CASPER, Wyo., April 26-(SpeeiaL)-C.
A. Martin and l.. Z. Martin of san Fran
cisco, president and secretary, respectively,
OF the United States Asbestos Mining and
Milling company, were in Casper several
days during the last week looking over the
asbestos fields near here on Casper noun
tain. The elder Martin stated that he had
never seen a richer asbestos deposit than
the one visited here. The Martins. to-
gether with other capitalists, are deeply
interested in the CaspsH mountain property
and have signihed their intention to de-
velop the mines at once. Mr.. Martin left
on Saturday for the east and Will pur-
chase machinery for a complete manufac-
turing plant to be located at Casper The
expenditure for this purpose will be about
$4,000 Already a iberlzinE plant is being
installed at the mines. and with the com
pletion OF the manufacturing plant in
Casper the product will be shipped from
here IN a finished condition. Mr.. Mar
tin says that the fields are so vast that
Il is impossible 10 estimate the number
OF tons Of asbestos that may be taken
from them and that from appearances the
supply is practically ineXhaustible. There
are now on the dumps OF the various
mines at least 90 tons Of asbestos ready
70 be worked as soon as the necessary
machinery Is installed.
