Heroic Effort Halts Flood Threat to Carbon Timber Boom
Only by strenuous two day labor did workers reinforce the Carbon Timber company boom across the North Platte at Fort Steele to prevent a massive loss. Hot mountain weather sent floods that moved 6,000 ties and 200,000 mine props downstream, straining the barrier and risking the season’s profits. If the boom failed, the downstream drive would be wrecked by rapids between Fort Steele and Casper and transport costs would erase profits.
