Wyoming asbestos boom grows from tiny beginnings
The Wyoming asbestos industry in the Casper region is described as in its infancy yet rapidly expanding. J. C. Ross accelerates work on a 200 ton mill, with a 270 horsepower Corliss engine, a 20 000 gallon water reservoir, and advancing fiberizing machinery. Five companies operate nearby with plans for large mills, and State Geologist Edwin Hall predicts asbestos wealth will surpass sheep profits, citing high ore quality and strong world demand.
