Simpich to Make Formal Demand Upon Governor
Nogales, Arizona, July 1 - Frederick Simpich, United States consul to Nogales, Sonora, announced here tonight that he would make a formal demand tomorrow upon General P. Elias Calles, military governor of Sonora, for the safe transport out of Mexico of Mrs. C.E. Ballow, wife of C.E. Ballow of Los Angels, their two sons and five grandchildren. The family is at a mine in southwestern Chihuahua, twenty miles from Chinapas, a four and one half days journey from the nearest railroad. Ballow, who is here, tried unsuccessfully to obtain permission from the Mexican authorities to go for his family. However, in response to an appeal for permission to send a message urging their immediate departure for the United States and telling them of the crisis between the two nations, the Mexican consulate allowed him to send a dispatch which said only that he was in Nogales and was well. Special trains carrying national guardsmen from California and Washington to augment the garrison here are expected to arrive before daybreak tomorrow.

"Charles Edwin and Ellen had a huge house, or hacienda, with a library and drugstore at Ballow Flats. There was a hugh tree with a table around it for parties. When bandits came to the house, they hid the silver and money in the well. Charles Edwin came close to getting killed when the bandits tried to take his horse, or donkey, named Molly and he yelled, "Don't take Molly"
"Nellie's father, Charley, left and built a mill in the valley and the trees. Grandma Hampton stayed a few years. Then one day she left and went to the states."

«b»History of Ellen Reyer Ballow Hampton of Levan, Utah - written by daughter-in-law, Tillie Ballow in 1940's (Grandma Hampton lived with her son Henry and Tillie the last years of her life.)
«/b»Ellen Reyer Ballow Hampton was born at Council Bluffs, Iowa April 1st 1860, a daughter of Christopher and Nancy Wild Reyer. When she was four years of age (in 1864) she crossed the plains with her parents, with mule teams, bound for California, passing through Salt Lake City. After a short time they went to Oregon, then back to California which is in the Northern part of the State not far from Mt. Lassen. There she grew up to womanhood and when she was old enough to work and earn her own living she went to Chico, California where she had employment. In Chico, she met and married Charles Edward Ballow in 1881.
In 1885 with her husband and their first son they went to Mexico, and she spent the next forty years of her life there with the exception of a few visits to her old home to see her Mother and relatives. At one time she did not see a white woman for more than eleven years. Charles Ballow was a promoter, and they lived at various mining camps, also he operated a large hardwood sawmill, always far up in the mountains. They lived in the States of Sonora, Durango, and Chihuahua. She pioneered and passed through many hardships and had numerous harrowing experiences. At the time Goronimo the Indian Chief fled into Mexico from the United States, they were very much afraid as he passed them within a mile, massacering everyone in several small villages. At one time the entire populace fled to the hills and hid in a small cave. Goronimo found them and killed every one right in the cave, which was later sealed and served as their burial place.
Mother Ballow also tells of a white family whom they knew, a man his wife and two children, the Indians captured the children and took them along with them. A posse was organized and followed the Indians, they found first one child then the other one with their brains beaten out. The Mother of the children went insane, the father took his gun and left to hunt Indians and that was the last they ever heard of him. Another incident she has told is about two drunken Indians carrying an ax, who came to her door and threatened to kill her, she managed to shut and lock the door while they were trying to force the door, she with a small child under each arm climbed out of a window at the rear of the house and rain to the mill, a short distance away where her husband was.
The Ballow family fared better during the Revolution when the Mexican Bandi Francisco Villa overthrew the government, as Villa had been employed by Mr. Ballow years before and was friendly and gave them protection, so they did not have to flee as most white families did, altho, they went thro trying times.
Charles Ballow died at Chinipas, State of Chihuahua, 16 April 1926, and the following August Mother Ballow decided to come back to the United States. Having always lived in rugged country, their mode of transportation was horseback and the little Mexican burros, and Mother Ballow always had had her own horse and saddle, so in leaving Mexico she rode horseback for three days, sleeping out with her saddle as a pillow, with only a Mexico peopn as escort, and her belongings on pack burros before reaching a railroad via El Paso, Texas.
She went to her girlhood home, to relatives, and in 1928 she married to Elbert Hampton of Paynes Creek, California. After his death she came to Levan, Utah to spend her declining years with her sons. She was the mother of four sones, one dying in infancy, in Mexico. Frank and Henry D. Ballow Levan, Utah, and Carl Ballow of Mexico. Also there are 20 grandchildren and numerous great grand children. She is very feeble, but still tries to tend her flowers, as she has always been a great lover of flowers, and does a great deal of reading.

