Will Get Forest Road Next Year
In a report from the county, the federal appropriation for building forest road through the encampment Snake River area is expected to proceed after the commissioners’ court meeting. If approved, funds will be available to begin clearing and grading work, easing livestock and hay shipments. The Portland Consolidated Copper Company plans extensive mining improvements near Encampment, increasing workforce to about two hundred at the mines and boosting the local economy. The Doane Rambler and Portland groups’ ore bodies show high copper and gold potential with multiple veins opened, suggesting a revived mining boom for the district.
