Old Grand Encampment Bubble Recalled After Promoter's End
The Los Angeles death of Willis George Emerson recalls the North American Copper scheme in Wyoming twenty years ago. Promoted by Emerson with the Ferris Haggerty mine as its base, it produced a $20 million pyramid of stock. The bubble burst, stockholders lost, and the town of Encampment faded. Emerson argued he was frozen out by the Standard Old Crowd. The Penn Wyoming Copper company later sold for under $200,000, and Encampment fell to ruin as the ferris Haggerty mine filled with water.
