The Basalt Post Office operated from March 1906 until August 1906.[4]

In 1905, Diatomaceous Earth was discovered in the vicinity of Basalt.[3] In 1937, it was reported that last shipments in 1927 and 1928 totaled 5,000 tons that were shipped to Los Angeles.[3]

In 1940, it was reported that Basalt had an estimated population of 6 and that it was a small supply center for prospectors.[5]

In 1944, quarrying of diatomaceous earth commenced again.[6] In 1945 the United States Diatom Company sold its claims at Basalt to the Dicalite Company.[7] In 2018, 15 employees worked at the mine, which straddled Mineral and Esmeralda counties, producing 2,268 tons of diatomaceous earth.[8]

Normal scheme

In algebraic geometry, an algebraic variety or scheme X is normal if it is normal at every point, meaning that the local ring at the point is an integrally closed domain. An affine variety X (understood to be irreducible) is normal if and only if the ring O(X) of regular functions on X is an integrally closed domain. A variety X over a field is normal if and only if every finite birational morphism from any variety Y to X is an isomorphism. Normal varieties were introduced by Zariski (19...
