Dispute over surface strip in Alpine mining claim heats up
The Alpine area sees a legal clash between D K Lindsay and the Dallas Mining Company over a 150 varas wide strip between surveys 33 and 34 in block 68. Official survey places the strip in survey 34 under mining law, while Dallas pursues the Hunnicot line from survey 33. Court action may follow if a settlement fails, as pumping plants and ore testing proceed on Terlingua creek by Dallas and Big Bend, with major water and ore developments underway.
