Mines to be worked again by bondholders this summer
Rumor circulates that the Ferris Haggarty and Deapne Rambler mines will reopen and be operated by bondholders of the reorganized company this summer. Portland Consolidated Copper plans a concentration plant at the Portland mine and expects spring work to boost crews. The Verde Colo-Wyo property, owned by Joe Smith, will reopen when snow clears, and the Wolverine at Pearl continues ore production. Encampment district mining revival looks strong with several properties likely to run soon after access improves.
