Potash Rivalry Spurs U S Aid for Mining in Texas
U S Senator Sheppard urged a five year program costing 500000 a year to fund Geological Survey efforts in Texas and New Mexico to locate commercial potash deposits. He said Texas holds much of the world’s potash potential and deposits may cover about 800 acres in the Southwest, mostly in Texas. The plan could cost 2500000 for thorough exploration, linking to nitrate prospects at Muscle Shoals. He also proposed extending rail damage claim filing from two to three years.
