PAST VOTE OF CALIFORNIA

over the vast wasteland, which to them was synonymous with tragedy and suffering, and uttered a farewell:

"Good-by, Death Valley." It has never known any other name. After these pioneers came others. Seekers of gold paused and prospected the valley and the surrounding mountains. Precious minerals were uncovered and hundreds flocked to the find. Location monuments still mark the claims they staked. Ruins of buildings still stand, marking a measure of success. Occasionally elongated mounds of earth and rock, some with crude wooden headboards, silently proclaim the resting place of those who tried and failed. Borax is chiefly responsible for the taming of Death Valley, for it was borax that brought in men and their families as permanent residents. The abandoned mining towns of Leadfield and Skidoo lend color to the history of the region. Nearby are other ghost towns such as Rhyolite, Bullfrog. Panamint City, Wildrose, and Ballarat.
