'This volume consists wholly of articles selected from the successive numbers of the American Messenger, to the middle of its thirteenth volume. William Allen Hallock (1794-1880) was the agent for the New England Tract Society (based in Andover, MA) when it changed its name to the American Tract Society in 1823 with the intention of becoming a national organization. The New York Religious Tract Society, considering a similar goal, contacted the New England group in 1824 about a possible merger. Hallock, believing that "the great wicked city of New York" should be its home, was influential in effecting this in 1825. He went on to wear many hats, including that of editor for the American Messenger. RELIGION BOX 10

192574084New York: Pacific Coast Borax Co. ca. 1925. First edition. Small twelvemo. The title page reads "Concerning Borax Bill and the Famous 20 Mule Borax Team from Death Valley California." 116 pp. including frontispiece of Borax bill. Charmingly illustrated through and with a half-tone of the mule team across two pages. Publisher's brown printed wrappers with highlights in red. Excellent condition. he wagons were among the largest ever pulled by draft animals designed to carry 10 short tons 9 metric tons of borax ore at a time. The rear wheels measured seven feet high with tires made of one-inch-thick iron. The wagon beds measured 16 feet long and were 6 feet deep and were constructed of solid oak. They weighed 7800 pounds empty; when loaded with ore the total weight of the mule train was 73200 pounds. Long after the transportation of the borax was mechanized the company sent. out these 20 mule teams as a sort of advertisement. Promotional team appearances ended with an outing in the January 1 1999 Rose Parade. They have become perhaps the leading symbol of Death Valley. Pacific Coast Borax Co. unknown
190676852Tonopah: N.p. 1906-06. Two legal Agreements and other ephemera detailing the proposed sale of the Keane Wonder Mine in Death Valley owned by John Keane and Domingo Etcherran to E. H. Wedekind for $150000 in 1905. The 1905 Agreement is 6 pp. printed on rectoss only and details a payment plan fofr Wedekind It is signed by John Keane and Domingo Etcherran and their attorney Thomas Keane attorney signed for all parties as it is likely that John Keane and Domingo Etcherann were Illiterate. The seond official Agreement is only two pages long and it is attorney-signed for the J. Keaned and D. Etcheran and this one was signed by E. H. Wedekind. It just seems to add a proviso that the two men couldd continue theri mining until January 20th of 1906. The original Agreement was never signed by Wedekind and obviously fell through. Homer Wilson and John Campbell were the final purchasers again in 1906 of the twenty claims that comprised theKeane Wonder Mine. Keane Wonder Mine. Agreement 1905. E. H. Wedekind to purchase the Keane Wonder Mine from John Keane and Domingo Etcherran for $150000 with $10000 down. The 1905 contract was drawn up in Tonopah NV and it is not signed by by E. H. Wedekin Five yellow legal pages unsigned with pencil notes concerning deferred payments stock payments payment timing an option memo to John Keane and bond information. Similar terms had been offered to Captain J. R. Delamar in 1904; he was given one year to pay but failed to do so whereupon the mine reverted to Keane and Etcharran and Wedekind was sought as a new purchaser. Wedekind was a prominent California mining engineer incorporator of the Falls City Belt Line Railroad fiscal agent for the Elgin Quicksilver Mines until finally striking it rich in Ryholite. The yellow legal pages bear a “Sunset†watermark listed in the 1910 directory as belonging to H. S. Crocker of San Francisco. 2011-114 N.p. unknown
190976832Death Valley: N.p. 1909. Twenty-seven noncommercial stereoviews 7 x 3 1/2 inches. The photographs are very sharp and mounted onto plain gray mounts. Overall excellent condition.We can find no other history of a stereoscopic documentation of a gold prospecting expedition in Death Valley nor anywhere else in California for that matter. Almost all of the cards are dated and they bear the same date of January 1909 which leads one to think that they packed it up after a month. The ostensible first view is the exception; it is dated Dec. 1908 and shows a couple of the party standing next to two of Smith's huge borax wagons in Ludlow California. Ludlow was the southern railhead for the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad operated by the Pacific Coast Borax Company and bringing borax and other mining products from Death Valley and Beatty Nevada to long distance Santa Fe Railway lines. The mere fact that one of the exploring party carried a stereoscopic camera is in itself remarkable as a decent such camera is 1909 cost between $50 and $75 dollars or between $2000 and $2500 in today's dollars. Death Valley prospector's were not known for their wealth and a burro was their usual big ticket item.The majority of the cards have annotations on the verso. From those we learn some of the party's names "Emmit" "Dickie"etc. but no last names and the names of the places in the Valley where they prospected. Their main site seems to have been Gold Basin in the Funeral Mountains of the eastern part of Death Valley. There is no record of a Gold Basin in the literature of Death Valley. Place names in Death Valley were still fluid at this point and the name was likely made up at the time. Probably it become what is now called Golden Canyon. We do know that they were solely active in the Funeral Mountains and this was likely due to the fact that the most successful strikes in Death Valley were also in the Funeral Mountains. The famous Keane Wonder Mine was still very active in January of 1909 and some $600000 in gold and silver were mined before it began to fizzle in 1911. Some of the other places named and shown in the stereos are South Mountain. Gold Mountain Rhode's Wash Scott's Canyon and Scott's Cave Death Valley Narrows Saddle Horseshoe Ridge and others. Again none of the names given by this party survived. Member's of the prospecting party are shown in 16 of the views and it seems to have consisted of six members. One interesting view is captioned "Prospector's Camp and Forge Bill Keys of Death Valley." At age 15 Keys left home to work as a ranch hand smelter worker and miner honing skills that would define his later years. His early adventures took him to Arizona where he served as a deputy sheriff in Mohave County and to Death Valley where he befriended the colorful prospector Walter “Death Valley Scotty†Scott. The year after this photo was taken Keys took a job as custodian and assayer at the Desert Queen Mine in what is now Joshua Tree National Park. He soon took ownership of the land and it became the famous Desert Queen Ranch.Why these views were taken remains something of a mystery. It is more than likely especially when keeping in mind the outrageous cost of a stereoscopic camera in 1909 they they were to be used as an advertising ploy to lure investors into investing in mining Death Valley. The two most famous and best producing gold mines in the history of Death Valley Skidoo and the Keane Wonder Mine were both at their height in 1909 and western Nevada with its mining booms in places like Goldfield Tonopah Rhyolite Bullfrog etc. was also in full-swing. We can be thankful that the anonymous photographer was very skilled; the images are very sharp and he often conveyed the desolation and grandeur in a way not seen before. In recent times taking a trip to Death Valley is considered just another fun road trip but in 1909 is was a perilous endeavor not to be undertaken lightly. N.p. unknown
