Miner Drowns at Pancho Barnes
William A. White Jr. 25, a miner working for Pacific Coast Borax Co., drowned while 
swimming at the Rancho Oro Verde pool near Muroc last Sunday afternoon.
He had been swimming from noon until a little after 3 p.m. when other swimmers 
noticed he had not been seen for a few minutes. His body was recovered, and while 
artificial respiration was being administered, the Edward Air Force Base fire 
department was called. They brought their resuscitator, but efforts to revive him were 
unsuccessful. Captain White M.D. pronounced the man dead at 3:55. 
O'Donnell Funeral Home was called, and the body shipped to Glenside, Pa., for 
burial. He is survived by his parents and one brother of Roslyn, Pa.
