Snowy Soda and Gems from Nevada to Europe
The piece notes purified soda being fit for family use and mentions Nevada crude borax sold in Sacramento for five cents a pound. It catalogs minerals across the U S and Europe, then recounts the Ragan Chapel case in Ohio with Methodist Protestant property disputes, and ends with Clarence King describing a Sierra Nevada ascent chronicled in Atlantic Monthly.
