Harmony Borax Mines

These are the remains of a borax-processing plant and a 20-mule-team borax wagon. Laborares used to mine the borax off the ground and then carry it to the plant for processing. The wagon was used to carry the borax concentrate to the Mojave railroad station during a three week round trip. The plant was only used for a few years at the end of the 19th century.
