Asbestos Boom Drives Wyoming Mining Firms to Midwest
Renewed activity in the Casper mountain and Smith creek asbestos fields signals a major Wyoming mining upturn. The Midwest Asbestos company, backed by Denver and Casper financiers, now controls the leading districts and mills. Directors include H P Waterman, L F Spratten, A D Lewis, J A Rendle, J W Hugus, and others. W E Bates is president. Plans call for an aerial tramway, five and a half miles of rail, and Denver factory production of shingles and flooring from the mines.
