Quicksilver Riches in Brewster County Texas Mining Boom Expands

Brewster county Texas leads in quicksilver production with Terlingua mines supplying much of the U S demand. Prices surged from 37 50 to 80 00 per flask in 1914 and later ranged 125 00 to 300 00, spurring prospecting and new capital as ore veins in Comanchean and Upper Cretaceous formations promise richer yields. Road, water, and fuel challenges loom, but coal discoveries and planned Rio Grande Post Road development aim to unlock a broader mining boom in the Big Bend region.

A Texas School Journal article argues for school based military training as a response to weak enlistment, proposing unitary drill within public education. It cites Alpine Public Schools four years of success with trained officers and a shift to a university trained instructor this session, aiming to blend physical training with national defense without creating a standing army.
