Sulphur Boom and Bust at Pecos Era Mines
The Pecos area hosts a revived interest in a historic sulphur field west of Orla after years of silence. Early 20th century surveys showed rich deposits and cheap ore at 3.75 dollars per ton, but embezzlement suits, impractical machinery, and high costs halted operations by 1922. Concrete foundations remain as a reminder of the Toyah Valley and Great Southern ventures, with old spur lines and a lone gasoline shovel still found in the pit.
