The Eagle Borax Works in Death Valley, California was established near Bennetts Well in 1882 by Isidore Daunet, J.M.
The extraction business operated until 1884 when problems mounted and Daunet killed himself.
The property was sold to the Death Valley Hotel Company in 1956, and finally to the National Park Service.
The boiler fire box remains, along with an earth mound at the site of the building.
