Harmony Borax Works

Ed is looking at the Harmony Borax Works, a mining operation that dates back to 1883. At full operation, 40 men produced three tons of borax daily and used the famed 20-mule teams to haul borax 165 miles to the railroad town of Mojave. The scraped the borax off the ground behind Ed, mixed it with water to disolve the borax and get the dirt out, then evaporated the water off to get the "processed borax" to haul out.
