinerte
of the large borax companies Il
California and at eastern points.
The production of borax in 1s1
was the largest in the history OF tn
United States. except that for 1906
when the output was 5S,l7S shor
| tons. but the value of the produe
. ton in 1911 was greater.

r duction of borax in 1911 by Charlie
