It looks like cotton balls.

It's a funny kind of mineral.
It's scattered
all over the place.

Maybe. It's got

It ain't gold

What do you mean by that?A man could retire

a proper deposit of borax.

A deposit of what?

Borax.

Borax? What's that?
221
00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:19,075
It's a mineral they use to make
soaps and medicines with.

00:14:19,119 --> 00:14:21,034
It's rare,

The scarcity of it,
that's what.

The only place
they can get it now
is a country called, uh, Tibet.

it'll burn green.
349
00:22:49,193 --> 00:22:50,978
Yeah. Burn green.
350
00:22:53,459 --> 00:22:55,330
Well, go on.
Test it.
351
00:22:55,374 --> 00:22:58,725
You pour the alcohol,
and I'll pour the acid.
352
00:22:58,768 --> 00:23:00,988
[ mutters ]
353
00:23:02,642 --> 00:23:04,861
Pour.
354
00:23:04,905 --> 00:23:06,820
That's enough.
355
00:23:09,866 --> 00:23:11,259
Light it.
356
00:23:13,827 --> 00:23:17,004
Rosie, what if it isn't?
357
00:23:18,527 --> 00:23:21,182
Aaron, we'll go on looking
for that gold mine together.
358
00:23:21,225 --> 00:23:23,402
Now, light it.
359
00:23:35,762 --> 00:23:39,113
It burns green, Rosie!
A wonderful green!
360
00:23:39,156 --> 00:23:40,984
Oh, Rosie![ laughing ]
361
00:23:41,028 --> 00:23:43,291
It's borax!
362
00:23:43,334 --> 00:23:45,380
Miles and miles
of borax!
363
00:23:45,424 --> 00:23:49,340
Oh, it burns green, Rosie!
A beautiful green!
364
00:23:49,384 --> 00:23:51,386
[ laughing ]
365
00:23:57,566 --> 00:24:01,396
Aaron Winters sold his claim
to W.T. Coleman
of San Francisco.
366
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,660
Then he and Rosie settled down
on a lovely ranch.
367
00:24:04,704 --> 00:24:07,489
And near the marsh where Aaron
found his cotton ball,
368
00:24:07,533 --> 00:24:10,797
Mr. Coleman set up
the Harmony Borax Works,
369
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,626
which still stands here
in Death Valley.
370
00:24:15,976 --> 00:24:18,935
Today, this important mineral
helps bring you
371
00:24:18,979 --> 00:24:22,461
glass, ceramics,
automobiles, fiberglass,
372
00:24:22,504 --> 00:24:25,420
and Death Valley Days.
