3-19-99 White Pot Mine in Death Valley, Ca Destroyed by Park Service

Excerpt from emails between David A. Wright, Great Basin Research and Dave Brenner of the NPS.

Hi Dave,

What's the current condition of the Pfizer talc mine camp in Warm Springs
Canyon (the "White Pot Mine")? I was last there in December 1997 but
didn't take a close look at the camp, although on a visit in September
1996 I found it to be rather ramshackle. The pool was clean though, and
I found some cleaning supplies stashed nearby. I hear the pool is
cleaned periodically by passerby and the pool drained each winter by
volunteers. I've also heard that the Park Service may clean up the camp.
Thanks.

I just received his reply. It goes:

The pool is destined to be removed, the metal buildings were
crushed and removed by the park service.

I have no official news on the fate....but I just use the
past "improvements" to predict the future....

So save them pictures by Steeles and myself! That's all that will be
left of the place before long.