«b»Tehama: Little City of the Big Trees«/b»
Pg. 8 - John Simpson, native of Scotland, blacksmith and machinist by trade, came to Tehama in 1855. Shortly after his arrival he took charge of the horse-shoeing and repair shops of the old California Stage Company. John Simpson was a wonderful person for Tehama. It was through his civic-mindedness that Tehama holds the place she does today. . . .
Pg. 11 - John Simpson gave up his blacksmithing and went into business with Charles Harvey, also a Scot. Tehama is deeply indebted to these two men for their contribution to the beauty of Tehama, for they were largely responsible for the great trees that line the streets of Tehama. It is a pleasure to write of men of such sterling qualities of character as those possessed by Simpson and Harvey. all accounts are of honesty, uprightness and integrity in business. They were known and respected by all - whites, Indians and Chinese alike.. . . .
Pg. 15 - In 1873, John Simpson withdrew from the Harvey firm and devoted most of his time to the city waterworks which had been controlled by the Harvey, Simpson Company. He later established his own business, a hardware store. It was the largest and most completely stocked hardware store north of Sacramento. It was often said that one could buy anything from a sewing machine needle to a thresher in this store. John Simpson had two sons, and the younger, George, followed his father's footsteps and until recently was owner and chief clerk in the old John Simpson Hardware Store. . . . .
Pg. 27 - In 1891, John Simpson constructed a 20,000 gallon water tank, principally as a fire protection, and two smaller tanks for supplying the town with water. The supply was drawn from the Sacramento River by steam power and was a source of pride to Mr. Simpson. . . . .
Pg. 30 Tehama was incorporated a full-fledged city on 2 July 1906. John Simpson was the first mayor. In August 1908, a most disastrous fire destroyed nearly the entire downtown section of Tehama. The fire started in a rear bedroom of the Tait House at 7:30 in the evening and was beyond control when discovered. It spread rapidly to the post office, drug stor, crossed the street to the Heider House, burned this and Gyles's store and a dwelling belonging to John Cavalier. . . It destroyed the Heider House, the Tait House, the John Simpson Hardware Sore, the water works, telephone office, Dr.. Mathew's brick building, Dr. Tartar's Drug Store, two barns, a livery stable, Bank of Tehama County, W.W. Storr's Saloon, Worthington Saloon, the barber shop and almost the entire remaining Chinatown were lost; few of these buildings or businesses were ever replaced.

«/b»Ballow is Afflicted With a Mysterious Malady - H.D. Ballow, formerly of this city, but recently in the employment of the Nevada Lime & Rock Company at Sloan, came to the Las Vegas Hospital shortly after the first of the month, afflicted with a mysterious "sleeping sickness." At the time he arrived here he had been asleep most of the time for about a week and since entering the hospital has been asleep practically all the time except when aroused by his physician or nurse.
However, the last few days he has been shaking off the coma and Dr. Martin believes he will be all right again soon. The malady is peculiar in that the only alarming symptom is the inability of the patient to keep awake for more than a few moments at a time, being apparently normal in all other respects.

«b»Las Vegas Clark County - 10 December 1921 - Large Sodium Sulphate Deposit near Las Vegas
«/b»Large Sodium Sulphate Deposit Near Las Vegas
It is perhaps not known to the people of Las Vegas, that within two miles of Las Vegas there occurs one of the largest deposits of high grade Sodium Sulphate Salts in the State. This deposit covers some two thousand acres in area. The deposit is located in township 20 S. Range 62 E. M.D.B.& M and is well situated for extensive and economical development. it is in view of the knowledge of the occurence of this large deposit of commercial Sodium Sulphate, that I have made the statement that in the near future there would be established in this valley a large alkali works for the manufacture of caustic soda, a commodity which is extensively used in the soap industry and numerous other industrial and commercial purposes. The process of manufacture is a very simple one, requiring only caustic lime as an agent to convert the sodium salt solution whereupon there is. This agent is used in the form of milk lime which is added to the sodium salt solutin whereupon there is an exchange of atoms through chemical actions. The caustic lime being converted to lime sulphate and the sodium sulphate to caustic soda.
The establishment ofthis industry in this valley would bbe of great benefit to the lime industry already well established in this district, and I earnestly hope that any efforts in calling this wonderful deposit to the attention of our progressive citizens will not be in vain towards the promotion of industrial activity along this line of industry.
