Saragosa gold hoax teased Reeves County tale from 1913
The Reeves County gold rush of 1913 around Saragosa began when T N Wilson drilled for water and two Mexican workers found ore samples believed to be gold.

Three oil and gas bills promised by Sen Bentsen
Senator Lloyd Bentsen outlines three legislative measures to move the U.S. toward energy self sufficiency amid shortages. He seeks higher federal royalty shares on new onshore leases, removal of foreign depletion allowances outside North America, and the creation of the Agency for Energy Adjustment to fund energy efficiency and fuel switching projects. These proposals aim to boost revenue, lower lease bids, spur drilling by independents, and accelerate energy conservation.
