White Gold of the Desert

For being such a simple mineral, borax has a long history in Death Valley with many fortunes being found and lost searching for this white powder. Here we will visit the Lila C mine. This borax location was witness to one man losing his fortune, while another made a profit. Not much remains of the site today, but it is very important part of the story of borax mining in the Death Valley region.
