Vintage Postcard - Old Harmony Borax Mill-Death Valley, California

Caption: Vintage Postcard - Old Harmony Borax Mill-Death Valley, California
Additional Description: The ruins of the old mill, a few miles north of the Furnace Creek Ranch, which was in operation from 1883 to 1987. A 20 mule-team could haul 46,000 pounds of borax and its own water and hay on the arduous ten day, 165 mile trip to Mojave via Wingate Pass. Truly one of the great legends of the West
