Potash and oil excitement grows in Pecos district
The Pecos Enterprise reports rising interest in potash mining with leases by major capital firms. Potash prices have ranged 200 to 300 per ton, while a nearby Bell well yielded about 300 barrels of oil in one hour signaling a strong flow. Drilling progresses slowly due to oil gushing near casing, with the Pico Company advancing an initial shaft to 60 feet and aiming for 90 to 100 feet as more wells come online.
