John Searles' Story
Discovering the desert - index - back/ next

Confiding in no one, Searles gathered samples of the crystals and took them to San Francisco to be assayed. Reports were uneven, first Searles heard the samples contained borax, then other analysis reported there was not a single trace. Disappointed, he returned to the desert and continued to develop his homestead and work his claims.
