Miller Mountain, in the Candelaria Hills of Mineral County, Nevada, is associated with Francis Marion “Borax” Smith through the board-and-batten cabin where he lived when he discovered a rich borax deposit at nearby Teel’s Marsh. Its importance lies in that direct connection to a pivotal discovery in Nevada mining history and to the borax industry’s western development. Though modest in itself, the mountain holds a distinct place as part of the setting linked to one of the best-known figures in western borax.
