What Does West Texas Want?
What Does West Texas Need?
LET West Texas Speak For Herself
Austin. Tex. Jan. 9, 1911.

Austin. Tex, Jan. 9, 1911.
Editor Ell Paso Herald:
1 have noted, from time to time, your
editorials on the subject of better min
ing laws for the state and especially Tor
west Texas. I have been deeply inter-
ested in the matter for several years
and have written and spoken frequent
" on it at different times and places.
What do the people of West Texas
want? Has there ever been repre-
sentative gathering of the people VINO
are concerned in securing the develop
ment Of that region. a gathering at
which these matters can be discussed
and an agreement reached?
At the meeting Of the West Texas
Development congress at San Angelo.
December 6, 1909, a committee was
appointed to present a revision OF the
mining laws. but so far as I know this
committee has made no report FOR
recommendations. If it has been made
I have failed TO see 1t.
The recent meeting at Alpine was
not attended by many people from out
side of the town, am informed. That
meeting' resulted in certain recon-
mendations, most of them pertinent. It
should be followed by a more general
meeting Of the citizens of West Texas.
at which full discussion of all of the
matters involved could be, secured. and
recommendations made, that would ap-
peal to the present legislature.
It is generally agreed. throughout
West Texas, that the present mining
law is inadequate and burdensome, but
what changes are desired?
For the development of that vast
region two things are required.
First. the sreestablishment of the
mineral survey which was discontinued
by the legislature in 1905, after an
active existence of four years. During
these four years that survey published
the following bulletins relating to West
Texas:
No. 2. Sulphur. OH and Quicksilver
in trans-Pecos, Texas, 1902. Now out
No. 4. The Quicksilver Deposits of
Brewster County, 1902 Now out OF
print.
No. 6. The Mining Laws of Texas and
Tables of Magnetic Declination. Now
out of print.
No 7, Report of Progress for 1908
and Topographic Map of the Terlingua.
Quicksilver. District. A few copies left.
No. 8, Geology OF the Shafter Silver
Mine District, Preside County. A few
copies left.
=
of the Region North of the Texas <
Pacific BY. in Ell Paso County. A few
copies Ieftp.
In addition much space was given
in bulletin No. 5, 1902. to the minerals
and mineral localities Of West Texas.
That survey also cooperated with the
United States geological survey in the
preparation Of the splendid topographic
maps of the Terlingua quicksilver dis
trict and the Chisos mountains These
maps have been of the greatest value
to land surveyors in that part Of Brew
ster county.
With the exception of a few copies
of certain bulletins, there is now moth
ing that can be sent out in reply to
Inquiries concerning West Texas and
its mineral wealth. Professor Won
Steeruwitz did much valuable work
there under the Texas theological sur
vey, 16SS-1S92, but the results of his
work. were published in reports that
are now out Of print.
