Encampment Transforms as Saloons Close and Businesses Grow
The Encampment area undergoes rapid change with saloons closed and prohibition support rising. New ventures include Encaloment Stores by Jack Corlett and D. M. Tourtelot and National Guard with J. C. Rankin as manager. Morse Bros. buy Penn Wyoming properties and improve rail and mine operations. J.T. McShane becomes superintendent, and Char Oak Mine reopens under Rich Charter Oak Mining with E. Tilton as manager. Ranch land sales surge with eastern buyers and local improvements boost town prosperity.
